Information for performers

On the day of the performance there will be a brief final rehearsal for performers as follows. After their rehearsal, pupils are encouraged to travel home and return to school in time for the concert. Should pupils need to remain at school when they are not rehearsing, they will require a packed tea and, between rehearsals, will be asked to remain in Room 88 (where pupils may complete homework or eat cold food). As the school does not employ a professional stage crew, after the performance, all performers will be asked to assist in returning the equipment used by their ensembles to the Music Department.
