School Concert – 30th
November, 2017
All
groups will be performing at the Eastwood PS concert on Thursday, 30th November
in the school hall. The following information is provided to ensure that all
children are prepared for the performance.
Arrival
Times
All
performers should arrive with hair and makeup done and in their costume
(including ballet shoes) by 6.30pm.
REMINDER:
all children must have their own ballet tights and ballet shoes. No child will
be permitted on stage without these items.
Hair
and makeup
Makeup Stage lights fade out facial
features and can make performers look washed out. All dancers, young and old,
should wear makeup when performing. Make-up can be purchased at supermarkets;
department stores, Priceline or most pharmacies.
HAIR
AND MAKEUP INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE FOUND BELOW
If you
still cannot do hair or make-up, your child will need to arrive from 5.00pm and
no later than 6.00pm. Students who will be attending EBASC can come to have
their hair done from 4.00pm (please notify EBASC staff if you wish for your
child to have hair done early). If you
would like assistance with hair, you MUST provide your own hair ties, bun/hair
nets, bun pins and bobby pins. These can be purchased at most
supermarkets, department stores or pharmacies (eg. chemist warehouse) or from
Priceline.
The
concert is scheduled to begin at 7.00pm.
Meeting
Points
Please
deliver your child to the kindergarten classrooms on the ground floor of A
block. It would be appreciated if you would drop your child, and then proceed
to the hall. As there are so many children performing, the rooms will be very
congested. Also, as some girls will be dressing, for privacy reasons, please do
not enter the rooms or photograph the children. There will be teacher
supervision at all times.
Children
performing in other items prior to the ballet performances will need to see me
for a make-up and hair check prior to moving to meeting points for their other
items.
Quick
changes
If your
child is performing in more than one item, please be available to help them
change for their next performance. There is no guarantee that someone will be
available to help for quick changes. A running order for the concert will be
sent home shortly.
For very
quick changes (ie. only one or two items between) the PE room, on the
basketball side of the hall will be available. Costumes should be left in the
PE room prior to the start of the concert.
Costumes
Costumes
and head pieces will be sent home with your child a few days before the
performance. Please try the costume on your child once to adjust straps etc.
(if the costumes straps are loose, please sew them so they do not fall down
during the performance.
Costume
Care
Please do
not allow your child to play or eat while wearing the costume. Dance costumes
are very difficult to clean so please avoid staining them. They should try the
costume on once so that adjustment, if needed, can be made and then not worn
again until the concert.
After the
concert, all costumes should be taken home. The leotard part of the costume
(leotard bodice on dresses) must be hand washed and dried in the sun. DO NOT
wash the tulle skirts on the tutus or dresses). After washing and drying, the
costume should be packed back in the labelled zip lock bag it was sent home in.
If the bag is lost, please place the costume in a replacement zip lock bag
(label the bag with the student's name and costume size in permanent marker).
Note: Years 2 and 3 leotards will
need to be washed carefully, do not immerse in water. Wash around wings and
leaves.
All
costumes must be returned to the school by Wednesday, 6th December.
Costumes should be placed in the boxes located on the ground floor of A Block,
opposite the stairs at the EBASC end of the building. ALL COSTUMES MUST BE
RETURNED BY THIS DATE AND NO LATER.
Please
ensure costume bags are labelled with your child's name as costumes will be
checked and marked off when returned. Any missing costumes will need to be paid
for.
What to
bring
• Please
pack a water bottle (water only please). Children must not eat while
wearing their costume. They should eat before dressing for the performance.
Thank you for your cooperation and support. We look
forward to seeing you at next week’s performance!
