Compulsory Rehearsal Day - Sunday 28th November, 8am – 1pm
We are holding one big, closed rehearsal at the Flinders Performance Centre in Buderim. No audience, no parents, no dressing mothers. Just the students, teachers, and staff for a full-Dress Rehearsal / Technical Rehearsal / Complete Concert run through.
Students need to be dropped off in their first costume with everything they need for the show. Please pack some food and water bottles only. Every student must attend. This is very important. It is our only chance to practise what will happen on the day. The videographer and photographer will also be there filming the rehearsal, so you must pretend it is the actual concert day. Full make up, hair and costumes are required as this performance is professionally photographed. All photos can be purchased via email registration once invitation link is emailed to you. The concert day is not photographed so you must attend and ensure you have hair and makeup on for this rehearsal.
Students will arrive sharp at the allocated times. The curtain waits for no one. Please sign in at the door and pick up from the same door.
