Welcome back after half-term and we look forward to our concerts in a few weeks, on Saturday 20 and Saturday 28 March at Nicholas Hawksmoor School, Towcester. Full details will be available shortly but if you are not available on one of those dates please let Ros know this week on 07738 974220 or at rosmiles@rockschools.co.uk .
On Saturday 6 March on of our bands, TURN IT DOWN, are taking part in the final of The Y Factor in Northampton. If you would like to come and support them the venue is The Cripps Theatre, Billing Road, Northampton at 7.00pm. Tickets are available on the door at £5.00 but you are advised to get there early to be sure of getting in. The event is in support of The Lowdown, a charity for young people in difficult circumstances and is organised by the Rotary Club of Northampton Becket, www.rotarybecket.org.uk for further details.
Several students have now purchased their own mic sets and these are still available to all. We are able to offer a mic, complete with lead and stand in a carry case, for £30.00. If you would like to see a sample or place an order please see Ros any Saturday.
Videoing for this year’s Music for Youth National Festival is now complete and recorded entries are being submitted. There will, however, be more filming on Saturday 6 March of Towcester Rockschool as a whole for a forthcoming advert.
A further reminder for all students who bring any instrument or equipment that needs to be plugged in. For Health and Safety reasons we supply each room with a power breaker and one extension lead. All equipment must be run through this power breaker so each student must bring their own extension lead to attach to this. Each student’s extension lead should also be clearly named!
Full details for our Easter Concerts will be sent out next week.
