An open rehearsal morning for players aged 11 to 18 (school years 7-13) interested in joining a Bristol Beacon ensemble.
On Saturday 5 July we are holding our Senior Centre Open Morning. This is your opportunity to come and experience what our Senior Ensembles are all about! Encompassing fun workshops, side-by-side playing and conducting workshops, this day is all about getting a taste of how much fun these ensembles really are.
There will be a play-through for Parents to watch at the end of the session.
