New Classes this year:

To add to the junior vocal and instrumental classes, we are introducing a range of INSTRUMENTAL ENSEMBLE classes.  These are classified by school year, with the intention that groups of instrumentalists within a school year will be able to enter.  They are all open to any groups - not just schools, and of any size, limited by the capacity of the Civic Hall and its stage.  Duos, trios, quartets, quintets, up to full orchestras, bands are welcome to enter; please indicate the size of the group on the entry form, and if we perceive a possible problem, we will contact you.  In the event of an exceptionally large entry, we will accept entries in order of receipt, up to the hall's capacity.   All players should be within the age (by school year) qualification; larger ensembles may be conducted if desired, and the conductor may be of professional status if desired.   Ensembles should play their own choice of music, up to a maximum of six minutes, and a copy of the music should be provided for the adjudicator immediately before the start of the class.   Ensembles are asked to provide their own music stands.   Any combination of instruments is allowed, but performances should be entirely live, i.e. without the use of backing tracks. 

For further information, please email       

or contact the secretary, Mrs. K. Kingdom
