Important Event information for our show day - Sunday 10th April
PERFORMANCE
The performance will be held on Sunday April 10th in the Helix Theatre, DCU. Shows are at 3pm & 8pm sharp and I would like to remind parents that no late arrivals will be admitted into the auditorium until the interval. All photography or video- recording is strictly prohibited during the performance.
FOOD, DRINK & PERSONAL POSSESSIONS
Please give your child sensible snacks for the day. Please avoid yogurts / chocolate, anything that could stain and the preferred drink option is water. PLEASE NOTE note that any phones, or other devices and personal belongings / valuables are at owners risk and neither The Nicola Farcas School of Ballet or Helix Theatre is responsible for any loss or damage that occurs to these items.
ARRIVAL INFORMATION
All our younger students should arrive wearing the costume provided to take home during the dress rehearsal. (Seniors & G5’s wear class wear/tracksuit) All students must have clean tights and either new or very clean shoes. Hair must be tied into a neat bun. Please refrain from using ‘donuts’ (they always fall out) - a proper bun done with hair net and pins is preferred. Bun should sit in the middle of the back of the head, not too high. No jewellery. Please ensure the children have eaten properly in advance arrival so only a light snack and drink is required. For younger children, simple activities like colouring with pencils/books etc can be brought, as it can be a long day. All our students will be well looked after backstage by our kind and experienced helpers.
Students should be brought to the STAGE DOOR of the Helix Theatre for drop off. There is a lot to achieve on the day and especially during the tech rehearsals so it is VERY IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS ARE DROPPED OFF ON TIME, we really appreciate your support. Student Helpers, please note, you must attend for both your own class group and for those you are helping with. Thank you
