Band Information

Information will be available to members and parents via the Members Pages on this website. Printed copies of the Band Newsletter may also be available from time to time.

Meetings

If there are any dates in advance that you cannot make then please let us know and we can make a note in the register. It helps us to plan the meetings if we know in advance who is and who is not going to be there. It also enables us to fulfil our safeguarding responsibilities. We would remind you that members are expected to attend meetings regularly.

During Rehearsals

Please keep any comments to a minimum so that the flow of the rehearsal is uninterrupted. Please follow the directions given by whoever is leading the session and it is important that everyone concentrates.

Progress

If you would like a meeting to discuss the progress of your child please let us know.

Problems

If you have a problem or query relating to the Band please discuss it with the appropriate member of the Management Team. We will attempt to resolve the matter. In line with Safeguarding Best Practice, Social Media is not appropriate for this.

Messaging

In common with other youth organisations adult members should not communicate with youth members (under 18) via SMS text or Facebook private messaging. The Band will not normally communicate with members in this way.
