Join the Friends of RGS Music
About Us
RGS has a fine tradition and reputation for music making. Friends of RGS Music was established in 1995 to support the outstanding work of the Music Department by raising money for instruments and activities and by bringing professional musicians into the school to provide opportunities for the boys to experience top class performances.
Membership
Membership is open. We welcome anyone who would like to support music at RGS - not just parents new and old - but everyone, including local residents, old boys and former members of staff.
We raise money through membership subscriptions and through a variety of fund raising activities including arranging concerts and providing and selling refreshments.
Over the years Friends of RGS Music has provided numerous instruments for the Music Department, including - most notably - the grand piano in the Queen's Hall, along with an upright piano for the practice rooms, two oboes, various clarinets and saxophones, and a concert xylophone to name but a few.
In 2005 we purchased six much needed large brass instruments to allow the Year 7 Brass Project to get off the ground. We also pay for the repair and refurbishment of the instruments and part-funded the instrument storage area in the new music department, completed in 2003.
