Rehearsals for Special Groups
There are four major sets of rehearsals that you need to be aware of if you are a member of a Special Group.
Weekly Rehearsals
Each of the Special Groups will hold a short series of rehearsals largely prior to the Holiday Course. These will almost certainly be held on weekend days and attendance is compulsory - although you may be able to miss one rehearsal by special prior arrangement with the Manager of the Special Group. The dates for the rehearsals of each of the Special Groups can be found by clicking on the appropriate link for the group below.

This a compulsory 3-day course which is held on the first three days of the first week of the Spring Holidays (end of Term 3).
  Dates: 27th, 28th & 29th September, starting at 9.00am. The finishing time depends on which Special Group you are in. More info...
  We require the assistance of teachers or of parents of children attending the Holiday Course to help supervise the children during their two 30-minute breaks on each day of the course. More info...
