Carnival Street Band, Spring 2023

Trumberbone Street Band Success!

The young people of East Lothian’s Trumberbone Street Band came together once again this Feb to play in their very own samba band.

This project has been running for a few years now, and is going from strength to strength. The young people get the opportunity to learn trumpet and/or trombone as well as getting to play some cool grooves on the drums.

They were lucky enough to have a visit from DeLighters Circus Company as well, and took part in a workshop. See below for some photos of this fabulous three day course.
