The Rosny College Groove Orchestra has had a humble yet solid start during 2024 as at the end of the 2023 the school did not have a stage band. Towards the end of the year, we had solid attendance from Raban (guitar), Levi (bass), Elaina (clarinet), Suze (alto sax) and Katya (alto sax) with thanks to Sarah (trumpet) and Charlie (bass) for their services to the band.

We have been rehearsing regularly at lunch time on Wednesdays and working up a solid repertoire of some simple jazz and funk tunes. We look forward to 2025 when we can expand our instrumentation as well as our repertoire.
