Shropshire Sings

Our Shropshire Sings after school club members will be performing at this year’s “Shropshire Sings”, an annual music event organised by Shropshire Music Service, on Monday 10^th June at the West Midlands Show Ground.

We will be going to the showground by coach, leaving school around 2.30pm on the day of the event, in order to attend the afternoon rehearsal. As the children will be on site from 3.00pm until the end of the concert they will need to bring a packed tea with them to eat prior to the concert start time of 6:30pm. If your child is entitled to free school meals and you would like us to provide them with a packed tea, please inform the School Office prior to the date of the event. Once the concert is over, participants will need to be taken home from the venue by their parent/carer as we will not be returning to school.

The showground will open at 5.30pm for the audience, with the concert starting at 6.30pm with a running time of approx. 1 hour. Please bring your own chairs, picnics and possibly an umbrella (for sheltering from inclement weather or sunshine!).

Tickets will be available to purchase on the gate on the day of the event. However, they will be more expensive so we would encourage you to purchase them in advance (it will also help speed up arrivals on the day of the event). Ticket prices are:

Tickets can be purchased via your child’s Arbor account up until midnight Thursday 23^rd May, after which you will need to purchase them on the gate at the concert at the non-discounted price.

The children have been learning songs and practising hard – it would be lovely if you could make it to the evening performance to see the result of their hard work.

Yours sincerely,
