The Big Blast 2026
Thank you to everyone who attended The Big Blast this year!
The Big Blast is our annual February half term orchestral project for young musicians aged 5 to 18, from Grade 1 to post-Grade 8. The Big Blast brings together wind, percussion and brass players for a music filled two days.
The project took place at Dean Close Senior School for the first day, then moved to Tewkesbury Abbey for a second day of rehearsals followed by a performance for family and friends.
The young musicians were be supported by tutors from Gloucestershire Academy of Music, The Flowers Band and GSW Music Hub.
