This year the music day will include a gamelan workshop. A gamelan is a collection of instruments from Indonesia that are all played together. There will be an expert tutor running the sessions for us. Traditionally gamelan instruments are played without outdoor shoes so make sure you are wearing socks or bring some slippers.

Some of the activities will count towards the staged music badges. In particular, each participant should bring along a short piece that they know well to perform on the day.
