T


he Museum hosted a very different type of event on 14th July, which included perfor-


mances by county youth orchestras and bands, local primary school and adult choirs and profes- sional performers all over the site. Brooklands in Sound was an evening of entertainment that started with performances by the Surrey Advanced Brass Ensemble under Concorde and the Reigate String Orchestra in the Aircraft Park. Later performances included the Surrey County Youth Jazz Orchestra under the Members’ Bar balcony, the South West Surrey Concert Band and the Camberley Youth Wind Orchestra under Concorde and the Surrey County Percussion Ensemble in the Aircraft Park. As well as cameo performances around the site,


including on the steps of the Scoreboard and in the Racing Lock Ups, with the outside doors open to the Motoring Village, there was a sound installation by Graham Dowdell in the Aircraft


Factory, called ‘Learning to Fly’. This used material gathered as part of the Surrey in the Great War: A County Remembers project, includ- ing poetry from creative workshops held by Talia Randall across the county, archive sounds and related field recordings, amongst them our own Sopwith Camel engine. To accompany the sound installation, there was a display about the work of the Surrey in the Great War team. In the Shell Pagoda there was an opportunity to be styled as a classic motoring or aviation hero by Surrey Arts Wardrobe for a vintage-style portrait to take home. At 7.30pm all the activity stopped and the crowd congregated outside the Stratosphere


Paul Hopwood and Lianne Cole as Percy Lambert and his fiancé Marge, as well as volunteer John Rowland (Surrey Arts).
