Rehearsals this term – Swing & Wind Bands
This is the rehearsal schedule for the next 6 weeks running into the Dance Show (with Swing Band) on Wed 3rd July, the Summer Concert on Fri 5th July and finally the Wind & Swing Band tour. We need students to get to all rehearsals (although yr11 & yr13 are excused the next couple of weeks due to exams – this evening’s Wind Band rehearsal was sparse in several areas due to other year group students not attending and not informing me).

LBB
Little Big Band is ON tomorrow after school – got to get ready for The Old Friends gig in June!!!
Wind Band Rehearsal – tomorrow
I know it seems a bit cruel as I expect a lot of us are shattered, but there is a Wind Band rehearsal after school tomorrow and I need at least all the students going on tour to attend (as well as everyone else if possible). There is no rehearsal on Monday 6th as it is Bank Holiday and then we are in GCSE and A Level exam season so will have various yr11 and yr13 students struggling to make rehearsals for 6 weeks – once exam are finished we only have 2 scheduled rehearsals until the Summer Concert on 5th July, and then only 1 week until tour….. aaaaaaagh!!!!
Wow!!!!!!!!!!
What a concert last night!!!! What a weekend!!!
Well done to all students involved in this weekend’s concerts with the Royal Marines – I am SO proud of each and every one of our musicians! The videos of the concert are now live: the UVHS Wind Band set is here UVHS Wind Band With HM Band of Royal Marines Scotland 2024 (youtube.com) (gives the students a chance to see what the Corps of Drums was doing during the Olympic Fanfare), and the Massed Band set is here The Massed Band of UVHS and HM Band of Royal Marines Scotland 2024 (youtube.com) (including the encore of Highlights from Barbie).
