Just realised there has been a massive gap in my postings. We've been very busy over the last few weeks delivering a project with the mini BSO (Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra) and Dorset Music Services. On Monday 10th February the mini BSO performed in three different schools on Portland and each session was followed by a 'have a go' session on woodwind instruments led by music service tutors. Over 600 students saw the performance and around 90 students had the chance to try playing an instrument.
On Saturday 22nd February the mini BSO are giving a another concert for the community in a local community centre, a late morning event. Although not SEQ focussed our young people have helped with promoting the event via social media, re tweeting, distributing posters etc. They will be helping with refreshments and running a raffle.
This is the third fund raiser since November so now we will discuss with the young people what they would like to spend some of the money on, we always try and reward their efforts by purchasing some much needed equipment. Much of what we have is begged, borrowed or donated.
The tuck shop is now a permanent fixture at our weekly workshops and we officially launch our social enterprise art strand on 24th February.
