Information for members of the orchestra


If you know you are going to miss a rehearsal or a concert, perhaps because of a planned holiday or work commitment, please give us as much advance notice as possible so that we can plan rehearsal schedules and, if necessary, book extra players. You can do this by contacting your Members' Rep, Rachel (trumpet) in person or by using the absence form on our main website (see link at the foot of this page).
