Concert Band
Buffalo Soldier
By Tanya Landman
"What kind of a girl steals the clothes from a dead
man's back and runs off to join the army? A desperate
one. That's who." At the end of the American Civil War,
Charley - a young African-American slave from the
deep south - is ostensibly freed. But then her adopted
mother is raped and lynched at the hands of a mob and
Charley is left alone. In a terrifyingly lawless land,
where the colour of a person's skin can bring violent
death, Charley disguises herself as a man and joins the
army. Soon she's being sent to the prairies to fight a
whole new war against the "savage Indians". Trapped
in a world of injustice and inequality, it's only when
Charley is posted to Apache territory that she begins to
learn what it is to be truly free.
The concert Band is to move to a Monday
lunch time, starting on Monday 20th April,
in Rm 68. It is open to instrumental
players of any standard. No audition
needed. Please do come along. We would
love to see you there. We are getting
ready for a KS3 concert at the end of the
Summer term.
For more information please speak to
Mr Smith.
