Workshops And SCHOOL Concerts
HPB's Workshops & School Concerts
The 'Workshop' is for Music Students from curricular and co-curricular programs with a key aim of demonstrating the connection between music and movement. By focusing on performance technique, musical expression, and improvisation, we co-create a musical performance with the school band. If you decide to include the concert add-on we then showcase this arrangement to the rest of the school as the grand finale!
The 'Concert' is an interactive roving style concert designed to inspire students to begin and/or continue their musical journey and gain an understanding of Hot Potato Band’s history, arrangements and the origins of brass band music. Our experience over the last 2 years has shown us that school bands have been hindered by lockdowns and so we hope to reinvigorate school band programs through showing them the power of a high energy and expressive performance.
