This afternoon’s rehearsal has had to be cancelled due to circumstances out of our control  –  we will be packing equipment between 9am and 10.30am this morning if anyone is able to come in and help.

See you all in the Drama Studio with all your bags at 8.30am tomorrow

Reminder – there is a rehearsal for the tour band tonight from 3.30-5pm.

Please could members of Friends of UVHS Music (and anyone else who may wish to help out) be at The Coro by 6.45pm tomorrow at the latest??  We need to be taking money on the door (2 selling points) as well as selling programmes and raffle tickets.

Thank you.

If possible, could the yr11s and yr13s in Wind Band please come into school early for the band rehearsal on Tuesday. We need to sort out all the music that was handed in last week  –  if you could come to the Drama Studio at 2pm, that would be great (I’ll provide biscuits!!).  The more people we have the quicker and easier it will be.

Also, there are a handful of you who have not been to a rehearsal in weeks – please make sure you attend!!!

We have changed the programme for the Summer Concert – it will now include Junior Band, Swing Band, Wind Band, String Orchestra and Choir in order to give a proper and fitting farewell to all the Year 13s leaving us this year.

Please publicize the concert on the 7th July as widely as possible to secure the biggest audience we can (the Summer concert always attracts a smaller audience than the others through the year, despite it showcasing the groups at their very best!).

Feel free to post it on social media!!!!!!!

REMINDER – the first rehearsal for the Tour Band is tomorrow from 3.30-5pm – full attendance is expected from all students going on the tour.

Also – the itinerary has just been changed due to issues at Zell-am-See. The concerts are now:

Sat:  St Martin @ 19:00 hrs

Sun:  St Gilgen @ 11:00 hrs

Mon:  Bad Reichenhall @ 19:30 hrs

Tues: Zell am See @ 14:00 hrs

Thank you to all the Swing Band for today’s performance at Grange (in trying conditions!). You all played (and sang) brilliantly giving a great end to the year – only sorry that we couldn’t make it a full ‘send-off’ for the Year 13s – also sorry that I missed Jodie off the ‘farewell’ list, so…..

Thank you to Ben, Ella, Dan, Catriona, John, Emily and Jodie for all their efforts this year.

A reminder that Swing Band are playing at Grange tomorrow from 2-4pm. If it is raining (as the forecast is currently indicating) the concert will move indoors to the Victoria Hall instead, so I still need everyone to attend – especially as this will be the final performance for the band this year!  Please spread the word so that we can get as good an audience as possible (free).

A huge thank you the students in the band for the amazing work they have done this year – their commitment and dedication has yet again resulted in the band playing at a phenomenal level for a school group and I am very proud to be associated with every one of them!   Especially – thank you (and goodbye) to the Year 13s in the band – Ben, Dan, Ella, John, Catriona and Emily – although we will say farewell officially at the Summer Concert.

Also – a huge thank you to the parents for their support and ‘taxi’ skills getting their children to all the gigs.

See you all tomorrow!
