Concert Uniforms
All outstanding ordered concert uniforms will be delivered during this week to conductors.
We will try provide late order uniforms direct to the player at The Anvil Rehearsal but cannot guarantee exact sizing for late orders.

Performers arriving and leaving.
Exact arrival and meeting arrangements for rehearsals will be provided by your conductors and may vary from the overall plan but the main schedule is detailed here should you need it. https://www.bayo-hampshire.org.uk/events-page
There is no drop off or parking at the stage door of the Anvil. Parking is available in nearby car parks.
For daytime rehearsals, performers will arrive and leave via stage door.
However, when performers return in the evening, the BEASE, BAYSTO groups and the BAYC group will arrive via the front of house.
BEASE, BAYSTO will then go to the Forge, and BAYC will go to the Circle foyer.
At the end of the concert : Reuniting information:
- Reuniting for all performing groups, except BAYPE (percussion), will take place in the foyers and/or auditorium. Parents will be instructed to remain seated whilst their child goes to their reuniting area – this will be communicated in advance information, by the programme and also by compere from the stage. Once the children have assembled in their reuniting areas, the compere will instruct the parents to go to the reuniting area in staggered intervals.
- BAYPE will reunite and leave via stage door. If any of the parents are entering the
building to assist with percussion and/or other get out arrangements, they must sign in and out on the organisers backstage register.
- Any parent not attending the concert, who needs access to the foyer to collect their
child will require a Foyer Access Pass. These will be emailed out to parents.
