We begin the year with a big photo of a big rehearsal, with two visitors whom we hope will join us permanently!

On 20th March, we teamed up with Flautissimo, the Southampton Flute Orchestra, for a concert at Turner Sims Concert Hall, Southampton.
It's a fantastic sound they make! Visit their website

And here's hago - 16-strong - playing one of their two sets
Apologies for the quality - it was taken from quite a way back in the hall!

On 17th April we returned to Emsworth, this time to the Baptist Church
Here we are setting up.
Ensworth also features in our YouTube video about the Solar Boat
![Bass and alto guitars](gallery/100519-bass-2.jpg)
Not so much "Football's coming home" as "the Bass's coming home"
Here's our "new" bass, last played in hago 3 years ago, and now fitted with a Tornavoz - hear
what a Tornavoz does here...
![Hampshire Guitar Orchestra's first "mouse"](gallery/100520-mouse.jpg)
hago's first "mouse" - having put a Tornavoz in our latest bass, we noticed a buzz. It was a mouse - a ball of fluff that rolls around inside, getting larger. The bass is now buzz-free!
![The Olivier Theatre, Bedales School](gallery/100522-bedales-wide.jpg)
On May 22nd, we played at the purpose-built Olivier Theatre at Bedales School, in aid of FOSS - Friends of Sheet School

"Er, excuse me, have you seen my case?"
The Green Room at Waterlooville Music Festival - just some of our 19 cases!
![hago playing in Portsea](../../../friends/cgo/gallery/2010/100626-cgo-2.jpg)
Our traditional concert with Cambridge Guitar Orchestra took place at St George's Portsea. It wasn't without an element of drama - there had been a fire in the electricity Substation and 47,000 properties were plunged into darkness. Fortunately, the Church was soon reconnected!

At our final rehearsal before the summer break...
