The Beatlets

Formed in September 2007 this is the newest percussion ensemble at the music centre. This group has 8 members ages 9-11. The Beatlets gave their first public performance in Rochdale Town Hall as part of Music for Youth’s regional festival and the adjudicators commented that they showed much potential. Rehearsals happen on Saturday mornings from 9:15 to 9:45 at which time most of the group go on to form the percussion section of the Junior Wind Band.

 

 

 

 

 

The Big Bang Theory

 

This group was renamed in 2007 as it was felt that their ages (and heights) no longer suited the somewhat cuter title of The Beatlets. Currently a percussion quintet this group has proved to be very consistent in the eyes of adjudicators at many music festivals over the years. Repertoire ranges from arrangements and semi improvised pieces to Christmas favourites. The Big Bangers have their rehearsals on Saturdays at 11:30.
