IMPORTANT CANDLELIGHT PARENT INFO!​
EARLY TICKET ACCESS
As always, the Candlelight Concert is free and is Staples’ gift to the community. Ticket "pre-sale" for Staples Music Families will begin on November 20 at 9:00am. Watch out for an email from us with the ticket pre-sale link.
CANDLELIGHT REHEARSAL DINNERS
Candlelight rehearsals are fast approaching. For the dress rehearsal on December 12, the SMPA will be sponsoring a pizza dinner. For all other evening rehearsals (12/2, 12/5, 12/9 and 12/10), students will be able to pre-order and purchase dinner, which will be delivered directly to the rehearsal. Dinners can be ordered by following this LINK. Students can also choose to bring their own food. Students are welcome to stay after school until rehearsal time. There will be an area set up for them to do homework and hangout.
