The co-operative Big Band
An amazing experience for the Cooperative Big Band at the 'Big Jazz Day' alongside DYJO 1&2 and the fabulous Tom Green and his awesome Septet. The team took part in a workshop with Tom, culminating in a concert with each ensemble performing their own 20 minute set. The Coop team delivered a very mature set as part of the evening concert and we received some lovely comments on how well we are performing.
What a phenomenal day for the team and special thanks to Devon Music Service for the invite and Sam Massey's brilliant planning.

A 'fab' performance from the team at The Music for Youth, Cornwall Festival hosted in Truro on Friday 1st March. The two adjudicators were very impressed with our vocalist Sara Holc and the way that the team delivered the swing feel, balance and tight rhythmic figures. A special mention for our young drummer, Alfie who played brilliantly on his first solo drumming performance with the Coop BB (star in the making). We now await to see if we have been successful in being referred to play in the nationals in Birmingham. π€
Next stop, Exeter School with Tom Green and DYJO.....can't wait. πΊπ΅π
Another terrific return to Calstock Arts on Friday 9th February 2024.
The team pulled it out the bag with limited rehearsals and new charts and new joiners! The audience loved it and one local resident said "we rated in the top 3 acts she's ever seen at Calstock!"
Next stop Truro Music for Youth Friday 1st March and then The Big Jazz Day Saturday 9th March with DYJO and Tom Green from London. πΊπ·πΉπ₯π΅π

Well what a privilege to perform alongside our current students from Lipson and across the city (and Alumni) at the The Buckland Abbey Xmas Fayre this weekend.
The Cooperative Big Band 'punched well above their weight" and one compliment to certainly note was 'Seth Lakeman' saying "wow, what a fantastic sound, especially the vocalist (Sara Holc) and pianist (Cherno).
The Coop BB will now concentrate on our Lipson Xmas Concert Tuesday 12th December in the Muse and Calstock Arts Centre in 2024 (Date to be confirmed).
Well done team!
