Sing Out! at The Dome-
Wednesday 13th & Thursday14th June 2018
Dear Music Co-ordinator,
Doncaster Music Education Hub is once again putting on a massed sing at The Dome for Primary Schools in which school choirs will get the opportunity to perform together with a live band.
The dates of the performances are Wednesday 13thand Thursday 14th June 2018.
There will be a rehearsal on the day from 3pm and the performance will begin at 7pm. The performance will finish around 8.30pm. Pupils will be required to bring a drink and packed tea.Pupils will remain at The Dome from 3pm – 8.30pm. Staff will need to supervise their own pupils at all times and to wear identification to aid The Dome security staff.
Song music, lyrics and mp3 files will be sent out via dropbox to schools who are interested in taking part. These resources will be available before the Easter break. There will also be a twilight CPD session for teachers in order to prepare pupils for the event, which will take place on Tuesday 10th April 4- 5.30pm at The Point.
The songs will be a mixture of modern pop songs and a varied range of songs including three new compositions created with 6 Doncaster Primary Schools.
We are determined to minimise costs to schools, so the cost of the event is heavily subsidised by Doncaster Music Education Hub. The cost is a fee of £30 per school however many pupils come. Audience ticket prices will be £5 for adults and £4 concessions. We are not limiting the size of choirs, but there may need to be a first-come, first-served system for places if we are over-subscribed.
Timetable
If you wish to take part please return the form below indicating approximate numbers of pupils and staff involved.Please return the formas soon as possible to Amy Knowles-
Dress
Pupils are asked to wear a plain bright t-shirts with jeans or trousers.
The words to the songs will need to be memorised for the performance, although some of the songs will be well-known to pupils already so that this is not an onerous task!
Tickets
Tickets will be available from The Dome box office (booking fee may apply).We advise audiences to Book early to avoid disappointment. Pupils and teaching staff who are part of the performance do not require a ticket. Tickets are only required for audience members. Children under 3 who do not require a seat are free. Ticket prices will be £5 for adults and £4 concessions.
Photographs and Filming
Please be aware that all children taking part must have consent to be filmed or have photographs taken. Parents will be taking pictures of their child and at a massed event it is almost impossible to screen out surrounding pupils. Children will not be identifiable by school uniform and some photos will be used for publicity by the Hub. Responsibility for this must remain with the school staff.
Organisation
This is key for an event on this scale and we will be arranging areas for schools to arrive, leave coats/packed teas and to perform in. These areas will be well marked and there will be ushers to assist. At the end of the concert schools will be marshalled out to meeting points for parents, which will be outside the main hall. The audience will be informed of this at the concert so that they will be clear about where to go to collect their child. It is in the interests of safety that all schools follow these procedures.The hall is a large area and we need to vacate it safely so that teachers can hand over pupils to parents in an orderly manner.
We are looking forward to another memorable evening of music for your children in Doncaster’s premier performance venue. If your school wishes to take part in Sing Out please complete the form below to register your school. Could you please indicate which day you would prefer i.e. Wednesday or Thursday and we will try our best to accommodate. Dates will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
