We are having a morning sound check rehearsal for our ensembles at The Perth Concert Hall on Saturday 21 October. You may wear casual clothes for the morning rehearsal. Concert clothing is only required for the performances.

Please arrive a minimum of 15 minutes before your allotted time to find the venue, tune up and be ready to go on stage during the changeover period. We will not be waiting for latecomers, for both rehearsals and concerts.

Due to space restrictions at the venue, we are only able to let large instruments (double bass, tuba, harp, contrabassoon) keep their instruments at the venue between soundcheck and concert.

Double basses please remember to bring your bass stool.

Please bring all accessories that you need including spare strings, mutes, and rock stops! All cellists and double basses must bring their own rock stop to use on the Perth Concert Hall stage.

Entry to PCH will be through stage door. This is accessible via the driveway between the Duxton Hotel and PCH, off St Georges Terrace. The main foyer is not open in the mornings so you can only get in through the backstage gates.

Call times for the concerts are as follows:

• Sinfonietta and Collegium – 4:30pm arrive. 5pm concert start. Concert estimated to finish at 5:50pm
• Flute Choir – arrive 5:45pm. Camerata, Philharmonic – arrive 6:00pm. 6:30pm concert start. Concert estimated to finish at 8:10pm.

Members of Sinfonietta, Camerata, and Flute Choir will be sat as a group inside the concert hall after their performances to watch the remainder of their respective concert. We will have staff chaperoning them during the concert to and from their seats.

If you have children performing in both concerts, their instrument may be left backstage while they are watching their sibling perform. Please leave instruments in the Green Room at Perth Concert Hall.

Rehearsal and Concert Drop off and Pickup Info:

• Please sign in to the WAYO sign in sheet on your room door upon arrival for rehearsal and again for concert.
• Only playing members can go backstage into the warmup rooms due to limited space. If you need assistance in carrying large items, we will have our Operations Assistants there to help. Please ask our team to help if required.
• Parents can pick up members after the concerts in the ground floor foyer spaces at Perth Concert Hall. Members will be chaperoned to the ground level riverside foyer (near the Wardle Room) after their concert for collection. There will be signage and directions to show where the pickup area is.
• Please do not crowd outside stage door for pickups as this prevents access and egress of the backstage area.
• We do ask that all under 18 members are collected in person by a parent or guardian and that children do not walk off by themselves to meet cars.
• Please pick up children within 10minutes of the finishing time of the concert.
