Swing Band are performing at The Coro on Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th April (7pm start) as part of our school show, A Night At The Musicals. It promises to be a fantastic show covering a wide range of musicals, old and new, that have graced Broadway and the West End. Swing Band will be opening the second half.

Letters will be out on Friday for players, but please come along to support the show as well as promoting it with friends, family & colleagues. Tickets are available through The Coro here: A Night at the Musicals – The Coro .

We will be staging a public A Level recital next Thursday featuring Jess Hartley on clarinet. This will also be a recorded performance for the exam board. Everyone and anyone is welcome to attend – it will start just after 4pm and will last approximately 15 minutes (unless we need to re-record it).

I thoroughly recommend and yr12 Music students and potential A Level students to attend (so that they know what to expect).

If anyone has any good photos of either the Friday and/or Saturday night’s performances with the Marines, please could you email them to me at rbu@uvhs.uk?

Many thanks.

Really recommend students getting along to this at The Coro if possible. National Youth Jazz Orchestra playing Dizzy Gillespie:

Fantastic opportunity for students in yrs7-11:

Just a reminder that there will be no Wind Band rehearsal tomorrow due to the Primary Dance Platform this week in the main hall. Likewise, there will be no Swing Band on Friday.

All lunchtime rehearsals and after-school show rehearsals are on as usual (Clarinet Choir & Sax Ensemble are GCSE recording sessions, Choir on Friday is just for yr11 singers and invited others).

Last minute reminder to those going down to Portsmouth on Monday morning – please make sure that school has been officially informed that you will be on work experience from mon-thurs (as this is not official school-organised work experience.

The school’s online form is here: Extended Leave of Absence Form (office.com)
