Mr Kennedy Bows Out In Style.
Violin
teacher Alan Kennedy retires at the end of August and all at the TVMS wish him
all the best. Not only a great musician and teacher, much loved by all who
know him, but also a tremendous personality who will be sadly missed in Stockton
schools. Alan can be seen (below right) in action at the "Stockton's Got
Talent" event giving out prizes to the winners and runners up.

Bands & Orchestras To Combine For Christmas Spectacular
There are plans to bring Stockton and Billingham Bands and Orchestras together in 2008/2009 for joint rehearsals on a regular basis and to work toward a joint repertoire at the Christmas Concert on December 8th at The Oakwood Centre. This will depend on us being able to fund transport between the two venues - watch this space.
