Saturday 17th March.
Had another busy day today. Remi had organised to visit three [or was it four ? lost count]! villages where the childrens' Bands are practising for their regional contest next month.
One Band was made up mainly of girls with only two boys . That's girl power !! We stayed with them for a couple of hours to help prepare their set piece. This band was probably the best of the Bands that we visited.
Then, after refreshments, it was off to the next villages to start it all again.
After we had done the masterclass bit in each village, the party members from England gave a mini concert so the children could hear a British sounding Band.
We had Phil Storer and Robert Morgan on cornet, Mark Taylor and Barbara Morgan on horn, Jo Millin, Paula Inglby and Derek Barnes on euph / baritone and Trevor Moss on bass.
We returned to the Hotel for an hours rest , then it was off to a folk evening where Lithuanias premier folk group were celebrating 10 years and being crowned champions.
What a party that was !!
