The last 16 months have been tough for all of us in perhaps different ways. To end the academic year in some style we will be holding an outdoor event, Picnic in the Park!, on Saturday 17th July in the School grounds which will open at 13.00, music starting at 14.00. Pupils, parents, and all associated with the Department are most welcome to come and enjoy some of our ensembles; bring your own food and drink and start to get back to some sense of normality.

This was an amazing event - a workshop with band members in the afternoon and an open rehearsal listening to the band whetted our appetite for the evening. BBC Big Band MD, Barry Forgie, said the NSB Big Band was the best school/college Big Band he had heard in years. A tremendous effort from everyone involved. Does anyone have Herbie Hancock's number for next year...? Photos are available to buy from the school website.
