Offsite Rehearsal (Magic Millions)

This is the first time choirs, hosts, soloists, troupe, choreography leaders and the orchestra get the opportunity to work together. We all get to see and hear each other before we get to the Festival Theatre.

The photo below gives you an idea what the venue, Magic Millions, looks like.

Offsite Rehearsal (Magic Millions)

This is the first time choirs, hosts, soloists, troupe, choreography leaders and the orchestra get the opportunity to work together. We all get to see and hear each other before we get to the Festival Theatre.

This rehearsal is for Year 5 and 6 students ONLY!

Offsite Rehearsal @ Magic Millions, 1 Park Terrace, Morphettville.

The starts are early, and the finishes are late so everyone will have to do one or the other.

If you can't make it to your scheduled offsite rehearsal at Magic Millions, please organise to come to another. Please make sure it is with the same conductor (Robyn or Cathy). This information is on the Concert Grid attached to the email.

If you are changing rehearsal, please advise Anne O'Dea our Production Manager anne.odea839@schools.sa.edu.au

I have put together a document full of useful information.
