Music at BRGS is something of a 'special' subject. While lessons continue as normal, out of lesson time the Department becomes filled with many strange and interesting people. Many people suggest these people are odd... but mostly they are there for the tea and biscuits that come free with being good at music.
The department runs a number of bands and choirs.
Extra-curricular activities
There are several activities that take place in the music corridor at dinners:
- Monday:: Junior choir/Junior Brass Band
- Tuesday: Senior choir/Jazz Band
- Wednesday:: String Band/Senior Brass Band
- Thursday:: School band/Brass Quartet
- Friday:: Junior Choir (+blues band?)
These are all generally filled with enthusiastic people; however, the enthusiasm generally lowers as the participant get older.
The groups take part in several concerts and the like; including assemblies, playing in Haslingden, Rawtenstall and Burnley, entering Music For Youth etc.
Computers
Before January 2010, students could check their emails and play on games (not in lesson time, of course) in the music department, but now they have implented a spying method very much like the one used in the rest of the school. They log every keystroke your computer makes, even if you don't have word or the internet open and you're just randomly tapping on the desktop. If you type any 'offensive' words, your account is automatically flagged up on the 'uber-computer'. This proves very amusing when you type words such as 'classical,' 'bass ', ' homophonic' and ' analysis'.
