Shoppers in Mitchell were in for a treat this afternoon as the Mitchell Combined Schools Band gave a pavement performance alongside the Mitchell Pharmacy. Under the guidance of Naden Gray, 23 children (from Mitchell State School and St Pat's) and two adults made music in Mitchell. In dappled shade, three young boys and a girl played percussion instruments, their faces creased in concentration as a road train thundered by on the Warrego Highway, only metres from their drums. "George of the Jungle" received the greatest applause, with clarinets, trumpets, trombones, saxophones and a euphonium coming together to a crowd-pleasing finale.
Reaching out into the community and sharing their love of music, the Mitchell Band makes regular appearances around Mitchell and throughout the region. Such is their gift.
