New England Brass Ensemble

The New England Brass Ensemble came to perform and entertain all students and staff Wednesday at Beverly Middle School. They were fabulous! They shared a brass instrument education with amazing performances which included very recognizable John Williams songs from movies like Star Wars and Harry Potter, to name a few.
