12:15pm	Instrumental students collect instruments from the Performing Arts Centre and meet directors in the Library Courtyard to unpack and tune.

12:45pm	Year 5 and Year 6 Bands perform
1:00pm	Primary Singers marshal

1:30pm	Performances conclude. Instrumental students must return their instruments to the Performing Arts Centre.

When not performing or marshalling, students are welcome to be seated with their families to enjoy the picnic. Students will be directed to marshal via the PA System, so students are encouraged to listen carefully for announcements so as not to miss their performances.

Students must ensure that all instruments are collected and returned to the Performing Arts Centre to prevent loss and damage on the day. All students may wear their normal Thursday uniforms.

We look forward to a fabulous afternoon's entertainment in one of the highlight performances of the year! Please contact ensemble directors or the Music Office with any queries.
