Sheffield Music HubTour 2018

Leipzig, Germany

Wednesday 22nd August – Tuesday 28thAugust2018

Dear parents/carers,

You should by now have received an email requesting the final tour payment, which is due by Friday 25th May.

There are a number of extra rehearsals scheduled to bridge the gap between the end of our ensembles calendar and the Leipzig tour. For any musicians currently playing only with Senior Flutes, Senior Bassoons or Alley Cats, it is essential they attend the additional Festival Band rehearsals listed below, to prepare the repertoire for the tour. Likewise, any musicians currently playing only with Festival Band are strongly encouraged to join Senior Flutes and Alley Cats in the run up to the tour to experienceadditional performance opportunities whilst in Leipzig.

A more detailed kit list will follow, but in case you need to source different garments in advance of the tour the concert dress code will be:

Boys

  • Long sleeved white shirt with collar
  • Smart black trousers
  • Smart black shoes (no trainers)
  • Black socks

Girls

  • White blouse (covering shoulders else not permitted to perform)
  • Long black skirt/trousers (with black socks/tights if skirt not floor length)
  • Sensible black shoes

I will be at the downstairs registration desk of each music group rehearsal the second week after half term to take a copy of each child’s passport and EHIC card, and collect completed medical forms as they arrive at All Saints for rehearsal.

There will also be a parent and carer information session at the end of the rehearsal at Stadia Technology Park at 8:30pm on Tuesday 3rd July (see overleaf).
