September Newsletter – Rockschools Open Day and Registration

Welcome back to a new Rockschools Year

Open Day on Saturday 12th September

from 12.30 pm to 5.30 pm

at Nicholas Hawksmoor School, Towcester

We look forward to seeing you all again at our Open Day where you can meet up with friends, listen to our top bands play and register for the new Rockschool year.

We will have Rockhopper Recording Studio with us for the afternoon and they will be offering to record bands for £20 per song as well as giving you the opportunity to see inside their Recording Studio which is in a Vintage Airstream Caravan. Details of their facilities can be seen on www.rockhopper-studios.co.uk .

We also have special offers on a wide range of equipment from Phoenix Soundworks, who are giving registered Rockschool students a 10% discount on all items. Details of their stock can be seen on www.phoenixsoundworks.com .

The Parents and Friends Association will be providing plenty of food and drink for the day but do bring your own wine and beer to enjoy if you would like to.

Bands will be playing outside if the weather is fine, or inside in the school hall if need be. All students who have individual guitar, drum, piano and singing tuition are invited to come and listen to our Rockschools bands and then register to join a band themselves if not already in one.

Registration for this Rockschools year will be for both Rockschool sessions and individual tuition; all students will need to have a new registration form signed by a parent/carer for this year. Forms will be available on the day or can be downloaded from the website www.rockschools.co.uk. Fees will also be due on the day.

We will also have a supply of our Rockschools T-shirts, black with white Rockschools logo, for sale on the day, and further orders can be taken if required.

Due to health and safety requirements all electrical equipment brought to and/or used at Rockschools must be PAT tested. We are therefore providing a free PAT test for all students’ equipment during the Open Day; this service will be available between 1.00pm and 3.00 pm. Would all band members who take a PA home bring them back to Rockschool by 1.00pm as we need to check them over and PAT test them.

For any more information or if you have any queries regarding our Open Day please contact Ros Miles on 07738 974220 or rosmiles@rockschools.co.uk.

A reminder too of our Parents and Friends Association AGM on 26th September, please come and support the invaluable work the PFA committee does for Rockschools. Do contact Tim Rose, Chair, for further information or with offers of help, on 01327 358716.

Once again, we look forward to seeing you all on Saturday 12th September
