For the very first time, Key Music Australia students from across our 8 primary schools will join together and perform onstage in the Concert Hall at The Concourse, Chatswood. Students will be grouped into 1 of 3 performance groups, and every performer will have the rare opportunity to play for around 20 – 30 minutes each in an extended band performance on a professional stage.
About the Showcase:
Tuesday 12th November
All contact on the day of the event should go via your Showcase Parent Helper – refer to our email for the specific contact numbers for your school.
Drop Off:
We recommend that all students have an early dinner prior to their drop off time and that students visit the bathroom just before being dropped at their muster point.
Students need to arrive promptly at 5:30pm at The Concourse, Chatswood (For the specific Muster Point location for you school click here)
Please ensure that children are walked to their muster point by an adult. There are no safe places around The Concourse for a vehicle to pull up and children to alight themselves. If you are running late, the best option is to park in the underground car park at The Concourse. Please inform your school’s Parent Supervisor if you are running late and your expected arrival time. Please help us keep this event on time by being punctual.
