Concert Day Drop Off Procedure & What to Pack

Floor plan of a building with entrances on Eton Street and Merton Street, a stage door entry marked in red, a reception area, and green arrows indicating a path through the building, with Peace Park at the top.

All Primary students are to be dropped off near the Stage Door entrance next to Peace Park (see map).

Please line up at the sign-desk which will be set up in this area. Staff/parent volunteers will be here to sign your child in, before they ushered inside.

No parents (apart from backstage volunteers) will be permitted backstage for drop off or pick up.

Arrival Time: 1:30pm

Please ensure you arrive on time for your drop off. The stage door can only be opened through an access pass which staff will have. With a very tight schedule during concert day, we will not be able to stay at the stage door entry for longer than required.

Students will need to arrive dressed in their first costume, with hair and makeup done. Please see your costume lists for the order of routines.

WHAT TO PACK

  • Costumes hung in costume bag - please ensure you have one hanger per costume

  • A storage box with a snap closure lid. This must be clearly labelled with their name and hold inside:

    • A snack box & water bottle

    • A smaller storage box holding all dance shoes & stockings (this will be taken out during the show, for easy organisation during costume changes)

    • Hair items: hair brush (smoothing brush), comb, gel, strong hair elastics, bobby pins. These must match your child’s hair colour.

  • Overall, your child should arrive on concert day with their costume bag & their packed concert box. Please do not send them with additional bags etc. Majority of the venue’s dressing rooms require travelling up multiple flights of stairs, and so our aim is to minimise the amount needing to be carried, to make the process easier for both students & staff :)

  • Please make sure to label all items with your child’s name to avoid as little lost property as possible

PLEASE SEE PICK UP PROCEDURE BELOW

Concert Day Pick Up Procedure

  • Please note that no students will be allowed to leave backstage during the show, even once their routines are completed. No parent or family members are permitted backstage at any point - this is in line with venue policy & child safety.

  • At the end of the show, all students will be on stage for the finale and a short presentation.

  • Students will return to their dressing rooms and collect their belongings. Once dressing rooms are closed, students will be ushered to the stage door entrance for pick up. Students will be walked out of the stage door at staggered intervals, starting with our Primary group.

  • We ask only one parent per child to line up at the stage door for pick up, so that the area does not become congested. Please have the rest of your friends & family wait in Peace Park. Primary parents will be asked to come to the front first. All other age group parents will be asked to wait to the side while waiting for their group to be called. As each age group is called forward, they will be asked to create a wide space and to NOT overcrowd the area so that staff can easily sight each student’s parent.

  • Students will be walked out in single file to their age group parents. Students will only be released & signed out by staff once their parent has been sighted. Your child will be walked to you once sighted - please do not rush forward as this will cause congestion over time. We appreciate your co-operation in keeping this process clear & safe.

  • Please follow all instructions so that the area can remain organised, and we can maintain a clear path for students to their parent.
