WASMA
Wokingham Area Schools Music Association
The Wokingham Area Schools Music Association (WASMA) provides opportunities for pupils in Wokingham schools to make music together. The shows usually involve a total of around 800 children from a large proportion of the primary and junior schools in the area. |

During its history the format of performances has changed a number of times, from individual school choirs singing familiar songs to spectacular staging of modern children's 'operas' with full technical wizardry. What has not changed is the commitment of schools to offer these very special opportunities to their pupils, in the knowledge that the children will remember taking part in WASMA for many years to come.
Performances make use of cameras projected to a live screen and are recorded so that parents can purchase a video.
We currently have fairly regular groups of schools which participate in the two concerts, but new schools are always welcome to join. To find out more, please contact David Congdon, Gill Coulson or James Baker.
