Rehearsals

HSO

  • Music: we supply all the music you'll need, usually at the first rehearsal

  • String players can download bowed copies of string parts to practice at home

  • There's always so much to learn that we need our members to commit to all our rehearsals

  • If you really can't make a rehearsal, please let us know and make sure your desk partner has the music

  • We usually have at least one sectional rehearsal each term, which is also at Millais Secondary School

  • Rehearsals take place on Wednesday evenings, 19:30 - 21:30

H2O

  • Music: we ask players to print their own music, but if this is an issue just get in touch and we'll sort out printing it for you

  • We encourage you to attend weekly to get the most out of the experience and improve your skills! But don't worry if you're not able to attend every week.

  • Rehearsals take place on Tuesday evenings, 19:30 - 21:30

What should I bring to rehearsals?

  • Your music - see above about where to get music

  • Your instrument!

  • Your own music stand

  • A pencil and a rubber

  • A desk light if you find general lighting sometimes an issue for reading music

  • A mug and 50p donation to the orchestra coffers for a hot beverage and a biscuity treat at half-time. If you forget your donation, you can still have refreshments, just pop a bit more money in the tin the following week.
