If any students cannot make a concert that a group they are in is performing at, Mr Butler MUST know asap.

Really sorry – we were meant to have a Combo rehearsal tomorrow after school. Unfortunately I also have a twilight INSET session which I had forgotten about…..

The rehearsal is now on THURSDAY after school until 4.40pm – please could ALL players do their best to be there? (Jess, Elisa, Rebecca, Hazel, Henry, Tash, Braden, Tess, Jamie, Will, Oli and Gillian)

This year’s Chamber Concert will be held on Friday 19th May in the Main Hall from 7pm-8pm. Brass & Sax Ensembles, Flute & Clarinet Choirs, String Group and the Choir will all be performing.

Please spread the word – entry is free!

Could those students who are staying throughout the second half of tonight’s show please help pack up afterwards if they are able to do so? Once the audience has started to leave I need to get all the band gear into the van as well as props etc.

Please could ALL Swing Band players ensure that they have collected their instrument from school before they leave school this afternoon and bring it themselves to The Coro (by 6.45pm at the latest) this evening? I have not taken anything down other than keyboards, drumkit, amps etc.

We are also desperate for any raffle prizes if any families can spare anything.

Thank you!!!!

For all of you involved in A Night At The Musicals (the school production taking place at The Coro this week), all the arrangements are below. Please read carefully, especially timings and lunch info on Tuesday. There are still some tickets available at A Night at the Musicals – The Coro .

Swing Band will not be rehearsing before the show and is playing at the beginning of the second half each night. Players need to be at The Coro by 6.45pm on Wed & Thu in band shirts (or black shirts) and black bottoms & shoes. Instrument cases are to go in the Ante Room, just off the foyer. If any yr13 or yr12 players are able to arrive before 6.30pm and help with the raffle and programmes either night I would be very grateful.

Finally – if anyone has any items that could be donated for the raffle we would again be very grateful – please send them to the Music Office.

A reminder that, due to the school show at The Coro this week, there is no Wind Band or Swing Band rehearsal this week. However, ALL lunchtime rehearsals are on and we need full attendance at all of them as we are planning a Chamber Concert in May for all the small groups.

Monday’s Wind Band rehearsal (27th March) will be extended until 5.15pm as (due to the final rehearsal for A Night At The Musicals) there will be no rehearsal on the first Monday back after Easter – 17th April. Also, as we will be missing 2 rehearsals in May due to bank holidays, future rehearsals will be extended to 5pm.

The next 2 Swing Band rehearsals (24th & 31st March) will be extended to 4.45pm to prepare for the school show.

Just a reminder that Jess Hartley will be performing her A Level recital in the Main Hall tomorrow at 4pm – the last email said she was playing clarinet…. that should have read alto saxophone (just shows how versatile she is!!). All are welcome.
