End Of Year Concert 2024
Two Important Dates to put in your calendars now!
Rehearsal Day – Sunday 24th November 2024
Concert Day – Saturday 30th November 2024
The concert is an exciting time for students and teachers. It is what all students work towards throughout the year to showcase their talents to family and friends on the big stage. Please take the time to carefully read the following information about the show to help things run smoothly.
We will be doing things a little differently this year. We are very mindful that the studio has grown over the years, and we want to keep the length of the show to a minimum, thus for the students and audience’s benefit.
This year, we will be dividing the entire Encore student body into two separate shows. Students will only need to perform in one show. We have put a lot of thought into how we will divide the shows (with only a few senior comp team members that will be required for both shows) we believe this new structure will be in favour by all. Please note this is not the order of the show, just the list of classes.
Term Fees & Costume Payments
As you know costumes for the end of year show and term fees are paid off throughout the year. No costumes will be handed out until all accounts are settled. These payments are spread out throughout the terms to help parents budget and so costumes can be designed, created, and delivered in a timely manner.
Invoice Structure
Term 1 Invoice + $20 enrolment fee
Term 2 Invoice + Costume Deposits $40 per costume (ex GST)
Term 3 Invoice + Costume Balance $35 per costume (ex GST)
Term 4 Invoice + Concert Expense $60 per family (ex GST) You will receive; professional video of the concert on USB, access to download ALL professional stage photography and a trophy for each child.
Costumes
Each dance has a different costume designed to suit the routine. Costumes will only be handed out once accounts are settled. Please keep this in mind if you are on payment plans. We don’t want to be in a position of handing out costumes to your child moments before the rehearsal day or concert day. Your prompt payments are appreciated.
Concert Video & Trophy
Every family will receive the show digitally recorded by professionals in USB format; we had received many requests for a hard copy of the concert video, and this is the best way to distribute in a cost- effective way for families. Each student is also presented with a trophy to take home for participating in the show!
Photos
The entire show is photographed professionally. Please register your email address via this link h"ps://picturethisbykatewhatman.shootproof.com/gallery/24098928/ When the gallery is ready, you will then receive a link (by the photography company) to be able to view and download photos. If you do not register now, you will not receive a viewing link post show.
Program / Order of Appearance
A digital program will be emailed to you. Feel free to print this out or keep it handy on your phone and have with you on the day for reference. All students need to stay till the end of the show for the finale’ dance, to come up on stage for their final bow and collect their trophy. Images used in the program are from our annual photoshoot day held in term 2, so make sure you get involved when this opportunity arises!
Finale’
Every student performs in the finale’ dance, this is learned in normal class time. The costume for this is FULL ENCORE UNIFORM. If you need any uniform items, please see reception as there are plenty of stock to purchase off the rack. If we need to order anything in for you, please come in by the end of term 3 as it takes a while for new items to arrive.
Term 4
Classes will run as normal each week all the way up to the concert day. Normal timetable, normal dance clothes. To be extra clear, after the “Rehearsal Day” (Sunday 24th Nov) there is still one more week of normal classes before the concert day.
Compulsory Rehearsal Day - Sunday 24th NovemberWe are holding one big, closed rehearsal at the Flinders Performance Centre in Buderim. No audience, no parents. Just the students, teachers, and staff for a full-Dress Rehearsal / Technical Rehearsal / Complete Concert run through.Students need to be dropped off in their first costume with everything they need for the show. Please pack some food and water bottles only.
Every student must attend. This is very important. It is our only chance to practise what will happen on the day. You must pretend it is the actual concert day. Full make up, hair and costumes are required. Students will arrive sharp at the allocated times. The curtain waits for no one.
SHOW ONE = Arrive 8:00am, Pick up 11:00am
SHOW TWO = Arrive 11:30am, Pick up 2:30pm
Parents, please sign in your child at their assigned dressing room door and pick up from the same door. During the rehearsal, we will run the show twice giving students plenty of practise on the stage, so they feel very comfortable with what they need to do. Please help us by organising their costumes in a simple way so they can pack and re-pack their own items. Please follow this link for our YouTube on how to organise your dance costumes; h"ps://youtu.be/jyyDS-ltnig?feature=shared
