Do you play an instrument at Grade 5 or above?  Do you wish there was a friendly orchestra you could join to enjoy the experience of playing with others?  Maybe you’re a singer and you’re longing to sing in a group but don’t want to have to jump through so many hoops of auditions to do so?  Or maybe you know a younger person who wants to sing with others.

Stand Sure Orchestra & Choirs could have the answer for you!  Starting on Sunday, January 7, 11am to 1pm at Hatherleigh Community Centre, and the choirs starting on Thursday 11 (5pm - 6.30pm (primary age), 6:30- 8pm (secondary age), 8-10pm (adults 16+), this vibrant new orchestra and choirs are welcoming people who have answered yes to any of the previous questions.  No experience in playing with an orchestra is necessary – just an enthusiasm and passion for music.

The terms run in line with the school terms and there is a break at half term.  The first term is going to be spent working Hits From The Musicals.  There is a termly fee to pay (working out less than a cup of coffee and a slice of cake each week), which goes towards the music and venue hire. An invigorating program has been planned and booked for the forthcoming year including a The Beatles, a Halloween Spooktacular! and a Christmas Crackers concert.  All the music will be contemporary (or given a contemporary twist) So whatever instrument you play be a traditional orchestra instrument, a rock instrument, or anything else for that matter, or if you enjoy singing, do come along for what promises to be a truly rewarding experience where you can unleash your sound and create your harmony!
