November 2017 Update
Hello everybody,
We have now returned to the Methodist Church Hall after the unfortunate incident. Work to repair the building is underway and we are lucky to be able to return to our usual home. Thanks to our temporary homes (St Barbara's scout hut and Coundon Soical Club) for housing us.
We have a busy half term featuring the Tapathon, exam sessions and a Christmas concert.
Events
The annual Tapathon will be held on Sunday 19 November from 12-2pm at Coundon Social Club. Pupils and Adults are busy practising and perfecting the routine in class. Official registration is now closed but you can still join in on the day should you wish too (Voluntary donation welcome). The event is usually fun and enjoyable.
We also have IDTA and LCM exam sessions at the start of December. Pupils are busy learning their routines and songs. IDTA dance exams are on 3 December and LCM singing are provisionally booked for 11 December.
A Christmas Concert shall take place at Coundon Social Club on Saturday 16 December at 7pm. It is a chance to see singing pupils and our glee group perform examination pieces and Christmas songs to get you in the Christmas mood. Ticket price TBC and there will be a raffle for Bloodwise.
News
Ella, Lucy H, and Lauren D have all started their studies at BOA - Birmingham Ormiston Academy this month. They are all pupils on the KS4 Musical Theatre Pathway. Abbie S is also attending BOA on their Technical Theatre Course. It sounds like they are really enjoying it and there are other pupils preparing to audition in the New Year for September 2018.
Miss Jill attended an Estill Voice Training course in Cardiff during the week of half term. It was very interesting and some of what she has learnt is now being applied and introduced to singing lessons to help with the development of singing voices and vocal health.
Jess D, Ella, Lucy H and Lauren D performed in YOG's production of Happy Days last week at the Albany Theatre. Well done to all in what was a really enjoyable show.
Our Assistant Teacher, Miss Laura, Lauren D and Lucy W are in rehearsals for Jack and the Beanstalk at the Albany Theatre in January 2018 and we also have Jess D and Lucy H performing in Annie at the Belgrade Theatre in May 2018.
Well done everyone!
