Dear
Parents/Caregivers
About Artsplash
Artsplash is an
arts festival that gives our students the opportunity to sing at a concert in
the Michael Fowler Centre with a range of other schools in the Wellington
region. The students in Years 3-6 are
currently working hard to learn the 12 songs for the performance, and will be
accompanied by the Wellington Youth Sinfonietta Orchestra, the Chilton Amadeus
Orchestra and the Artsplash Festival Band.
The concert
Amesbury School
will be singing in the Artsplash concert that is on Wednesday 12 September
at 7:45pm at the Michael Fowler Centre.
Details of where to meet for the concert will be provided nearer to
the time. Tickets for the concert are $5
each, with an initial limit of 3 tickets per family (please note that the
students performing in Artsplash do not need a ticket.) Please submit your request for up to 3
tickets using the link below, or via the school blog by Friday 31st August. Should you require
more than 3 tickets, please also indicate this on the request form. Tickets will be sent home from Monday 3rd
September. We will invoice you for the
number of tickets issued. Payment for
tickets can be made by cash or cheque to the school office, or by internet
banking.
Dress rehearsal
On the day of the
concert (Wednesday 12 September) , there is a dress rehearsal at the Michael
Fowler Centre from 11:30-1:00pm. We will
be travelling by bus, leaving school at 10:50 and returning to school at approximately
1:30.
The students will have morning tea before they
leave, and lunch when they return. We
will send out a reminder about this rehearsal closer to the time.
Costumes
Three of the
songs we are singing require special headwear.
We are giving you advance warning of this so that you have time to get
organised! Here are the instructions
we’ve been given from the organisers:
“If I Only Had a
Brain” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” (both from The Wizard of Oz) -
any one of these four options:
* Dorothy - headband with big
bow or scarf
* Lion - lion costume
headpiece
* Tin man - tinfoil covered
box or tube that can be worn on the head
* Scarecrow - hat with
straw/hay, checkered scarf
“Walking on
Sunshine” - tinsel wig in any colour (can be bought cheaply from places like
The Two Dollar Shop or The Warehouse.)
Please note, the
students need to have both types of headwear i.e. a Wizard of Oz
one and a tinsel wig. We hope
this doesn’t cause any inconvenience.
If you have any
queries about anything to do with Artsplash, feel free to contact Fiona (one of
the Artsplash teachers) by email: fiona.white@amesbury.school.nz
Kind regards
Fiona White
