Dear all, I hope you are having a lovely weekend. As promised I have written the order of the concert down below- we have had to just swap a few things round. Please arrange your music in this order before the day in black folders. Concert dress - is black with a hint / splash of colour eg a colourful tie, jacket, scarf. Please bare in mind that the carnival is on on Saturday. Castle Street between the entrances to Tangier and Castle Street car parks and Tangier Way down to the junction with Wood Street will be closed to traffic from 2.00pm to allow all the entries to assemble and get ready for the evening’s show. Access to Tesco and Lidl will not be affected. Enfield car park will be closed all day. Amy has created a wonderful narrative and will be guiding us through the concert on the day. I wanted to thank everyone for their help and participation with this concert it is very much appreciated.
