The Thames Festival

The other Sunday it was the Thames Festival. This is now an annual event in London and every year we have kids from school participating in it. The kids do a summer school with my colleague Mat, who is the musical director of a company called Kinetika, and they do a couple of carnivals throughout the year, including Notting Hill and the Thames Festival. They also perform at the London Jazz Festival.
Anyway, I went up town on Sunday night to help out. Usually I end up playing sax with the group and taking part in the procession, but this year I was water girl and just wandered around with the group dishing out cups of water.
The procession was very good, and here's a couple of pictures of our CEBS trombone girls all dolled up in their kit:

Well I hope it was better than the year we did. Remember how we had to walk around holding the lights that gave out by the end!!!
