IMPORTANT COSTUME INFORMATION
· Students are required to bring all costume items from home on MONDAY OCTOBER 3RD (the first day of Term 4) and will need to remain at school (& subsequently the theatre) until the final performance
· Please send appropriate items on a coat hanger (e.g. shirts, dresses), together with a small bag containing any extra required items such as shoes, leggings, hat etc.
· Each student will be provided (by the school) with a name label in their house colour to attach to the coat hanger
We would prefer not to use plastic bags (not only from an environmental perspective) but also
1. They tend to break easily
2. They are more likely to be left behind at the theatre &
3. It is far easier to identify a distinguishable bag (also named)
PLEASE ENSURE EVERYTHING IS NAMED CLEARLY
· Items being provided by the school will be issued during that 1st week of the term
· There will be a dress (costume) rehearsal during the first week of school
· Students will arrive at and leave the theatre for the evening performances in school uniform (ALSO CLEARLY NAMED).

Students will come to school as usual and travel on buses to Union Hall for the day, returning to school for normal pick-up time.

ARRIVAL AT UNION HALL FOR PERFORMANCES
· Students’ arrival at the theatre will be staggered, commencing at 6.15.
· The week before the production, specific times for house cohorts will be published next term.
· We will also provide you with a map of Union Hall showing the students’ entrance and the main entrance for audience members.
Parents will be asked to sign their children in with teachers in attendance at the students’ entrance.
· After each performance, parents will be able to collect students from allocated waiting areas and again sign them out with their supervising teacher.
DO YOU HAVE A HOBBY HORSE HIDING IN A CORNER SOMEWHERE?
We are still in need of several to complete a specific item. If you can lend us 1 for a couple of weeks, please bring it to the music room after the holidays and ensure you have your name on it for easy return.
