Over 160 young people from across the Burnham-On-Sea area gathered in St John’s Church, Highbridge to take part in a special ‘Youth Makes Music’ concert organised by the town’s Rotary Club.
“The idea was to bring together local schools to promote music and the joy of performance,” said one of the organisers, Brian Bell from Burnham Rotary Club.
“It turned out to be a great success, with over 160 young people taking part in front of an audience of 200 parents and friends.”
“All proceeds from the sell-out concert were divided between the eight schools taking part, and were put towards the provision of new equipment and facilities in their music departments.”
The schools involved were Beechfield Infants School Choir & Percussion, St John’s Junior School Choir (pictured above), West Huntspill Primary School Choir & Recorders and East Huntspill Primary School Choir & Percussion.
Also taking part were groups from Berrow Primary School Recorders & Drums, St Andrew’s Junior School Guitars and Choir, St Joseph’s Primary School Choir and King Alfred School. Refreshments were provided by the Inner Wheel Club of Burnham.
