Courtesy Concert Rules

1. To save a seat early, you must be seated in the seat. You may not save seats with jackets and bags ahead of time.

(The first three rows are reserved for the Starry Night bidders – you too can bid for a seat for next year’s concert at a future Starry Night.)

2. Listen to the piano prelude that starts at 6:00 PM. These kids work hard to learn to play. Even though many will be entering at the time the kids are playing, they would appreciate an audience and some applause.

3. No one wants you to hold up a phone or camera so that it blocks their view. Please be respectful of the people behind you.

(Pictures and recordings are hard to get in the church so sit back and enjoy the performance.)

4. Keep all items and small children out of the aisles – we will be using them as part of our concert and need them clear. No strollers or baby baskets in aisle.

We have room for two wheelchairs up front. Call ahead to reserve these spots if needed.

5. Small children need to be seated, not standing on the bench or held up high so that the people behind you cannot see around a child sticking up over the regular crowd. We love the little children but it is annoying to those behind you.

The 1:00 show is less crowded and easier to move around with small children or cameras.

Covid protocols for our concerts

1. Stay home if ill or have symptoms  – Coughing and nose blowing are symptoms and you should not be seated in the midst of the crowd. If you attend with negative test results but have these symptoms, sit alone on the edges so you do not frustrate others.

2. Spread out. Our church has a large space. The students will occupy the back of the church as they await their time to perform.

3. Masking – In accordance with Archbishops Hebda’s request to the parishes and schools, it is recommended that people wear masks at large indoor events such as our concerts. We encourage the audience to mask and stay masked during the concerts this week.  The school children will not be masked to perform unless it is a family choice.

4. Use hand sanitizer – we recommend that you bring your own and sanitize when you enter and exit the concert. Sanitizer is also located at the entry.

Club House

Closed over Christmas Break

What is a class basket?
The Starry Night committee picks a theme for each class. Then we ask for small items to be purchased for the basket. One item for every child in the class is appreciated. It will be bid on from the silent auction tables and online options.

You can buy an item anywhere or use the links below to pick an item – similar items are fine! We take any donation! See the class themes below.

Covid Home Tests
If your child has been exposed, test about 5 days after exposure or at the first sign of symptoms. If negative and symptoms continue then test again a few days later.

Help Wanted: Sellers of the Pot-O-Gold tickets

We need 2-3 parents per class who can help sell these tickets.  If you work in a spot with lots of people (or those willing to take a chance on a ticket) or have lots of family gathering over the holidays, please take a book or two to sell. We have 650 tickets to sell by June.

Please help us out!
If each family could sell two/three tickets, then we would have most of them sold.
