On Sunday 10th March, all songs will be rehearsed at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre between 10am-1pm. Rehearsal times can be found below.
Rehearsals
Performers should arrive 15mins before their rehearsal, through the entrance to the coffee shop (not the box office) and register at the bottom of the stairs.
Parents and Guardians will be asked to wait downstairs during rehearsals. Staff will escort each group into the theatre. After rehearsing, they will be escorted back to Parents and Guardians and de-registered at the bottom of the stairs.
All Vocalists are required from 11.35am – 1pm. Students can be dropped off, registered and remain in theatre with Chaperones until you collect them at 1pm.
We suggest a packed lunch for students who are with us during most of the rehearsals to eat after rehearsals in the Mountbatten Suite before the show starts. The coffee shop will be open for hot drinks and snacks.
We suggest bringing a book or something to keep occupied and a small bottle of water. Food is not allowed in the theatre during rehearsals.
Concert
Performers should arrive 35mins before their show time (1.25pm or 3.55pm) and be registered in the Mountbatten Suite. Staff will escort performers into the theatre. Performers will be seated in the theatre throughout the show.
We ask that performers only bring essential items with them to the Concert (no large bags or valuables please).
Parents and Guardians can enter the theatre and take their seats from 30 minutes before the Concert (1.30pm/4.00pm).
At the end of each Concert, performers will exit the theatre with Chaperones who will de-register them when released to Parents/Guardians in the Mountbatten Suite. To avoid congestion in this room we ask that only one Parent or Guardian go through to collect each student.
Students Aged 7 & under seated with parents
All performers need to be registered in the Mountbatten Suite before taking their seats in the theatre.
Parents will escort their children to Charlotte and Alison to the stairs at the stage door (on the right at the side of the theatre) a song but one before their song. They will be escorted backstage and returned back to parents once they have performed.
Tickets can only be purchased from the Gatehouse box office. If your child is sitting with you in the audience, please ask for a ‘performers free ticket’ as these seats are in a particular area of the theatre and let us know the seat number you purchase.
