ARVID LORIMER
When I was nine years old I tried a bunch of instruments to decide what I wanted to play. I tried the trumpet – no sound, the oboe – no sound and a headache, the violin - no comments, but the tuba! I had to climb a chair with two telephone catalogues on, just to reach the mouthpiece. Then I started to blow, BROUUÖÖM!!!! My head vibrated and I nearly fainted, I was hooked.
"Throughout his years here Arvid Lorimer has been positive and more than often responded to challenges with a smile."
