On Friday 12th February NMS groups performed as part of Light Night celebrations in the Market Square. More of our students than ever before took part, there were so many from the Area Bands we had to split them in to two perfomances. |
Big Band Night 2010 on Wednesday 27th January saw NMS students give brilliant performances once again. The Stage Band, Intermediate Stage Band and Brassery Big Band were all well received by a very appreciative audience and we have been given lots of positive feedback. |

The Christmas in the City 2009 concerts were a huge success with more people playing than ever before, giving some wonderful performances.The Lord Mayor of Nottingham, Councillor Jeannie Packer said "Now, that's what I call music! A great start to the Christmas season. Well done to everyone." |
The Concert Orchestra set the city alight at the switch-on of the Christmas Lights on the 18th November. The new pieces that have been added to the repertoire this term received a great response from the audience along side classic Christmas songs and carols. |
Bands in the Sand 2009 was fantastic. Eight bands fought it out in the finals, giving great performances which gave the judges a real challenge deciding on the winners. Visit the Bands in The Sand website to see pictures. Trent FM's Mark Del was so impressed he has offered One Piece (winners of the 15 - 19 catagory) the chance to feature in a New Music Future session. The 11 - 15 winners were Algor. There will be another opportunity to hear the Band Factory bands performing at Colwickstock 2010, on the 8th & 9th July. |

The NMS year ended in style on Friday 10th July with our second annual festival in Colwick Park: COLWICKSTOCK 2009. Unfortunately we had to cancel the World Music night, which we were very sorry & disappointed about. However the Bands night was excellent with 11 Bands performing!! It was particularly good to hear some of our Intro to Band Factory groups who played really well. The night also featured the last NMS performance by Bands in the Sand winners Sychatrissi.

| The Concert Orchestra were very well received when they performed at the city's St. Georges Day celebrations again this year, so much so they were given free tickets to go on the Big Wheel in the Market Square.
