2023 SCHOOL AGE CONCERT INFORMATION
Please bookmark this page for future reference.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS YEAR....
We will again be at the beautiful theatre at Bunjil Place!
​
We make every effort to ensure our concerts are as enjoyable as possible for all involved, with this in mind, we would like to advise that our school age show will run for around three hours.
Please note: All pre-school children will all be in our shorter morning shows.
​
Unlike many other activities, students have been working towards this day for much of the year and we thank you for your patience and excitement for what will be a super epic show!
While we do our best to keep the show flowing, we also thank you for your patience should there be an occasional stoppage. Pre-planning will ensure this is kept to a minimum, but as you can understand working with children, sometimes last minute toilet trips or quick costume changes can mean a small delay.
​
We are SO EXCITED for our students to have the opportunity to perform in such a beautiful, grand theatre and can't wait to share all of their hard work with you!
More questions?
We understand this information may bring up some questions.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 28 - Compulsory Theatre Rehearsal
SUNDAY DECEMBER 10 - Concert Day
DATE SUMMARY
Please put these important dates in your diary!
DATE: Tuesday November 28
TIMES: Please see below
LOCATION: BUNJIL PLACE - 2 Patrick Northeast Dr, Narre Warren VIC 3805

​
Rehearsal is Compulsory for students to perform in the show.
Bunjil Place is an incredible theatre with dressing rooms on three levels. Students who are not able to attend rehearsal will not be familiar with where to go and their positions on stage. Rehearsals allow students to calm their nerves, rehearse their dance in the large space and ensure they know where to go and when. It is an important part of being on the team. If your child is unable to make rehearsal due to extenuating circumstance, please let us know ASAP.
​
