On Thursday 22nd June the NMS and CMS Samba Band, lead by Steve Doyle from Music Partnership North, performed for the Northumberland School Games.
They played for the opening ceremony and around the pitches for various sports and events to entertain both players and spectators. The band even paired up with members of Cragside Primary School djembe ensemble to perform some wonderful pieces.
Much fun was had by all!
