HUMS Aloud
Intermittent and electic views of life/students at the Huntingdonshire Music School in Cambridgeshire, UK. Home to some 400 amateur musicians learning their craft. Ranging in age from 4 years old to 84 years old we're a diverse bunch. We all have some things in common, though - we like making music and having fun. Most of the activity happens during term times on saturday mornings but we do get out - to play at concerts and outdoors and also on tour - this year Austria.Not sure how we're going to use this techn ology or even how often. If you want to find out you'll just have to go with us as we make this new journey into the unknown!

Czardas on Tuba
4 May 2007 at 1:09pm
As part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of the Huntingdonshire Music School we had an event, the 'Leader's Excuse-Me' on the Saturday evening. This concert provided an opprtunity to be entertained by the teachers/staff - makes a change for the boot to be on the other foot.     Luckily there was an audio-recorder in the neighbourhood so it was possible to record the evidence. It was some concert and full of variety and surprises. One of these was provided by Robin Norman, who directs the Senior Concert Band, who showed that rather than hiding his talents behind a bushel he had clearly been hiding his behind a large double E-flat tuba! ...

Short clip from Anglia News (covering the eastern part of the UK) featuring short items from the 40th birthday celebrations.This was originally broadcast at 07:00am on Monday 26th March 2007 and not repeated. Very easy to miss therefore. Since it is so short we advise you not to blink otherwise you'll miss the good stuff!
Big 4-0. Brass Band - 'The March King' (Sousa)
14 Apr 2007 at 5:22pm
The Huntingdonshire Music School is 40 years old this year.  To celebrate this we arranged a complete weekend's worth of concerts and music-making activities - running through from Friday 23rd March through to Sunday lunchtime on the 25th March.   Obviously part of this involved some poor fools having to play during the night or unsociably early hours of the morning. These slots were referred to as the 'Twilight Zones'. Mostly they involved solo or duet performances (have you tried getting an orchestra to play at 4 o'clock in the morning? ) We did, however, manage to persuade the Intermediate Concert Band to arrive for 8 o'clock on ...
