Last Night of the Proms - OH SINGERS WELCOME

At 8pm in Big School, Haileybury. This event is open to OH singers! Please contact Ryan Hepburn (Director of Music) r.hepburn@haileybury.com or the Haileybury Society hailsoc@haileybury.com if you would like to join the choral forces for the day.  Rehearsals for choral forces will run between 5 and 6pm on the day, with an evening rehearsal the week before. Keep an eye on the Haileybury website (www.haileybury.com) for details.

Bring a deckchair, bring a rug, bring a picnic! For one night only, we will turn Big School into the Royal Albert Hall for a good old English knees-up, with music commonly featured in the BBC Proms. Come and sing loudly in all the favourites (I Vow to Thee, Jerusalem) and sit back while pupil and visiting musicians serenade you with American works to lift the spirit, raise a smile and set your toes tapping. We will be dispensing with the traditional concert-hall set up, so do bring those deck chairs and blankets, and help us send the academic year into the sunset with a riotous musical blast.
