09/12/09, Christmas Extravaganza

A huge thanks and a well done to everyone who played in the Christmas Extravaganza yesterday evening - it was a great way to end another amazing term of Blowsoccy goodness. What's more, we raised an impressive £484.55 for our chosen charity When You Wish Upon A Star!

Have a great Christmas!
The Blowsoc Committee 09/10.

 


22/11/09, National Concert Band Festival

Following a painfully early start and a disconsertingly boat-like bus journey to Northampton, Wind Orchestra achieved a gold award at the National Concert Band Festival. This great result means that they may be asked to perform at the Festival's Final early next year. Congratulations to everyone involved!

 


20/11/09, Blowsoc-Mussoc Football

After a dissapointing result last season, Blowsoc stepped their game up and walked all over mussoc with a 7-1 victory on the astro turf. This puts Blowsoc 1-0 up this season - just one game away from reclaiming the famous foil trophy! A special mention to Joe Matthews for an impressive 4 goals! Check out the facebook group for more.

 


10/11/09, Monster Wind Band Announced

Rehearsals will be on Fridays starting on the 20th November from 4:30-6pm in the Muisc Department Rehearsal Hall.

12/06/09, Blowsoc-Mussoc Football

At 1-1, the third and final match in this year's series was to decide the championship and who got to take home the famous foil-clad trophy. Unfortunately, despite a valient effort on the part of the Blowsoc squad, the victory fell to Mussoc, who produced a glut of second-half goals to end the match 4-1. The trophy will be presented at the ball on Sunday 14th June.

 


27/04/09, Blowsoc AGM

The AGM was held on Monday 27th April in the Venue. The agenda can be downloaded here. As well as electing a new committee (see the committee section), several big changes were voted in:

  • Ensemble managers are now elected by their ensembles, and so are no longer on exec committee. Instead they are now represented by an Ensembles Co-ordinator.
  • The position of Librarian has also been created to organise Blowsoc's non-monetary assets (such as music and equipment).
  • Wind Orchestra will now reaudition all members every year to make sure everyone gets an equal chance to join.

 


22/04/09, Blowsoc EGM

On Wednesday 22nd April, an EGM was held to decide the future of Wind Orchestra. Members were given the chance to vote whether to hand Wind Orchestra over to Lakeside, or to keep it in Blowsoc and forgo the funding Lakeside provides to pay for a professional conductor.

The almost unanimous decision was to keep Wind Orchestra in Blowsoc. The details of this new arrangement will be voted on at the AGM on Monday 27th. Click here for the agenda.
