Remembering Jenny Morrish 1984-2015
Many of our friends and family will know that not long after the Australian Nationals of 2015, our dear friend and percussionist extraordinaire, Jenny Morrish, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and passed away 7 weeks later.
We had always promised Jenny that we would one day supply her with a decent set of percussion equipment to play on.
In her memory and honour, we raised funds to purchase a professional set of timpani and other percussion equipment that the band has desperately needed for many years.
Our poor percussionists had been forced to rehearse on substandard equipment. Despite their best attempts, even musicians of Jenny's caliber couldn't make our timpani sound decent!
But, being Jenny, she approached rehearsals with good humour and perseverance!
We thank everyone for their support in fundraising for FYCB percussion equipment. We now have a fantastic set of professional equipment.
