Apparently, the long-awaited DVDs of the Wind Band concert in Monnickendam, which was broadcast live in Holland, will be here very soon.  Attached is the artwork for the sleeve.

Broughton Swing Band Concert

Details on this poster

Many thanks to all of you who made cakes and/or donated raffle & tombola items for the coffee morning on Saturday.  An especially big thank you to those of you who volunteered to help throughout the morning.  We made just over £400 which is a great return considering that Saturdays are quieter than Thursdays for the  Coro Hall mornings.

Please check the calendar for up-coming events.

A reminder that we need cakes, raffle & tombola prizes and items for a bric-a-brac stall  –  either to my office tomorrow or at the Coro by 9am.

There will be live music from several groups and any students coming to help must be in Wind Band uniform or school uniform.

Most importantly, we need customers!!! Please try to persuade friends, colleague relatives to come along – £1 entry to get coffee and a biscuit.

The attached letter went out to Wind Band this evening (after a very good rehearsal with some excellent sight-reading of ‘Eloise’).  It will go out to Junior Band, Choir, Swing Band and Strings at their rehearsals over the next few days.

coffee morning letter

A reminder that Wind Band is cancelled tomorrow after school due to the Year 12 mock exams taking place in the hall all week.  Rehearsals will resume next Tuesday (27th Jan).

Also  –  letters will be going out from Friday onwards about our COFFEE MORNING  at the Coro on Saturday 14th Feb.  We will need cakes to sell (could be Valentine-themed), items for the bric-a-brac stall, tombola and raffle as well as volunteers to help on the day from 8.30am until 11.30am (or any time in between).  Some students will be performing background music during the morning as well.

Unfortunately I am absent from school today, therefore Swing Band rehearsal is cancelled. Please check the calendar on the blog site for upcoming engagements.

There will be a ‘Friends’ meeting next Tuesday (13th) at 6.30pm in the staffroom at school.  We will, among other things, be reviewing the CHristmas Festival and planning the coffee morning that we have on Sat 14th Feb at The Coro.  All are welcome

Tomorrow’s Wind Band rehearsal is cancelled (as it is the first day back and about 1/3rd of the band will probably forget anyway!!).  Could I just say how very proud I was of all the performers at the Christmas Festival last month – I have received countless messages from members of the community congratulating all the students.

Don’t forget  –  we have a coffee morning at The Coro on Valentine’s Day!!!
