Tomorrow’s Rehearsals

Tomorrow’s Wind Band rehearsal after school has been cancelled due to both ill health and yr11 Prom.  However, the additional Flings and choir rehearsals WILL be on at lunchtime – if yr13s could get in for those that would be great (obviously yr11s may not be able to).

Looking forward to the concert on Thursday!!!!

LBB – last night

Well done to all the players in Little Big Band last night – although we all got drenched just before the end I thought it was a great gig. If any parents/friends have got any decent photos and/or videos please could you send them to me (rbu@uvhs.uk or on the FB page)?

The Old Friends – tonight

OK – forecasts are still mixed depending where we look, so…. we re going to try and go ahead (especially as we’ve had quite a few cancelled gigs and difficult weather gigs as well). However, it may well be that we end up not starting OR having to stop early – or it might be absolutely fine.

Please could band members get there before 7pm to help set up and keep everything as dry as possible if it is raining.

Little Big Band – tonight’s gig

We are currently monitoring several different weather forecast sites hoping that most are lying about the anticipated rainfall in Ulverston. The Old Friends are putting up their big gazebo this morning so there will be cover for us, the equipment and music. If there are any changes I will notify parents/students here.

Tomorrow – Little Big Band

Mrs Butler has just prepped the food for the band tomorrow (BBQ – steak burgers + extras, hot dogs + extras, BBQ drummers, corn on the cob, cakes)… and there is LOADS!!! Far more than the band can consume (even with the gannets in the band!!), so we will be offering the leftover food to everyone in attendance as well … for a small donation (please bring some change).
