Details
DescriptionThe former factory had recently been converted to a church; its auditorium could seat 1000; this concert's audience had pupils from the following schools; Silverstream, Upper Hutt, St Brendan's, Silverstream Christian, Brentwood, Mangaroa, St Joseph's, and Hutt International Boys'. For the occasion, each section of the orchestra wore tops of different colours.
The concert described the history of the orchestra, starting with 15 players in a 17th-century role, and ending with 55 playing 20th-century music.
Here, compere/conductor is demonstrating the early system where the orchestra's leader kept time by tapping the floor with a stick; batons and conductors appeared in the 1800s.
