Clubs & Groups
Next to traditionnal school subjects, we have plenty of groups and clubs where our secondary pupils can acquire and develop their talents and show positive engagement.
Students are welcome to join any of these groupes during their breaks. Do not hesitate to push the door!
Extra musical activities at EEB2
EEB2 organizes various extra musical activities, including the EEB2 Orchestra, Jazz Band and Choir. Rehearsals for these ensembles happen every Monday at lunchtime (for the choir) or from 16h15 to 17h30 (orchestra and jazz band). The idea of these ensembles is to give the students a chance to develop their musical skills, but maybe as important, as a social activity and to have fun. We organise two concerts a year (Christmas Concert and the Gala Concert in May) where the students get a chance to perform and show what they've achieved, to parents, friends and fellow students. All students are welcome to apply to join, although in the case of the orchestra and jazz band it is important that they are able to read music (at a basic level).
In most cases students must bring their own instrument, which if necessary they can leave (on the day of the rehearsal) in one of the music rooms during the day.
Jazz Band
The first meeting on Monday 8 October (16h10 in Music Room 600), is to see who is to see who we have in the band this year, and naturally greet any pupils interested in joining. Unfortunately we cannot except all instruments, so in doubt please contact Mr Higham (highamjo@teacher.eursc.eu). The idea of the band is to try to put together a small repertoire which is a mixture of jazz, pop and rock.
Choir
The Choir is restarting this year on Monday 8 October at lunch time (P5 for S1-S2, P6 for S3-S7) in Music Room 600. The choir is directed by Mrs Calamy. The repertoire is a mixture of various styles including popular, musicals and light classical. There is no requirement to be able to read music.
Orchestra
The Orchestra is restarting this year on Tuesday 8 October (16h15 in Music Room 603). There is an orchestra practice every Tuesday, directed by Mrs Calamy. The repertoire is a mixture of various styles and not only 'classical' repertoire, including popular, musicals and light classical. Students will need their own instruments and be able to read to a minimum level.
