Band play at Oak House

The Royal Hospital School Community Action Team has a close relationship with Oak House, a local sheltered housing community in Stutton. Residents regularly come to school events such as concerts, chapel services and musical performances while pupils visit Oak House to talk to residents, arrange social occasions and provide welcome company and entertainment.

Roger Jones, Band Master at the Royal Hospital School, took 10 members of the School band to Oak House on 9th December to provide some “Christmas cheer”, accompanying the residents as they sang their favourite Carols.

The whole band will be playing at a Charity Gala Concert on 7th February which will also feature the Chapel Choir, Orchestra and Instrumental Soloists; all in aid of Ipswich Mencap, Help for Heroes and The Woolverstone Project. Tickets are being sold so that you can choose which charity your money goes to. For more information please call 01473 326222 or email music@royalhospitalschool.org
