*Before the Rockschool*

I would recommend that guitar players change their strings and bring their plectrums and a guitar strap.

If guitarists could also bring their amps and cables, they can be stored at the space and taken with the students on Thursday ahead of the performance.

Recommended strings: Ernie Ball Slinkys 9-42 (Pink Packet). Chris from The Guitar Depot in Bangor has these in stock. Any issues with this, I can help; please let me know.

Drummers, please bring the sticks that you feel comfortable with. Anything else you’re more than welcome to bring.

All students are to bring a packed lunch. I will provide lunch on the Friday ahead of the performance.

I look forward to working with all your young musicians this Easter.
