Dear Parents & Caregivers,
We are pleased to provide you with the following details regarding the OneBigVoice Festival at the RAC Arena on Friday 29 August, 2025. This has been planned to support the St Dominic’s School Choir by providing them with the opportunity to sing uplifting and fun songs on a large scale, with other students who love music. We will be catching the train to the RAC Arena, participating in the rehearsal and performance, then students will need to be picked up from the Arena after the show.

Pack one of each option with a GREEN label. Use disposable packaging. Mrs Bathols will provide a labelled lunch bag for your child.
PICK UP:
Once the concert is finished, schools are sent out in groups. Watch the screen to see when St Dominic’s has been sent out, and then go to the pickup point to collect your child. All students must be picked up by an adult from INSIDE the RAC Arena.
TICKETS:
Concert tickets go on sale on Tuesday 17 July at 10am. They need to be purchased from Ticketek. St Dominic’s School is in Section B2. You can purchase tickets for Section B so you can see your child. A seating map is attached and the link to purchase tickets is below. Be sure to select the 6:15pm show.

SEATING MAP:
Choose your seats from the whole of Section B (the green section). You will still be able to see the choir, even if you are not directly in front of B2.
CHOIR MEETING:
On Thursday 26th June, I will hold a meeting after school from 3:00pm – 3:20pm. I will go through the plan for the OneBigVoice performance and answer any questions you have.
If you have any questions or feel that the proposed excursion may raise issues relevant to your child’s safe and full participation, please contact me to discuss these further.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Donna Bathols
Music Teacher
