German Rotary exchange student Flora Gahmig with PSCB music director Duncan Clement.
The Parkes Shire Concert Band (PSCB) has welcomed a new member from Germany. Flora Gahmig, a German Rotary youth exchange student, has come to Parkes on a one-year exchange and is staying with four host families. She is in Year 10 at Parkes High School. As she has been playing violin for ten years, she was keen to join the PSCB to continue making music.
She loves being part of the band and adding strings to the texture of the music of the band. It is also a great opportunity for her to make new friends.
As the band’s music director Duncan Clement plays and teaches the bagpipes, Flora has decided to take lessons to learn this unique instrument.
PSCB rehearsals are during school terms above pool complex 7-9pm on Tuesday. New members are always welcome.
