Hello there! We're very excited to see you are interested in getting a taste of the Beasties this year. You'll find some more information below, but we just want to say that we're looking forward to bringing the Summer vibes to the Hill this year. Let's play some druuuuuuums!
This form is mostly for us GOs (Anna, Chrysa, Jude and Lizzie) to get an idea of logistics and attendance, so do fill it out as best you can :)
Here is some
Practical Information, so you know what you might be getting yourself into:
Commitment level:
We expect high commitment. We’ll be rehearsing twice a week, on Wednesdays (7-10pm) and Sundays (2:30-7pm*) with some extra time set aside for costuming and optional busks and socials. There will be a semi-mandatory away weekend 3-5 April, which will include wild camping. All of Saturday is mandatory for drumming purposes, but the entire experience is strongly recommended.
*We will start a bit later on some Sundays, but we have set aside some extra time for outdoor play and other stuff.
Drums we’ll be playing:
Djembes, basses, snares and shakers.
Experience level:
Open to all, whether you’re completely new to drumming or have lots of experience already. A mix of levels is very welcome!
Finances:
An expected contribution of £50–£60 (depending on final group numbers). We don’t want finances to be a barrier to taking part, so if cost might be an issue, please get in touch with us in confidence!
Open practices at The Bongo Club

We'll send a bunch more information about the open sessions and everything else over email once you've signed up, so don't worry if you feel like you don't really know exactly what's going on! You're always welcome to ask us any questions at any time, though. We're hoping to see you soon and lots of love from your Beastie GOs! x
