SURREY PRIMARY SCHOOLS MUSIC FESTIVAL AT DORKING HALLS
Dear Year 4 parents and carers,
We are delighted to announce that Year 4 has been allocated a place at the Surrey Primary Schools Music Festival at Dorking Halls, Reigate Road, Dorking, RH4 1SG on the evening of Tuesday 24th February - the second day back after the Spring half term holiday. This is one of a series of concerts where schools from all over the county join together to perform - so we will be on stage with hundreds of other children!
In the past, we have taken just the choir to take part in this event, but this year, we intend to take the whole of Year 4, in order to give all the children the opportunity to perform on a real stage.
We will provide further details before the Spring half term holiday but we wanted to make sure you have the date booked to make sure that your child is available to perform.
The day will involve the children leaving school during the afternoon to rehearse at Dorking Halls, then eat a packed tea, and then perform. The concert will start at 6:30pm and finish by around 8pm. All children should be collected by parents or carers after the concert.
The programme, on the theme of folk songs from around the world, involves 10 songs. The children had an introductory online session this week with the conductor.
The lyrics and backing tracks are accessible via the following link so your child can practise the songs and learn the lyrics at home: it will all need to be from memory at the concert! Please do not share these login details with anyone else.
