My daughter is a Music teacher at a comprehensive school in Ilkeston, Derbyshire (pupil ages 11 to 16).
Today, the local council, Erewash Borough Council , hosted a schools music event at the bandstand in Victorial Park , Ilkeston.
A beautiful municipal park with a stunning bandstand,
My daughter's students , together with 5 primary schools created a fabulous morning event in the summer sun.
My daughter can be seen on the far left hand side of the photo . This was before the event started as students and support staff were doing sound checks
This lovely shot gives us such a good feel for the busy preparations. The bandstand is so attractive.. nicer than the one in the Arboretum shown yesterday and considerably more so than ours in Aberystwyth which is built to withstand the force of the sea on the prom.
Something about a bandstand filled with musicians....haven’t seen that fir a long time. Uplifting & great to hear....just short of the deckchairs now! Good for your daughter....you must be proud!
That is so great !!!!!!!!! I was a music teacher for 35 years. Taught everything from K-6 General Music, instruments and Jr. & Sr. High Band and 5-6 gr. chorus and Jazz Band and Marching Band. Give her my best.!!!!!!!!
