Sorry for the additional post, but it has become clear from talking to a couple of students that letters have not been read and/or not gone home. Attached is the letter regarding arrangements for the Christmas Festival that was given out to ALL members of the wind band, junior band and choir during the week beginning 1st December.
A reminder that tomorrow (Saturday) is our music day at Booths. Instrumentalists are to wear Wind Band uniform, everyone else Christmas jumpers!
Please be ready 5 mins before the allotted time.
10am Sax Ensemble
10.40am Choir
11.20am Clarinet Choir
11.50am Flute Choir
12.20pm Sax
1pm Choir
1.40pm Flutes
2.10pm Clarinets
2.40pm Sax
3.20pm Choir
On the letter about the arrangements for the Christmas Festival that went out to Wind Band on Tuesday – and will also go to Junior Band tomorrow and Choir on Friday – I forgot to mention that Year 7 participants will still be able to go on their theatre trip: they will be dropped off at The Coro by the buses on the way back from Lancaster and join the rehearsal from that point.
Also – new members of the band will need to either buy a shirt from me (£10 each) in the music office OR borrow one from a current band member.
Apologies for the typo last week – the Friends of UVHS Music meeting is on TUESDAY 2nd (not Monday) at 6.30pm in the staffroom.
Many apologies, but I will have to postpone tomorrow evening’s ‘Friends of UVHS Meeting’ due to family ill health. The meeting will now take place NEXT Monday (Dec 2nd) at 6.30pm in the school staffroom.
We need to discuss the Christmas Festival – planning the staffing of the raffle, programme sales and, hopefully, CD sales – as well as fundraising for the Austria tour in 2016.
There will be a friends meeting next Tuesday (25th) at 6.30pm in the staff-room. All parents are welcome to attend – we need to find new avenues of fundraising in order to support the development of music within the school, as well as to subsidize the 2016 tour to Austria.
ALSO – please check all the dates on the calendar attached to this blog
A reminder that, due to the school production of ‘Oh What A Lovely War!’ next week, there will be no Swing Band rehearsal this Friday (7th Nov) and no Wind Band rehearsal on Tuesday (11th). Tickets are still available for the show on 11th & 12th Nov from The Coro Box Office.
Tickets for the Christmas festival on Tues 16th Dec are going fast.
DON’T FORGET – Austria Tour 2014 slips & deposits are due in by next Friday
The Harry King Radio Show has just started on Radio Cumbria and is on until 6pm. He will be airing 2 features – one on ‘Oh What A Lovely War!’ and one on the Music Department.
Letters go out today in the wind band rehearsal for our next tour – Austria in July 2016 (based near Salzburg). Please check that it has got home tonight!
Tickets for the 2014 UVHS Christmas Festival (Tuesday 16th Dec.) will go on sale to the general public on Saturday 1st November priced at £7.50 balcony and £7 stalls (£3.50 & £3 for children respectively). Tickets are only available from The Coro Box Office.
However, as with last year, they will go on advance sale to parents and friends of UVHS performers on Thursday 30th and Friday 31st October – in order to obtain tickets on these two days you must quote ‘FEST 14’ as the code.
