Parents of children performing are invited in to school to watch the music assemblies. We now hold our weekly Music Assemblies at the end of the day on Tuesday so giving a precise start time is difficult to say as it will depend on the number of performers. I anticipate around 2.45pm and I will confirm the time in the newsletter the Friday before.

I will hold 'auditions' in the class lessons - please see dates above. As there are often so many children who would like to take part, I have to restrict performances to 1 minute maximum. Please could you ensure your child's performance fits within this time. If they are singing pop songs, they will need to be able to provide me with the YouTube backing track (no vocals) and the start and finish times of the selection they are singing. I can advise if they need help choosing the 1 minute section if they come to me in advance of the class auditions.

For new Year 3 parents, the purpose of this assembly is to showcase musical achievement of children who have lessons on instruments/voice outside of school. If your child is selected to perform, you will be able to come and watch them at the Tuesday afternoon performance. At present, as I don't know how many performers there will be, I can only give a rough indication of the start time but it will be around 2.45pm.  Whilst the term 'audition' sounds a little formal, I do need to ensure that the children are proficient and ready to perform in front of a big audience. Please could I ask that the pieces chosen are no longer than 1 minute. I am afraid I am unable to accompany children as I don't have the time to rehearse with them, but there are many backing tracks available online. Please select the appropriate one and email me (through the office) the link prior to their 'audition' date so I can get these ready in advance.

If you have any further questions about this event, please feel free to email. Mrs Johnstone
