The children across year 6 were visited by the Romford Drum and Trumpet Corp. The children had the opportunity to try a range of instruments, all which could be found in a marching band. Horns, trumpets and drums, the children enjoyed experiencing first hand how the instruments worked and the arrangement of different sounds which could be made. If that wasn't enough, the children were able to try on official Romford Drum and Trumpet Corp uniform.
With their resourceful skills at the ready, all 90 children from Year 6 were taught how to march, including the very tricky turn whilst staying in perfect formation. The children had to assess the situation quickly to identify when they needed to slow down or speed up.
I got to take charge of the marching; it was very tricky at first but once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed the experience. Daniel, Larch Class.
