The parents/carers of students who attend one of our music clubs should have received an email about our final trip of 2023-2024. The trip is to London’s most iconic concert venue, the Royal Albert Hall to see the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s Symphonic Rock show. The show will feature classic rock anthems and hit songs by Pink Floyd, Queen, Bon Jovi, Eurythmics, Oasis, U2, Paul Weller, David Bowie, Bryan Adams, The Police, Coldplay, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, R.E.M, Stereophonics and many more. Each song will be given the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s signature symphonic twist and the concert will also feature a spectacular light show. Find out more here.
Please let me (Mrs F) know asap if you are a regular member of one of our clubs but did not receive the trip email.
The deadline for signing up and paying for this trip is Friday 23rd February (first week back after the half-term break).

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.
