Instrumental/Band sessions, adjudicated by Anna Penno of Brandon, kicked off the first portion of the 2023 Virden Music & Arts Festival in the Aud Theatre on Mar. 13.
Band teachers pull together a group of young musicians making a start with instruments that can seem daunting at first. The correct pitch, accurate timing, and attention to the music's message - it's a lot to ask but - that's what these conductors teach their students and that's what the adjudicator is listening and watching for.
