• Application Form Contact Keith Rowland

More Information

We plan to hold the first meeting of the next Bell Orchestra, on Saturday, 13th November 2010 at St George’s Church in Tolworth. This meeting will take the form of rehearsal/audition and will start promptly at 10.30am (to 4.30pm). You will receive music in good time to prepare for this day.

As before, there will be multiple sets of bells provided and each ringer will be allocated a specific place to ring, but should be flexible if asked to move places. Staff notation will be used and the music will be available before the next rehearsal in January 2011.

The rehearsal dates are as follows: 22nd January 2011, 19th February 2011, 12th March 2011, 26th March 2011, 9th April 2011, 30th April 2011.

Each session will start promptly at 10.30am (to 4.30pm) and the cost for each of the rehearsals, will be £5.00 per person to cover hall rental and liquid refreshments. Ringers are expected to buy the music for the selected pieces, but previous participants will already have some of the selections.

The planned concert date is 7th May 2011. This will be held at the Harlequin Theatre, Redhill, as usual.

If you wish to be considered, please complete the application form below and return to me. Be encouraged by the success of several first-timers in this year’s event.

Thank you Keith Rowland
