Class Act Handbook 2012-2013 - Pacific Symphony

Additional Tips:
Please do not bring backpacks, lunches, cameras, or any recording devices into the
concert.
If your school is sending volunteers for Class Act on the same day as the concert your
school attends, the parent chaperones who attend the concert with your school cannot be
the volunteers your school provides for Class Act.
Due to concert logistics, there may be extended periods of time where your students are
seated on the bus, or in hallways at the RHSCH. We suggest instructors have quiet
activities in mind, such as reading, for their students during this time. Some teachers have
brought small snacks for the students and distributed the snacks while the students are
waiting outside in line before or after the concert. Please note: no snacks may be
consumed in the concert hall.
You may find it helpful to create a system for your students attending the concerts. For
example, labeling all children with matching name badges, or having everyone wear
matching clothing. Other schools have paired their older students with younger students in
a buddy system.
Some parents choose to drive their students to the concert, rather than having the student
ride the bus. The Pacific Symphony cannot be responsible for reimbursing parents for this
parking cost.
Please note: Failure to arrive at the designated remote-bussing check-in location 1
hour prior to the concert start time may cause your school to miss part of or the entire
concert. Late entrance into the concert is at the discretion of the Class Act staff and
House Management. Schools late to the 10am concert may not be given the opportunity
to register for the 10am concert next year. Schools consistently late to Youth Concerts
may not be regularly rotated through lower seating levels of the concert hall, as late
seating on these levels causes a great disturbance to other patrons of the concert.
