The next BVB rehearsal led by Laurel will be on Sunday 7 March.

Look out for an email with the link nearer the time.

Hope you’ve all been enjoying practicing Opera Hat ready for our next BVB compilation.

Don’t forget to send Laurel your recording – details below:

The guide audio for Opera Hat is up! Deadline for recordings is 22nd March. Email to swiftlj@gmail.com There are 2 identical versions – but one has a metronome. I’d recommend using that one.The intro is accordion only, but I would suggest all melody players play it too, to ‘hit the ground running’ for the first A part – unless it confuses you! I will cut this out later to leave accordion. Pretty sure everyone knows the arrangement! My notes say:1) box + chords
2) tutti3) tutti lines 1234 except brass and squeeze4) everyone  You can download this audio from soundcloud, the option is hidden in the ‘…more’ button. Have the guide track in headphones and record yourself playing along on phone, computer, or fancy kit! Good luck!
