Some of our Frequently Asked Questions
Performance Days
Opening times - Doors to the venue will open one hour prior to the commencement of the first session for the day.
What to do on arrival - please register at the Quota desk.
Arrival time - please ensure you arrive before the beginning of the session time (it is unwise to try to calculate the time a performance may commence as we often have performers not able to compete) and we have had instances where a performer has missed the section altogether.
During solos one parent/teacher is permitted in the dressing room for all age groups and a parent is permitted side stage for 7 years and under only.
If you are delayed - please contact Heather or Margaret on mobile - text is best as we often have our phones on silent.
MUSIC UPLOADS
We will again be utilising the services of Music Uploads (musicuploads.com.au) for the management of music files, sheet music, performance pieces and voice critiques. There is a small charge for this service. Please see the following information:
