Missing trumpet & rehearsals
Dear All,
A Yamaha trumpet went missing from the store-room yesterday afternoon between lunchtime and Wind Band. It is in a modern black Yamaha case with red trim on the front (just like the alto sax cases, and the same size). If your child is a trumpeter or alto sax player please check their cases to see if they may have taken the wrong instrument home – we have a very worried student (and parents).
On this note, please could everyone either tag their own cases or put an identification note inside so that we always know which instrument belongs to which student – a lot of cases are the same!!
Also … due to delays in delivery, the scheduled pre-audition ‘HAIRSPRAY!’ rehearsal tomorrow is postponed until next Wednesday. Instead there will be a Percussion Ensemble rehearsal at lunchtime and and the usual Chamber Choir rehearsal at 1.25pm
OPEN EVENING (Thursday) – Senior Flute Choir & Sax Ensemble are playing from 5.50pm-6.40pm and Percussion Ensemble from 6.40pm-7.30pm. All students in Wind Band uniform please (pink shirts, black bottoms & shoes).
