💷 Rehearsal Costs

Rehearsal fees will be charged **per rehearsal**, rather than as a single upfront payment.

These fees will contribute towards hall hire, teaching costs, and show licensing/rights.
Full details and pricing will be confirmed (TBC) shortly.

Payments will be due prior to each rehearsal via an invoice 

 

📌 Attendance & Commitment

Due to the nature of putting on a full production, **attendance at rehearsals is extremely important**.

If a child misses multiple rehearsals or key sessions:

* Their role may need to be reduced or reassigned
* They may be moved to ensemble where necessary
* In some cases, participation in the final performance may not be possible

We completely understand that occasional absences happen, but we kindly ask that all rehearsal dates are prioritised where possible.

 

👗 Costumes

Costume information will be provided in due course. Some items may need to be sourced by parents.

Further details regarding expectations and additional information will be sent out soon.

Thank you for your continued support – we can’t wait to get started on what will be an amazing show!

Kind regards,
DSOPA
