Brook View's Beer Bottle Orchestra"

Welcome to the incredible "Brook View's Beer Bottle Orchestra"! We had our extraordinary duo leading the way: Companion Jo on the flute and our talented musical coordinator, Fiona, as the conductor. This amazing idea came from Jo's creative mind, and we're thrilled to present it to you!

Jo shared with our residents the fascinating concept of using beer bottles as percussion instruments. By gently clinking the sides of their bottles, they create a symphony of unique sounds. Fiona meticulously tuned each bottle, ensuring they harmonised beautifully, while Jo mesmerised us with the enchanting melody of the "Blue Danube" on her flute.

After some practice, our residents felt confident and ready to put on a performance, which we have to say, went rather well. We must mention Fiona's brilliant skills as the "mad conductor", adding an extra touch of magic to the show.

Resident Pam expressed her delight, saying, "‘it was nice to be involved in the music, even if it was slightly bonkers, we had a lot of fun!"
