[edit] Notable Alumni

Reverted to edition without Postman Pat as a notable alumnus; Im not saying he didn't study at Chets, just that it's unlikely. If user 83.99.18.184 - or anyone else for that matter - can provide evidence to the contrary, feel free to revert it back. M A Mason 23:17, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

Anyone care to comment on how "Chetham's" and "Chet's" are pronounced? Flapdragon 12:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I've always heard "Chetham's" as "Cheat-ums", and then "Chets" as 'Ch' as in 'chair', then 'et' as in 'bet'. I don't know enough about IPA to add it though. Also, I'm sure about the grammatical rules for including the apostrophe in a Chet's/Chets contraction. Lambyuk 00:31, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
It's as "Cheat" "Umz" if you get that. --Alex9891 00:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pheonix Brass Quintet and the G-Floor links

Anyone know why these two external links are in this article? Pheonix Brass Quintet states on the site that they were formed by students of Royal Northern College of Music and the G-floor appears to be some English guy's personal website. Is there something more to them than that? --Siobhan Hansa 21:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I think they should go, they don't really add anything to the article. --Alex (Talk) 21:12, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
That's good enough for me! I took them out. If another editor knows why they were here please let us know. Thanks --Siobhan Hansa 21:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

They were there because two members of the Phoenix Brass Quartet studied at chets, and the G-floor used to be chets' "underground" website (referring obviously to the palentine practice block) and had gossip, news, photos etc. but has since morphed more into a personal site. Were you guys even at chets??

I wasn't. Why would you assume editors of this article attended the school? Thanks for clearing up the mystery. The links you're describing seem a bit tenuous for an encyclopedia article. I suggest they stay off the page. -- Siobhan Hansa 04:23, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I uploaded and added a free photo from Flickr. It isn't the best, but better than nothing. I'll try and get one myself. Majorly (talk) 13:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
