Rehearsal Schedule
Rehearsals run from 7.30 - 9.30pm on Tuesday evenings during term-time.
All rehearsals take place in our regular rehearsal venue - The Studio, Camden School for Girls, Sandall Road, London, NW5 2DB - unless otherwise stated.
The hall is open by 7.15pm – please arrive in good time so we can be ready to start playing promptly.
We use Doodle polls at the start of term so Lev can plan rehearsals. If your attendance changes, please update the relevant poll: 1st Violins (A-M), 1st Violins (N-Z), 2nd Violins (A-M), 2nd Violins (N-Z), Violas, Cellos, Double Basses, Flutes & Oboes, Clarinets & Bassoons, Horns and Brass. String players should let their section leader or James know of any last minute changes to their attendance during the term; wind players should arrange a dep for any rehearsals they're missing, and let Lev know; brass players should let Lev know of changes to their attendance.
