Here are some things you need to know about the concert itself:
- The concert is at 6.30pm in the Hall. It will be finished by 9pm.
- You need to wear all black. Not blue, not brown, not patterned, and no big logos. If you want to wear a bit of tinsel etc. on yourself or on your instrument, go for it.
- Tickets are £5 on the door for adults or pay via ParentPay. Under 18s and senior citizens are free.
- The music classrooms will be available for coats, instrument cases etc. Please arrive in enough time to warm up and get organised.
- Any questions, please ask.
When the concert is in progress, you must not hang out in the classrooms or corridors. You need to be at the back of the Hall being a supportive, considerate, appreciative member of the audience who shows awareness of performance etiquette which includes not moving around or talking.
All music clubs will start up again after the Easter.
Good luck to everyone involved in the Mary Poppins Jnr production
