All students will need to bring an instrument. If you do not have access to an instrument please get in touch with dpa.cs@dudley.gov.uk and we will make arrangements for you.
There is a waiting area in Resonance for parents but you do not need to stay on site - feel free to use the hour to pop into the Merry Hill centre or get some food at one of the bars.
On arrival DPA staff will collect students from the reception area and take them to the rehearsal room. The rehearsal space isn't large enough for parents sadly but if you go on to join one of our groups there will be loads of opportunities for you to see your children perform.
Children can be collected at 6pm from the reception area and if you have gone off site please make sure you are back in time to collect your child.
