When I was told that the theme for the Whitby Bell Box Murals was Whitby Heritage, I immediately thought of the Whitby Brass Band. One of my fondest memories of growing up in Whitby was attending 'Music in the Park' where families would gather to enjoy a variety of musical talents. For my piece, I wanted to capture the fun my sister and I (and many others!) would have when we would run around, dance and pretend to be conducting the amazing musicians.
