🎶 ODA Adult Choir Taster Session
Interested in singing with other adults in the ODA community, including staff and other parents/carers? At ODA we are all about giving things a go and looking at how we can add value to our community. We are excited to say that one of our parent governors, Adeola, has agreed to use her musical skills to support us with a taster singing event to see if a regular ODA Adult Choir may be of interest.
The Adult Choir Taster Session will take place on Wednesday 1st July. Please help us to make the event a success by completing the following form, where you can tell us about your interest level, if you will be coming to the event and, if so, what time would work best. Thank you for your help!
