Manchester Universities'
Choir And Orchestra Society
Socials
CAOS hosts various social events throughout the year, the staple of which are the weekly visits to the pub after rehearsals, where we play cards and pool games. There are various other events each year including:
Freshers Pub Quiz
Held at the end of Freshers week, this is a chance to meet some people before rehearsals start in week one, answer some questions set by our social secretaries, and naturally, have a few drinks.
Theme Park Day Trip
One weekend in semester one we take a trip to a theme park, and spend the day there enjoying the attractions. We then find somewhere to enjoy a meal together to finish the day off.
Residential
Residential is an annual weekend away during Semester 2, often to the Lake District. We book a place to stay for Friday and Saturday nights, and rehearse some music for a charity concert performed on the Sunday in a local church. Everyone pitches in on the cooking and cleaning, with the evenings being free for games, drinks, and relaxing. We also spend an afternoon exploring the local area.
Other Socials
There are other socials arranged during the year, which in the past have included Karaoke nights, Ice Skating evenings, visits to the Christmas markets, concerts at the Bridgewater Hall, and meals out together at the end of each semester.
