We are excited to announce that our senior academy musicians will be participating in the All Under One Sky gala concert at the Royal Albert Hall on 1st April 2025.
This page provides all the information you need to help ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for our academy musicians at the Royal Albert Hall.
Coaches
Coaches will be leaving from the Power League in Pursley Road, Mill Hill, sometime in the morning (time to be confirmed). Please let us know if you have more than one child taking part and if they wish to travel together – otherwise we will try to seat students with members of their own band / orchestra on the coaches.
There will be no return coach and you will be expected to collect your son / daughter at the end of the concert.
Separate arrangements will be made for those students making their own way to the Royal Albert Hall. Please inform your Head of Music Academy if your child will not be travelling to the RAH by the coaches provided.

Instruments
Please ensure instruments are in good working order and students have spare reeds / strings with them. Students should each bring a named music stand with them and any music folders they may have taken.
Medication
Please send any medication needed with your son / daughter in a clear, named plastic bag. Could older students please make sure the member of staff responsible for them is aware of their need to take any medication and could parents of younger students please inform staff at the drop off point
Lunch and dinner
Please send your son / daughter with a packed lunch and tea / dinner (of food that will not easily go off and no nuts) and sufficient drinks for the whole day (plastic bottles and no fizzy drinks) in a disposable bag with their name on. They will have an opportunity for a small snack before the rehearsal and there will be a number of breaks during the day. There will be nothing for students to spend money on and they should be dissuaded from bringing valuable items such as mobile telephones.
NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES PLEASE. BEAT will not take responsibility for these.
Live Stream and Permissions
The concert will be live streamed, giving families and friends an opportunity to watch this extraordinary event online. Please ensure you have permission from the parents of all participating students for filming. This confirmation will be required before the concert date.
Photographic consent
This event is a public performance, and as such, photos and recordings may be taken during the event, which will also be livestreamed online. If you do not wish for photos of your child to be captured, please inform your child’s centre head (Kerry Reid or Sophie Boden), who will communicate your request to the relevant personnel.
Please note that while efforts will be made to prevent unauthorised photography, it can be challenging to monitor in a public setting, and BEAT cannot accept liability in this regard.
Tickets
Tickets for the concert will be available through the Royal Albert Hall box office. A range of ticket prices will be offered to ensure the concert is accessible to all.
