The soundcheck is a really important time to get the sound levels right. Expect to hear feedback, loud noises as the engineers get the levels right. Also it takes time to get the levels in the monitors right so you can hear the music. Please just be patient, it is a process and we will need you to be quiet and only sing when directed so we can get the best sound for the show.

Please do help us by keeping all movement in the show as quiet as possible - and please do not talk in between songs. If you are unable to stand for our songs then let your tutor know and we will provide a chair.

You will have a Green Room to put your bags and coats.

If there are any problems on the day please only talk to our tutors and they will sort them out.

WATER: you may take a bottle of water (with a lid) on stage. (no hot drinks please)

Most of all please help one another, guide each other, be considerate and be kind to each other - we are family!
