Important Notice - John Fletcher Rehearsal Files
Rehearsal files for most of the pieces we will ever do can be found on the excellent John Fletcher site. You can access some of the pre-20thC pieces for free by simply registering with that site. But many later pieces require a subscription. This is £11/year for an individual, or £16.50 for a group membership for 2 people. I suggest you all make that investment in yourselves to give you access to pretty much everyting we are likely to do in the future.
Help for the June 1st Summer Concert in the Yarm School PAA
More to come but here for starters is a good recording of the Battle Hymn of the Republic
