Were you in the school band? Here are 9 reminders of musical Sunderland and East Durham youngsters getting ready to perform
We are going musical with a look back on school bands from yesteryear.
From a salsa band at Grindon Hall to the brass band at Bexhill, we have it all.
We found 9 great photos of school bands and orchestras in the Sunderland Echo archives and we can’t wait to share them with you.
Can you spot someone you know? Or maybe you are in the spotlight yourself.
Take a look and then get in touch with your memories of those musical days.
