CONCERT COMMITMENT
1. Regular weekly attendance is compulsory to learn the concert routines and students must not be absent for more than 2 classes per term, in term 2, 3 and 4 without prior notice. Students may be removed from the performance team at any point throughout the year if they do not uphold the minimum attendance required.
2. All students will require a costume for each dance they are in, with some classes performing two routines. Costumes may be ordered or purchased already made, or you may be required to source some items yourself. Costume costs are not included in your term fees. A deposit of $40 per class is required to be paid into a costume fund. Once we receive this commitment form you will be emailed an invoice for the costume fund, please check the bank details at the bottom of invoice as it is different to the term fees account.
3. All students will require the correct tights and shoes for each genre of dance. These are listed in our dress code and will also be detailed in your costume newsletter.
4. All students are required to attend the photo shoot day at the studio on Sunday 3rd November with full make-up, hair and costumes. There is no cost for this day. Times TBA
5. All students will be required for a full studio rehearsal on Sunday 10th November. Location and running times to be advised.
6. All students must attend a full-dress rehearsal at Hopgood Theatre (Noarlunga) on Fri 15th Nov from 4.00-5.00pm onward. Exact times TBA later in the year.
7. All students must perform in BOTH the matinee and evening show on Sat 16th Nov.
8. All students will need their hair and make-up done on the day of the concert. The information on how to do this will be supplied to you well in advance. We also have a concert information session at the studio with a tutorial on how to do hair and make-up. You will need your own hair and make-up equipment for hygiene reasons.
9. Family members, including parents, will need to purchase a ticket if they wish to watch the matinee and/or evening performance. This is optional. Tickets range in price from approximately $15.00 to $28.50.
10. Parents must volunteer officially and provide a current police check in order to supervise the students backstage at the concert. If you are not an approved, official VMS volunteer, you will be unable to stay in the dressing rooms with your child/ren.
If students withdraw from the concert in Term 3 or 4, it greatly affects the other students in the class. Therefore, we ask that you please be mindful of this when making your decision and ensure that your child/ren understand it is a year-long commitment they are making to the other members of their class.
