What do I need to Wear for Concerts?
Generally the following dress for concerts applies unless otherwise notified
For Intermediate Strings, Junior Concert Band, Steel Pan Ensemble, Junior Percussion Ensemble, Charnwood Area Centre Students are asked to wear a t-shirt provided by Leicestershire Music for performances. In addition they should wear either black trousers or skirt with black tights or black knee-high socks and black shoes. We do not, of course, expect parents to buy black trousers etc especially, so if your school uniform is e.g. dark grey, this would be acceptable.
For LSSO, Big Band, Intermediate Band & Senior Percussion Ensemble all students should wear smart all black. This is a black top, shirt or polo shirt with trousers or skirt, or a black dress and black shoes. Skirts and dresses should be an appropriate length for performing in and not too short.
Sign in / out Procedure
Sign in
On arrival at Leicestershire Music groups, students will be signed in. If a student is primary school age, we advise that they should be accompanied to their rehearsal venue by an adult. From secondary school age, students may travel independently.
If students are travelling independently on a Saturday, parents / carers are able to log into SpeedAdmin and see that their child arrived and has been signed in, should they wish. This will be updated by 1100 hrs each Saturday morning.
