Summer 2026
The concert is on Sunday 5th July 2026.
Dress code is black below the waist (trousers or skirts) and white above the waist (shirts or blouses). Red scarfs for the women and red bow ties for the men will be provided. As will black folders to hold our music, if you don't already have one.
Below is a running order for the concert.
Rehearsal tracks are mp3's for individual parts. "Original Sheet Music" is as close as I can make an exact copy of what we have been provided. "Simplified Sheet Music" is my attempt to make the music easier to read (at least easier for me!). If you are happy and confident with your part, I would encourage you to ignore my sheet music, but it exists if you want it.
