Watership Brass is pleased, and proud, to announce that Dr. Chris Davis OBE has agreed to lead our band in a workshop on Sunday 6th June 2010. Following on from his adjudication and comments at the recent GBBA Entertainment Contest, we are looking forward to working with him on our dynamics, breathing techniques, listening and other musical areas. It will certainly be an exciting and interesting opportunity to work with such an experienced musician in order to improve our group.
