AFTER last years hugely popular and enjoyable Copplestone Proms, the PTA are getting very excited as the second Copplestone Proms draws near! This musical outdoor extravaganza, in the tradition of the Last night of the Proms will be held in the grounds of Copplestone School on Saturday, June 21, from 6pm-8pm. Advertising banners, sponsored by Claremont Marquees, have been displayed around the local towns and villages. The renowned Devon Youth Symphony and Concert Orchestras will be bringing at least 60 of their talented classical musicians to play a host of rousing tunes to entertain the crowds. Also supporting the event are the outstanding Copplestone Singers. This year the services of a sound engineer and sound system will be used to turn the volume up for the concert. To add to the Proms atmosphere everyone will be encouraged in singing along and waving a flag or two, and bringing along a patriotic picnic. Strawberries and cream, and Pimms will be served on the night along with other refreshments. Last years' event was a great social occasion bringing everyone in the Crediton community together. Tickets purchased in advance will cost £5 per adult (£7.50 on the day). Accompanied children under 16 years will be free (and do not require a ticket). Tickets can be purchased from Olivia James in Crediton, Copplestone School or email the PTA at: [email protected]">[email protected] .
