Cambridge Graduate Orchestra

On Saturday, we photographed the Cambridge Graduate Orchestra concert at West Road Concert Hall - a building that has stood the passage of time well, having been built in 1978.  The lighting is very mixed so quite a challenge and many images were converted to monochrome. Some images (including clarinet soloist Poppy Beddoe) were taken at the rehearsal.

More from the Pipe Festival

A couple more reflection photos from the marching band displays on Tuesday. The American Cadets from South Carolina had the shiniest bells. There were bands from around the globe including Swiss Highlanders and a Polish Band. Here are two of the best turned out bands - the massed pipes of Scottish regiments and the Jordanian Pipers.

The Drummer

Taken with rear curtain flash to attempt movement of the drumstick - more or less worked.
