Out of Practice?
Not sure if you'd like to play in a band or ensemble? Perhaps you might be worried about how good you need to be? Whilst we can assure you that we don't bite (much!), the only way to really find out if it's for you is to turn up on a Saturday morning during term time and see what it's like in the flesh (not buff). You can try it for a while before deciding whether to commit. We're nice like that. We want you to have fun.
What's Happening?
In this dark recess on the Internet we try to provide an overview of what the Huntingdonshire Music School might be up to and significant dates.
Whilst still at the initial stages of development, the "diary" has been broken into:-
- internal college dates. These are significant dates or events that affect the college. Some will be of importance to pupils and staff, whilst others are open to any member of the public
- diary. This provides a simple listing of forthcoming events extracted
from our online calendar.
- external college events. These are dates where the college is involved outside of the music school premises. This will include external concerts and competitions.
- general external music events. We thought that it would be useful to try and compile dates of music events in and around Cambridgeshire and surrounding counties.
Archives
We keep some pictures of past events on archive pages. There are currently pages for 2004 and 2007.
Many more pictures (600+) are available on the Group website (more information) at groups.mac.com/humsa for which you need a login name and password. If you are staff, a student (past or present) or parent please request access and we'll send an invitation to join.

Workshops
February 9th & 23rd 2008 - Early
Music Workshop (open to all). Further details....
These
are the (relatively) static dates. In order to view
the latest diary dates and information you need to view the HUMS iCal
diary . This contains more information than can be squeezed
in above plus it has the added bonus (for the poor old webmaster) of
being updated automatically. We have a easy to follow guide how
to get our calendars onto your computer without you having to enter anything.
External College Events
The following are external events, outside the college, where our students
are actively involved i.e. playing. Sometimes they are the main attraction
(aren't they always), sometimes they are supporting a bigger event. For
photos from past events see the
picture archive...

General Music Dates
The idea is to try and compile a diary of musical events in and around
Cambridgeshire and surrounding counties including Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire,
and Hertfordshire. Having said this we're open to include anything within
reasonable traveling distance.
Potentially, and with contributions from folks who either organise or who discover forthcoming events, this could become difficult to maintain using a static web page. What we've done is to publish a calendar which can be viewed at either Apple or the iCalShare sites. In both cases there is a single master calendar source.
If
you are using a Mac or the Netscape browser you can subscribe to this
calendar. Guidance on subscribing using the Netscape
(or open source Mozilla / Firefox / Thunderbird) browser or apple iCal
or Mozilla Sunbird calendar applications is available here.
More information on how this is published is available on the iCal part
of Apple's site.
