An RAF band stopped off at Plymouth College last week as part of a tour of South West schools. Organised by the RAF Careers Service, the series of concerts promote career options in music rather than service in the RAF.
The lively event kicked off with a Big Band number and included the theme tune from 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. The band then played a montage of TV themes, which the pupils were encouraged to guess. One unsuspecting teaching was chosen to go on stage and 'conduct' while pupils got to join the band and play a variety of percussion instruments.
"This was the first time the band has visited Plymouth College", said Head of Music and Performing Arts, David Green. "We were delighted that the RAF chose us as part of the tour and the 30-strong ensemble certainly didn't disappoint. It was a huge success and we hope to welcome them again next year."
