September 20th: We have our FREE taster session in the SU Main Hall! Here you will have the opportunity to meet some of our members from last year and take part in a short rehearsal taster to see how things work. Becky Maddocks, Vice President, will be teaching a small section of choreography for our ANATT performance of Nicest Kids in Town as well as Flynn Sturgeon, Careers & Development Officer and Musical Director for Cabaret, will start teaching some of the fabulous harmonies for 21 Guns. During these two hours we will also have some fun-filled games and a chance to socialize.

Production team members will be present at the Fresher Fair, the Taster Session and the BBQ so there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions!

Early-October: The start of rehearsal for ANATT will begin. We will perform two number in this fantastic inter-society showcase, 'Nicest Kids in Town' from Hairspray and '21 Guns' from American Idiot, we encourage all of our member to get involved! Nothing looks better than a stage full of MTS members, so please do come along to rehearsals which will be on Tuesday and Thursdays evenings. ANATT itself will take place at the end of October!

In addition to all these exciting performance events, MTS will also be partaking in regular Sing-Along Surrey events. Sing-Along Surrey is a programme run by Royal Holloway, allowing its various music-based clubs and societies to visit local care homes throughout the county. We pride ourselves on bringing such joy to the residents of these homes through our music and encourage as many of our members as possible to give up some of their time to come along and share our MTS spirit.

We will also be having regular socials, including a theatre trip to a West End show, as well as a careers-based event with industry professionals. Does all of this sound exciting? It certainly does to us, which is why we are one of the busiest societies on campus!

Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on mts@su.rhul.ac.uk. Less than a month to go until term starts, we can't contain our excitement!!
