Wednesday March 6th 2013Important Choir Info
Concert in The Helix 7:30pm, Sat 9th Feb. Tickets €25 available on 01 7007000 or www.thehelix.ie. Choir will finish at 3:30pm on Friday to allow extra well needed rehearsal time for our final practice before the concert on Saturday.
To answer some questions:
- The children are not allowed any electronic items on Saturday, this includes mobile phones.
- The girls may wear school trousers if they wish or grey long socks instead of grey tights are also another option.
- All children must bring a good lunch for backstage. I would suggest eating dinner at midday before getting on the bus leaving school at 4:20pm sharp.
- They are not allowed sweet or messy items in their packed lunch.
Thank you for your continued co-operation. Ger Meade.
