Ver. 1 – MSO Rehearsal Schedule for Concert on

Saturday 3^rd July 2010 @ 19:45.

This rehearsal schedule may be subject to change. These changes will most likely be due to the availability of extras and soloists for rehearsals, peoples work commitments and, of course, our own progress through the rehearsal of the pieces. If any changes are needed, then I (RJ) will publish a revised schedule and these changes (and a new version number) will be shown in Red (indicating the changes over the previous version). If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate contacting me (RJ). Please ensure that you have the most current version of the schedule (version number shown above). Additionally, on any particular evening, it may occasionally be necessary to rehearse a piece not scheduled for that evening. The decision to do this will be made during the course of that evenings’ rehearsal. Please be flexible. Thanks. RJ.

All rehearsals (unless otherwise stated) will be held at:- Amersham School, Stanley Hill, Amersham, Bucks. HP7 9HH. 01494 726562. Link to map
