Rehearsals are held each Saturday during term time at Bridgewater High School upper site.
Please note, we do not use the main school entrance to access the school, instead WYO members access the building via the back playground. As you enter the school grounds from the road, turn immediately right (past the drop off areas), then turn left through the rear blue gates towards the back of the school. The Foyer Gang are inside the blue doors at the bottom of the playground ready to meet you.
Rehearsal times
PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW REHEARSAL TIMES FOR SYMPHONY:
Symphony Orchestra – 9.15am to 12.00
