FESTIVAL GETS SOME BALLS!




Aberdeen's Westburn Tennis Club has donated its used tennis balls to the Aberdeen International Youth Festival's (AIYF) Youth Orchestra.
Grampian Youth Orchestra is using the balls in preparation for their concert on Thursday August 9 at Aberdeen Beach Ballroom.
The youngsters are under the tutelage of innovative American conductor Randell Swiggum, who is using the balls to teach the musicians about co-ordinating beats and rhythms.
AIYF Music Assistant Claire Evans said: “We are really pleased that we managed to get hold of the tennis balls for this exercise. We phoned the club just in time, as they usually donate them for use in police dog training.”
Tickets for the concert at 3pm in Aberdeen Beach Ballroom are available from Aberdeen Box Office on 01224 641122.
