Uniform

Black tee shirts, black trousers, black socks and shoes. I would suggest people travel in their uniform as changing is limited. Please bring coats/warm over clothes.

Food

Please bring a packed lunch and drinks for the day. It is likely a snack bar will be available but I cannot be sure about this. A small sum of money would be appropriate.

Games/mobiles etc

Please note that NO member of the band is to leave the school under any circumstances.
