EVENT TBC
It is important that your child's ensemble leader knows who is collecting them at the end of the evening, or if you authorise them to travel home alone. Please communicate these details by email.
If a parent/carer will collect the child after rehearsal, we need no other authorisation or instruction from you.
If you authorise your child to make their own way home after rehearsal, please email this statement to your child's ensemble leader: - I hereby authorise <Name of Child> to make their own way home after BMS rehearsals.
If you want to authorise another person to collect your child (including a young person aged over 10 but under 18), please email the following details:
Name of Child:
Ensemble:
Name of person collecting child:
Relationship:
Telephone Number:
Known to the child as:
If your child will be absent please let us know by email so we know not to expect them. Emailing your child’s ensemble leader is best, but on the night, you can text the centre emergency number - 07860342704 (please note the updated number)
If your child is absent and you don’t inform us, or if your child misses a number of rehearsals, they could lose their place in the ensemble or not be permitted to perform in the next concert.
We expect all children to attend and perform in concerts as musical decisions are made based on the members of the group, and balance of parts. If for any reason you know that your child will be unable to perform in the next concert, you must inform the ensemble leader in plenty of time.
All young people in BMS Ensembles must agree to abide by the code of conduct. This document was written by some of our senior ensemble members.
