[Allstaff] YMS Festival

[Roy Golding]

Hi all,


Just to keep you posted, the letter to hand out to performers will be ready
in the next couple of days. I will leave a pile of them behind the counter.
This will explain about rehearsals, the show and purchasing tickets. Could
you make sure your pupils know which show they are in. I have put up all
the stage/pupil sheets in the room next to the store cupboard. Could you
fill in the names of your pupils, which instrument and which show.

Please could you also make sure any of your pupils under 16 have filled in
a parental permission form. If we don’t have their details and they are not
signed by a parent then they can’t be in the show. These forms are also
behind the counter.

Could you also please make sure that you only take a copy of the chord
sheets in the folder behind the counter and don’t take the originals. Who
ever took the only copy of Johnny B Goode could you replace it please.

Finally can you just double check and make sure all the songs you have
chosen/been allocated have been filled. Obviously I would love to have
different performers for each show but seeing as it’s only a few weeks to
rehearsals now, if there are any gaps could you ask pupils playing if they
would be happy to cover any other shows which haven’t been filled. Under
16’s can only perform in 2 shows. I started preparing the show in May which
is when the songs were first chosen and allocated so was hoping that pupils
wouldn’t have to be involved in more than one show, however I do understand
that pupils leave/change their minds etc...

The YMS Festival 2 years ago was a great success. Comments from parents,
pupils and teachers were amazing! I know teachers gained pupils from the
event. It’s also an amazing experience for your pupils to be involved in
playing/singing in a live band. That’s why they are learning. I’m sure this
year the YMS Festival will be just as amazing!

Thank you for all your help. It really is appreciated.

Roy
