A busy week coming up for Rockschools bands!
D-Fault are headlining a charity concert in aid of Leukemia and Lymphoma at the Saracen’s Head Hotel in Towcester on Saturday 12th November.
Please come and show your support for the cause and the band.
If you’re under 18 and just coming to see the band, tickets are £5, and all the money goes to the charity. If you’re over 18, tickets are £10.
D-Fault will be playing all their best songs and many known covers, from 9.30 to 10.30 and there’s a chance to get a copy of their CD too.

First Saturday back at Towcester Rockschool (Brackley started on Tuesday, our Senior Rockschool on Wednesday and our after-school Rockschools every day this last week), I still tend to refer to this period as the second half of the Autumn term for our Rockschools.
This is the time when students realise that there are only a few weeks before our end-of-term concert and, for some, only three practice sessions before their performance. After much deliberation I have decided to leave our concerts on the last two Saturdays of term rather than change to a Saturday and Sunday. Many reasons but I feel this is the best.
Looking around at our 40 plus bands on Saturday, I was really impressed with the quality and depth of music-making on show – something for the audience to look forward to at the end of term.
Full details of the concerts will be sent out in this week’s newsletter and tickets will be on sale at the tuck shop from this coming Saturday. The first concert will be held on Saturday the 26th November and the second concert on Saturday the 3rd December.

Our second Christmas Concert is being held at Nicholas Hawksmoor School on Saturday 4 December at 6.00pm. More tickets will be available on Saturday from 12.30 and each ticket is a numbered entry to the Grand Prize Draw.
This concert is again dedicated to Mark Tanton and members of his band will be collecting for Meningitis UK during the evening. Thank you to all who gave their support last week and we look forward to your support this week too.
The updated list of Bands playing on Saturday 4 December is:
- Acropolis
- Amp.ed Out
- Anonymos
- Behind Closed Doors
- Breathe Deep
- Buried In A Bass Drum
- Checkmate
- D-Fault
- Don’t Forget Your Earplugs

- Six Minute Gig
- Some Random Kids
- State The Obvious

Please note: this list is in alphabetical order and the running order will be shown in the programme.
Bands attending Rockschool at 12.30pm may go home at 3.00pm and return at 5.30pm, or if necessary may remain at Rockschool until 5.30pm. However, they may not leave the premises so will need to bring plenty of food and drink with them for the afternoon and evening. Bands attending at 3.00pm will need to remain in the school for the start of the concert. Parents and carers wishing to bring in food (i.e. McDonalds etc.) for students must do so by 5.30 at the latest as food cannot be eaten in the Hall. Bands will be able to sit in the Hall to watch others perform throughout the concert, depending on seating availability.
We look forward to seeing you at our second Christmas Concert and wish you a Happy Christmas and New Year. Next term begins on Saturday 8 January 2011.
