What is the OFF SITE REHEARSAL?
Off-Site rehearsals – held at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Theatre.
Concerts 1 and 2 will rehearse on Tuesday 19 August.
Concerts 3 and 4 will rehearse on Wednesday 20 August.
This is the first rehearsal when the 1200 voice massed choir (from a particular concert) will ALL come together with the accompanists, soloists, choreography leaders, hosts, the orchestra and have Robyn and Cathy conducting the entire program.
All metropolitan schools MUST attend the off site rehearsal that corresponds to their concert.
