Bertie sends his thanks to the GBBA

Dear Bursary Fund,

Thank you for the generous financial support you gave me so that I could attend the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain Children's residential course.

I had an extraordinary time; we were very busy playing lots of music and taking part in fun activities. I had never been away from home for so long, and I'm proud that I was up to the challenge. I met lots of new people and the course inspired me to be the best cornet player I can be.

I am very grateful to have had the opportunity. Thank you once again.

Bertie Barzillia, age 10
