If you are unable to attend a rehearsal, please let your section leader know and ensure that, if in possession of parts required for the next rehearsal, you return them to your section leader or another member attending the next rehearsal. Wind or brass players should try to find a deputy - alternatively contact Pippa Craggs (flute) - pcraggs@bristolmetropolitanorchestra.com. Pippa has access to our database of alternative players.
