College Music students are busily rehearsing to prepare for the annual Music Eisteddfod! Held on Sunday, 4 and Monday, 5 August, the Eisteddfod brings together Primary and Secondary students in a huge day of music-making in competition for House Points towards the Music Shield.

Please see below for a schedule for the day (subject to change). Please contact instrumental tutors or the Music Office with any queries. Accompaniment is available for all students, with rehearsal times available throughout Week 3. Sign-ups for rehearsal times are available in the Music Office.
