UPDATED CANDLELIGHT CONCERT INFORMATION

Dear JCC Families,

First of all, Students - here is the practice link to Celtic Blessing of Light I mentioned in rehearsal:

The following information is virtually the same as the previous post about our Choral Candlelight Concert. Anything new is in bold print:
The St. James-Assiniboia Choral Candlelight Concert takes place at Pantages Playhouse Theatre (Corner of Market and Main) on Monday, November 30, 2015. This is a wonderful opportunity for our choristers to perform in a beautiful venue and on a prestigious stage. This event celebrates the sounds of the season and is sure to bring warmth to all.
Our standard JCC concert attire will be worn for this event i.e. black shoes, socks, pants, tuxedo shirt, vest and bowtie. Vests and bowties will be given out by our “Vest Team” at the Pantages.
Family and friends are welcome to attend this event. Due to union regulations, the theatre does not open its doors to the public until 6:30 pm. Therefore, to avoid waiting out in the cold, plan to arrive with your child between 6:15 and 6:30 pm. A security person will let you and your child in. I will be waiting in the Foyer area by the security door with a large sign. The theatre holds 1200 so don't worry about finding a seat. Our choristers will sit upstairs in the Balcony, so you do not have to save seats for your child on the main floor. They will be well supervised in the balcony.
Admission is free however there will be a Silver Collection for local charities during the performance. As well, there will be a silent auction in the lobby courtesy of our Divisional Choirs Executive.
There are numerous outdoor parking lots in the area that require loonies. In addition, the Concert Hall has underground parking.
Thank you to the parents who have already volunteered to provide adult supervision for our students beginning at 6:30 p.m.
After the concert, students from all choirs EXCEPT THE JCC will be escorted from the balcony to meet up with parents on the main level/bus. Our JCC students will have left their outer wear in the warm up room and will be taken down via backstage after the Senior Choir sings. Please listen to the announcements during the concert as the instructions will help alleviate congestion in the lobby for student pickup after the concert.
Musically Yours,
Alice Russell
