Welcome to CCMS - A Collingwood College based society set up to promote all musical activity in Collingwood, making sure that musicians get as many chances to perform as possible. CCMS is an umbrella society for all the music that happens in college - this includes Grollingwood Big Band, Collingwood Orchestra, Collingwood Voices, the weekly outreach project, and music lessons (where pupils can choose either to teach or learn an instrument). This happens alongside regular informal concerts and open mic nights. We also aim to help connect Collingwood pupils and support their music making by providing further information about Durham music and fostering smaller ensembles. Feel free to contact us at any time if you have any questions, ideas or comments on [email protected]. Looking forward to another good year of music in Collingwood and seeing you all at our concerts! Rehearsals occur:

Voices: Monday 6.30-7.30pm in Collingwood music room with Rachel Blyth
Orchestra: Monday 7.30-9pm in Collingwood music room with Shayon Banerji
Grollingwood: Thursday 7.00-8.30pm in Grey Old library with Charlotte Chapman

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all doing well and are looking forward to the start of Easter Term! With restrictions slowly starting to ease, Voices and GCCO are going to start holding rehearsals again! Here is all you need to know:

Rehearsals will be held at Collingwood's Mark Hillary Theatre every week - Voices on Thursdays (starting on the 29th April), GCCO on Tuesdays (starting 4th May). Rehearsals will run every week throughout term but there is not pressure to turn up if you are busy with exams etc! The aim for these rehearsals is to get people back into having fun, singing and making music with friends!

There will also be new COVID guidelines implemented this term for rehearsals. Up to 30 people are now allowed to meet indoors due to government derogation, and each rehearsal will have a sign-up sheet to monitor attendance. Social distancing will also have to be maintained throughout the rehearsal at all times. Lateral Flow Tests will have to be taken twice a week by all members wishing to attend, as recommended by the University. Evidence of two recent negative Lateral Flow Tests (i.e. within the past week) will have to be submitted in the sign-up sheet by screenshotting the results and attaching them to the sign-up sheet. Currently, we can only accept LFT results from testing sites such as those at the university (i.e. we can't accept evidence of tests that you take at home). However, if you come into any issues with providing your results this way, please feel free to contact Josh Powell at [email protected] or via Facebook. Your results will be kept for 3 weeks alongside our registers, in line with GDPR regulations.

Other than this extra step, rehearsals will continue to be held just as they were during the first term - make sure to scan the QR code when you arrive!

We are absolutely buzzing to start making music with you all again and we can't wait to get going! To find out more about Voices and GCCO, please visit the Collingwood Music page and find the ensemble highlights - make sure to join the relevant Facebook groups to receive news on rehearsals etc!

See you all soon,

CCMS exec
