Player sign up timescales and information
Due to a number of 'no-show' incidents in recent concerts which has been stressful and potentially avoidable, below sets out how the process to form the orchestra will proceed. Please make sure that 'chairman@charityso.org.uk' is not blocked by your email client.
Mail to all members (signed up to MailChimp distribution list) will be sent the signup form and invitation in early October.
We will review each form including in particular when you indicated you last played with us and this, for fairness is taken into consideration especially if your selected instrument is popular.
There will be a group email sent within 1 month - no later than the end of November (hopefully sooner) to confirm space to play.
This will be followed up with reminders and further information at the beginning of December and towards New Year.
If at any time you become unavailable, please, contact us as soon as possible so we can find a replacement.
Once a full compliment is achieved a seating plan will be developed and this will be issued and uploaded to the website by early December
We look forward to working with you soon.
