Winter Musical Celebration - December 14, 2023

​Learning Together, Friends Forever. 同窗四季,挚友一生
 
Important Winter Musical Information – December 14, 2023
This year Marion Carson School is hosting two performances for the Winter Musical Celebration in our school gymnasium.  On December 14, 2023, half of the homeroom classes will perform at 5:30pm (doors open at 5pm) and the other half will perform at 7:30pm (doors open at 7pm).  
For this Winter Celebration, we will be presenting the musical Fa La La Land.  Students will be singing, speaking, moving to songs and playing instruments.  It will feature homeroom classes as well as a Grades 5 & 6 cast that will be leading various roles within the musical. ​
 
Tickets will not be handed out this year.  To ensure that we're not overcrowded, stay within our building capacity limits, and ensure that all families are provided an opportunity to attend the event, we ask that families limit their attendance to a maximum of two parents/guardians per child and their sibling(s). Please note that students at Marion Carson School will have watched the dress rehearsal during the school day on December 14.  Other family members who can attend the rehearsals during the day are also encouraged to attend during this time to help reduce evening crowds. 
West Entry Doors will be opened 30 minutes before each evening performance and 15 minutes prior to dress rehearsals. If waiting outside, please line up down the sidewalk towards Varsity Drive. Please ensure that if you are driving to this event, you park in designated parking spaces, and avoid the staff parking lot or impacting any of our surrounding community homes. 
Dress Rehearsals on December 14, 2023: 
10:00am: Dress Rehearsal for 5:30pm evening performance
2:00pm: Dress Rehearsal for 7:30pm evening performance
