Joshua entered two categories last Saturday in the “Jazz, Rock and Pop” section: “percussion solo” and “jazz improvisation solo – any instrument”. He was awarded first prize in both categories, being awarded “merit” (despite dropping a stick during the performance!) and “outstanding” respectively. At the end of the event, Joshua then went on to be awarded with the prize of overall winner for the day across all performances in all categories for producing the only performance of the entire day to gain the highest classification of “outstanding”! He was also given The Royal Russell Award, which is a monetary award (much to his pleasure!) for “the most promising school aged performance”. Two of the adjudicators subsequently suggested to us that we make contact with the junior departments of the four main music colleges in London with a view to sending Joshua to Saturday classes. Joshua has acknowledged the CPPB's part in this success and for this we would wish to thank you. Best regards, Vic & Yvonne Davis.
