Summer Courses are back on!

We are pleased to tell you that the summer 2011 Youth Music Courses are now taking place, under a new cooperation between Central Bedfordshire Council, Bedford Borough Council and three community groups: The Bedfordshire Music Trust, Friends of Bedfordshire Youth Music and Bedfordshire Orchestral Society.

We are very pleased that a way has been found to run these courses this summer, and hope that your continued support will help us to ensure that these wonderful performing opportunities can be secured for the future.   

We plan to run four orchestral and two band courses between 23 - 27 July.

Members of the County Youth Concert and Second Bands are invited to the Concert Band course that has been planned.

The courses can only function if sufficient students register to take part so please do book your place as soon as possible so we that we can confirm numbers. Invitation letters have been sent out today (25th May 2011) and should be with you shortly.

To reflect the difficult budget conditions we have had to introduce some changes.  Unfortunately, there will be no transport available but the courses have been organised to minimise travelling and we hope that parents/carers will organise transport between themselves. To help car sharing arrangements the Friends of Bedfordshire Youth Music hope to facilitate a car sharing information scheme through their web site: www.fbym.org.uk. Information can be found by following the links on their home page and using the password supplied in your course invite to enter a secure area.
