Thursday's Arrangements!
Copy of the letter going out tomorrow!!
Dear Parents,
Here are the final arrangements again for the Young Voices concert in Sheffield! The day will run exactly the same as prepared for last time.
Lunch time:
Children will be having an lunch at 12:00 at school – if your child would like a hot dinner that day please fill in the slip below and send the money, if you paid last time the credit will be carried over.
We will then be leaving on the coach at 12:30pm.
If you would like to make a contribution towards the cost of the coach – please send £ 5 in with your child this week, thank you for those who already have.
Timings:
Arrival – 1:45pm – 2:00pm children arrive at arena
Rehearsal begins – 2:45pm
5:00pm – Hour tea break (children stay in arena with school staff)
6:00pm – Door open for audience.
7:00pm – concert commences.
Approx 9:15pm – concert ends.
We will escort the children out of the arena and wait for you to collect you child at the main entrance facing the car park (see attached picture.) Please be aware that this is an extremely busy time and it is essentially that your child stays with us until we have completed a final head count. Please do not leave with your child without informing a member of staff.
T-shirts, hats and torches:
Please ensure your child attends school in their school uniform and brings a white t-shirt or a young voices t-shirt to change into. Their school trousers or skirt will be fine to wear at the concert as we have to wear dark bottoms and white t-shirts – these are the organisers rules!!.
Children also have the opportunity to a small battery operated torches to add to the effect of the evening! (I don’t think Santa hats will be needed now!!)
Food and drink:
Please provide a packed, substantial tea with drink for your child also include an additional water bottle for your child as we will be eating in the arena before the concert. You child requires no money as there is no opportunity to buy anything.
Thank you for all of your support you have provided at home, learning the songs! Looking forward to seeing you in Sheffield!

NEW DATE!!
Young Voices has been in touch - please read their email below!
Dear Teacher i/c Music,
You know how disappointed we were, as you must have been, to be unable to stage our Sheffield concerts on the 1st, 2nd & 3 December. However, there is no doubt that it was the right decision and the risks were too high to consider.
We are very pleased to advise you that all three concerts are now rescheduled for the 14th, 15th & 16th February on exactly the same basis as December. The repertoire will remain the same and all tickets are valid and not refundable. We confirm your date is
16th February 2011
and your seating plan that you have already received will apply on this date. All artists have confirmed their availability as have the Music Director, the conductor and the band so we will have a wonderful series of concerts albeit not exactly Christmas.
All good wishes for Christmas and see you in the New Year.
The Young Voices Team
GREAT NEWS!!
