Hi Everyone,

NB you do not need to purchase a ticket for any performer in the concert.

Tickets will be on sale from Saturday 21st October 2009 - Wednesday 11th November 2009.

To purchase tickets, please put your name on the front of an envelope plus the number of tickets that you require, place the payment inside and give it to your class teacher. 

Your tickets will be given to you at your child’s next class.

COSTUMES

It is DANZA policy to hire costumes for the concert to the students rather than expect parents to purchase and sew individual costumes for their children. The hire charge for each class is based on type/number of costumes.  An invoice will follow to advise you of the amount due.  This fee is payable with your term 4 fees. 

FEES

Term four fees & costume hire are payable from today and all monies are required to be to us by week two of term four.  If there are special circumstances relating to payment, please contact me via email or phone.

This Photo Shoot is not compulsory but I do urge everyone to attend as it is a fantastic experience.   The photos will be on display and for sale on Concert day prior to the show as well as during intermission.

CONCERT REHEARSALS

We will be holding rehearsals at the Allambie Community Centre on both Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th November which will be compulsory for all students to attend.  This will give your child the opportunity to dance on the stage prior to the concert and hopefully ward off any stage fright.

Please see Concert Rehearsal schedule for your child’s rehearsal time. 

We will also be holding a rehearsal for all students on Saturday 31st October from 10am - 1pm & Saturday 7th November from 10am - 1pm at the Allambie Studio. 

Exact times your child will be required on these dates will be advised via email within the next couple of weeks.  Please ensure you son and or daughter attend.

 

Thank you for spending the time reading this long but   informative newsletter. 

See you in class,

Michelle Huxley
