Music at The Towers

PARENTS' NOTICE BOARD

OKAY EVERYONE-HERE”S A NEW TWIST

We have just learned that actually we can seat 110 people legally in our room. Someone was misinformed (including us!) Anyway before you get too far with your invitations for 7:30 pm. Let’s just put a hold on the TWO concert idea.

As yet we haven’t mentioned this revelation to our Management staff.

There are still only 47 working chairs, so we would have to find a way to add 60 more in order to have 2 guests per person at the concert. Please do feel free to make your comments to Claudia about all this. We have heard from a few people about their unhappiness with TWO concerts.

 4 pm rehearsal for all students

Parent Teacher Discussions: In the next TWO weeks, appointment times to be planned ahead during private lesson time for Intermediates and Advanced, please share thoughts re: child's progress, your suggestions etc.
