Would you like to be a Music Leader in 2023-2024?
Would you like to be a Music Leader this year? Music Leaders need to be committed to supporting the department and spreading the music love. Your jobs will involve helping recruit year 7s to our clubs, helping at school events (e.g. open days), assisting with music trips and so on.
If you would like to be considered for the role of a Music Leader you will need to complete this quick form. To be eligible, you will need to be a member of at least two music clubs. We are looking for people who are committed and tuned in. By that, we mean people who come to rehearsals really regularly, check the blog, answer their emails and generally know what’s going on. All year groups welcome. Existing Music Ambassadors will need to complete the form too.
Deadline for submission is Friday 15th September.
Any questions, please contact Mrs F

Thank you. From Mrs F
Congratulations to Brooke for being part of the NYO’s fantastic performance at this year’s BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in August. What an incredible experience!
‘The strings swayed, the double basses twirled, the woodwind and brass soloists dazzled, the audience clapped and, yes, some of them even danced.’
The Times ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
‘Fabulous Errollyn Wallen’s arrangement of “The whole world in his hands” kept the eyes teary and the goosebumps going.’
The Arts Desk ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
‘The orchestra took all this in their stride, serving precision, accuracy and a fierce sense of rhythmic drive and dynamic nuance.’
‘Throughout the entire concert the whole ensemble played with swagger and confidence but I have to say the rhythm section stole the show with great work by the timpanists and those double basses.’
‘It’s always a pleasure to hear this orchestra, packed with the leading players of the future, and there was plenty of talent on display throughout the concert.’
Watch the concert on BBC iPlayer.
