Tickets go on sale from The Coro on Monday 28th October. Please share the date and the advert below:

We are going to be combining the Brass and Sax Ensembles from now on to enable us to explore more diverse and demanding repertoire. Rehearsals will be every Tuesday lunchtime from 12.55-1.25pm in A14. ALL current members of both ensembles should attend.

The name of this group is still under debate, with BRAX and SAXY BRASS being the current front runners!!!! Heaven help us!!

Set list for Saturday at The Farmers (Lowick) – playing from 2pm-4pm in informal uniform (shirts only). Apart from the 2 students who have been to see me (for whom I have arranged a dep), I am expecting everyone to be there.

We are hoping to publish details of the 2025 concert tour next week – the Lake Garda region of Italy, from Thursday 10th July – Thursday 17th July inclusive. We are initially looking at taking the Wind Band and the Flute & String Ensemble (FLINGS), so please keep those dates in mind (the Summer Concert is likely to be on Friday 4th July)

We are hoping to keep the cost of the tour broadly in line with this year’s 5-day tour thanks to a very generous offer from a local benefactor, but should be able to confirm details next week and out a letter with a deposit request of £50.

Watch this space!!!!

Set List:

This term’s Performing Arts extra-curricular timetable is below. Lunchtime rehearsals start at 12.55pm (so students usually need to bring a packed lunch or order a grab-a-bag from the canteen); after-school activities finish at 4.30pm unless otherwise stated.

Apologies – no Swing Band rehearsal this Friday, we will start next Friday (13th Sept). Instead the Little Big band need to rehearse both tomorrow and Friday from 3.30-4.45pm in order to be ready for Saturday’s engagement at Lowick Show.
