Here are the answers to your questions!

How many sessions of the Concerts are there? 

    1. There are 3 sessions of each concert – 1 session during school hours and 2 sessions after school hours. The 3 sessions are all the same. The reason we have 3 sessions is to give families a number of opportunities to see their children perform and also because of the limited capacity of our gymnasium (700 seats only)
    2. Students will perform a song and dance routine with their class
    3. Students will perform the same routine in each of the 3 sessions so it doesn’t matter which session you choose to attend – the Concert Program is included below

When are the sessions for Concert (A)?

    1. Session 1: Tuesday 12th September at 10.00am – Free Matinee
    2. Session 2: Wednesday 13th September at 3.30pm – $10 per ticket (no child discounts, infants under 2 who are sitting on your lap will not require a ticket)
    3. Session 3: Wednesday 13th September at 6.30pm – $10 per ticket (no child discounts, infants under 2 who are sitting on your lap will not require a ticket)

When are the sessions for Concert (B)?

    1. Session 1: Tuesday 12th September at 1.00pm – Free Matinee
    2. Session 2: Thursday 14th September at 3.30pm – Free (because you have already paid for Concert (A). Also, infants under 2 who are sitting on your lap will not require a ticket)
    3. Session 3: Thursday 14th September at 6.30pm – Free (because you have already paid for Concert (A). Also, infants under 2 who are sitting on your lap will not require a ticket)

    4. Your children who are NOT performing on a given night will require a ticket if they are going to attend their sibling’s concert, so please include them in your ticket numbers
