Beaumont School Music Department

It was fantastic to receive so much interest for this concert and we were oversubscribed, which means that sadly we are unable to take everyone.  The following people below will be coming on Sunday 4th and Monday 5th November.  For those of you who did not get a place, there will be other opportunities.   We will meet at Morrison's Car park on Sunday 4th November at 11.45am .  Please note the change of time.  Eat before or bring a packed lunch.  We should be back in St Albans by 4.30pm at the latest.  Apologies for the change of times.  You may wear casual clothes. Timings for Monday 5th remain the same: we will meet at 6.45am at Morrison's car park and be back for lesson 6.  You must wear full school uniform.  6th form, please wear SMART all black - no jeans, skinny trousers or leggings.   I will bring your music unless you have taken it home to learn (which I strongly advise!).
