Recording the concert
The 60th Anniversary Concert will be recorded and photographed and these will be made available to band members and guests so no personal photography, video or sound recording will be allowed during the concert.
Uniform – see FAQ for details
We are having official band photos after the on-stage warm up, while you are playing and a LCCB group photo at the end. Please ensure you arrive in FULL BAND UNIFORM ie. good concert blacks with black from waist down and your band’s scarf/tie. Ladies who wish to wear a skirt or dress need to wear black stockings/tights. Black socks only please (no polka dots). If your concert blacks need an update check out the local second hand stores – they often have a good collection of black clothes and shoes at very reasonable prices.
What to take on stage?
You will only be able to take your instrument and folder of music on stage. You won’t need jackets, bags, water bottles or instrument stands. Leave valuables at home or with audience members. All other belongings can be left with your instrument cases backstage.
Large instruments and equipment – unloading via The Concourse carpark. There is a height restriction of 2.2m. There are lifts that access the Civic Pavilion directly from the carpark. Park near the lifts labelled 4 and 5 and load goods directly into the lift. Select CP (Civic Pavilion) on the lift and this loads directly into the Pavilion foyer space.
