Open Day
A big thank you to Jazz Band and our Music Leaders for being so fab at Open Day last weekend.
MusicFest in is the first week back after the half term holiday!
If you are performing…
- You will be emailed in the week of MusicFest with a draft programme
- You do NOT need to wear school uniform – you can wear whatever you like as long as it’s suitable for a performance at school.
- Be in the audience being a lovely supportive audience member for other performers
- At the end, take a bow and SMILE to acknowledge your applause
If you are a Music Leader…
- Please speak to Miss Werry to find out when you need to arrive and what you will need to do.
- We need people to be on the door and run the refreshments
If you would like to volunteer to be on the Tech Team…
- Please speak to Mr Brett to find out more.
- During MusicFest itself you need to be proactive at the front of the hall as well as at the back, helping people with mics and mic stands – whatever each performer needs
If you are coming to be in the audience…
- Remember good audience etiquette, and be aware that you need to respond in different ways to different types of music – you may be clapping or joining in if a performer invites you to, but for some pieces (especially classical ones, or very soft ones) you might need to be completely silent and completely still.
- No moving about during items
