Welcome!
Yes, it's the first day of the Proms and we're all hugely excited. From now until the very last night, members of the Interactive team will be down at the Royal Albert Hall talking to Prommers, attending events and Proms, taking pictures, getting your feedback and capturing the buzz of the festival. Everyday we'll be giving you a round-up of what's in store and bringing many of the Proms highlights directly to you on this blog - so make this your first point of call for all Proms matters.
We want to hear from you. There are lots of ways to get involved whether you are attending Proms events, listening online, listening on DAB or watching the television coverage. You can write a full review and email it to us, comment on the blog or send a short review into BBC Radio 3's Breakfast programme via text, email or twitter. You can also join in the debate on the Radio 3 Messageboards.
So, before we start in earnest, let me introduce you to a few people who will be popping up on the blog and at the Royal Albert Hall from now until the last night:
Samara Ginsberg, Peter Gregson, Tina Spear and Daniel Jackson.

The regular R3 team have always spoken with ease and authority about both works and artists, whereas Anderson is clunky and clearly ill at ease.
It is a mistake to conflate the Proms with "Maestro" - they are two very different genres.
Come on BBC, don't lower your standards in search of populism.

You are doing great work with this blog, and the Proms... but no-one can find your pages! Look at the number of blog entries that have NO replies at all :(
