An Important Message to Ensemble Members

The announcement below was sent to all students who participate in Co-Curricular Music at MLC School. We understand students have a large range of activities to balance whilst maintaining academic standards. That said, if all students missed rehearsals due to exam weeks, we would rarely have full rehearsals.

Your support in encouraging the girls to attend rehearsals through exam periods is very much appreciated.

Dear MLC School Ensemble Members

We are very excited about the opportunity to return to the stage in 2021. I think we all agree that the missed opportunities of 2020 ensures that our performances this year are all the more special. For us to fully enjoy our first experience on stage in such a long time, preparation is essential. I don’t think anyone wants to present anything less than an amazing show!

With that in mind, it is disappointing that recently several students have been absent from ensemble and choir rehearsals due to exams. We are always willing to listen to special circumstances and please, if you are feeling overwhelmed, come and have that conversation; you will get a sympathetic hearing. We do, however, assume that students will attend rehearsals throughout exam weeks. Assessment schedules are posted well in advance to ensure time to prepare for exams. Also, please try to book medical or other appointments outside rehearsal times.

Wonderful performances do not happen by accident. They are the result of a little inspiration and lots of hard work. We greatly appreciate the efforts of every student and look forward to a great year in 2021″.
