Rehearsal on Wed until 4.45pm – full attendance please as we have to record several numbers to help the dancers start preparing for The Dance Show on Wed 3rd July.

Please could we have a FULL rehearsal tomorrow with everybody there until 5pm? We need to run the Marines’ programme as the concert is only 2 weeks after we return following Easter. Last week’s woodwind sectional was fantastic.

Also – there are still some tickets available for the Swing & Dance Band evening with the Marines on Friday 26th April at The Coro. £10 each from Mr Butler (including pie ‘n’ peas).

For any musicians who might be interested in playing in musical theatre in the future, this is a great opportunity to work with the musicians from the recent blockbuster UK Tour.

Lion King Education | Welcome

Due to the school production of Alice next week we do not have use of the Hall – therefore there is a sectional rehearsal foe ALL flutes, oboes, clarinets, saxophones and horns in the Drama Studio from 3.30pm-4.45pm. Please ensure that everyone attends unless in the production or on the geography trip.

We need EVERYONE at tomorrow’s Swing Band rehearsal – it is the last of the term (as it is the school production of Alice next week in the hall), and then we only have 1 more rehearsal before the Marines weekend on 26th/27th March.

Swing Band shirts are now available to buy from Coniston Embroidery. All members of the band in yr12 or below need to have a shirt (it is fine to buy a larger size to grow into for younger players). It is the Supreme Poplin Short-Sleeved Shirt -there are two fits of shirt so please make sure you select the correct one: UVHS Music Department Bespoke Shop (conistonshop.com)

Due to the final rehearsal of the school show before production week, the LBB rehearsal is cancelled tomorrow.

As you all know, we are hosting the Cumbria Music Hub’s ‘Big Band Day’ this coming Saturday. However, we are disappointed with the number of UVHS instrumentalists who have so far signed up. This will be a brilliant experience as it is with one of the country’s leading saxophonists and big band leaders – Andy Scott. Any student playing any instrument beyond grade 3 standard is welcome to attend (it is £10 each) and will get a lot out of it from both a playing and composing perspective. In particular, all of our sax players & clarinettists should attend as well as those currently studying (or wishing to study) GCSE and/or A Level.

Please, please, please … if you can attend do. Sign up here: https://buff.ly/49GFjAk
