CONCERT TICKETS INFORMATION
Preparations are coming along nicely for our annual concert on Sunday 26th March at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre. There will be one performance at 3.30pm and Students will play in groups with teachers on stage to help and conduct.
The concert should last around 1hr 30mins with an interval of 20 mins.
Concert Tickets
Tickets will go on sale from 10am on Wednesday 1st March 2023 priced at £17 each and can ONLY be purchased directly from the Gatehouse by calling or visiting the Box office situated at the Gatehouse.
Tickets can also be purchased via the website.
Most of the performers will be seated with chaperones and supervising adults in the theatre in a designated section throughout the concert and will not need to purchase a ticket.
Performers in ‘Lean on Me’ and ‘Honey Bee March,’ along with a few of our students in other songs, will be seated with parents in a designated area. We will have already spoken to those students/parents regarding this. When contacting the Gatehouse to purchase your tickets, ask for a ‘performers free ticket’ for the student.
Members of staff will escort students from the audience to the backstage area to perform.
A seating plan is now available in reception and on our website. This will indicate what we feel are the best areas to sit in the audience according to where the performers will be on stage. Please be aware that we do use two levels of risers on stage, so sitting too close to the front may hinder the view of keyboard and guitar students.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals will take place at the Music School on Sunday 5th March. Please see the timetable below. Students can be dropped off and collected on the day of rehearsals or parents can accompany them. Performers on ‘I’m a Believer’, ‘Lean on Me’ and ‘Honey Bee March’ will rehearse in class and ONLY need to attend the Gatehouse rehearsal on the morning of the concert.
On the day of the concert, there will be short rehearsals between 11.00am – 2pm at the Gatehouse Theatre, to enable sound checks and to give students the opportunity to play through the songs. A timetable will be available on our website from Monday 6th March at www.staffordmusicschool.co.uk/news. It is very important that as many students as possible attend the rehearsals, so that they feel comfortable with the venue and we can ensure the best sound quality.
Photos & Video
We will film the concert and both photos and videos will be available to purchase via a digital download as soon as possible after the concert. If you do not wish your child to be filmed, please let us know.
We ask that there is no flash photography while the students are playing as it can disturb the performance.

We are really looking forward to seeing our students perform again at the Gatehouse Theatre. For our new students, there are a few short videos from previous concerts on our YouTube channel to give you an idea of what to expect.
If you have any queries at all, please let us know.
