Flyte Youth Orchestra

Joe:          Hi! I’ve just seen an incredible documentary about a musician called Ruth Boden. She goes hiking and plays music in the countryside. At times, there aren’t any people, just the rocks and the trees. Maybe we can do something similar this summer?

Kate:        How about a trip in September? The weather’s cooler then. I think when music is played outside,
it sounds better than in concert halls.

Joe:          Exactly! Ruth realised that, too. She had always dreamed of backpacking along the Appalachian Trail. Then she met Gavin. He wanted to make a documentary about her, so they planned a route in the Wallowa Mountains in Oregon. They climbed up a mountain and Ruth played there.

Gemma:    Joe, there’s no way I’m taking my trumpet on a hike. Do you know how much it costs?

Pete:         I’m not sure I can take all my drums.

Jamie:      My flute doesn’t weigh a lot, Pete – I’ll take one of your drums in my bag.
