Each student will need to come prepared with his/her instrument, ensemble folder with music and any accessories required. Parents are reminded that no students will be released from backstage at interval. Staff will escort students to the front entry at the conclusion of the concert. Please ensure students have had an early dinner prior to their arrival time at BBC; they may also bring a small snack with them. Students are not permitted in the foyer at the pre-concert function, as they are required to be in their warm-up area with their ensemble.
Please remember all ensemble members play a very important role in performances and full attendance allows each group to sound its best. Attendance at concerts is compulsory for students who are working towards Music Commitment Pockets.
