On Friday 26th May, UVHS Swing Band and the Royal Marines Dance Band will take to The Coro stage to  stage a brilliant evening’s entertainment – get your dance shoes out!!!

7.15pm – 11.00pm

Tickets are £10 each (including pie ‘n’ peas supper) and go on sale on WEDNESDAY 5th APRIL – only available from the Music Department.

We have had to move the date of the A2 Music recitals next week to Thursday 6th April – still starting at 6.05pm in the Main Hall.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Don’t forget that our fantastic production of the comical musical, Me And My Girl, is on at The Coro this Thursday and Friday (7.30pm).  Rehearsals have been going really well and all the students are working their socks off to stage a great night’s entertainment.

Please try to get family & friends to come and support us – tickets can be bought on the door both nights (the Box Office will be open from 6.30-7.30pm).

Also, could I remind those who were at the last Friends meeting that some of you volunteered to run the raffle for us on the Thurs or Fri?

Finally – is there any parent of a Year 7-9 student who may be willing to take over as Treasurer for the ‘Friends of UVHS Performing Arts’ (as we are now to be known).  Louise Steur has put in years of brilliant service, controlling the finances and putting Mr Butler in his place, but will be standing down before Summer as Catherine completes her A2s and goes to pastures new. Please contact Mr B at school for info.

Tickets for the joint concert between UVHS Wind Band and The Royal Marines will go on pre-sale this Thursday (23rd) and Friday (24th) from the Box Office at The Coro.  On these two days, tickets can only be purchased in person (not over the phone or internet), but there is no limit to the number of tickets an individual can buy.
