Applause for the conductor and orchestra is welcome at this time. • Throughout the concert, applause is also welcome after each piece. You will know when it is time to applaud when the conductor lowers his arms and turns to face the audience. • Students may also be asked to participate at various times throughout the concert. Please listen closely to instructions given from the stage. • Out of courtesy to your neighbors, please do not talk during the performance. • Flash photography, audio recording and video recording are not permitted during the concert. • Please make sure all electronic devices are switched off during the performance.

The Fine Print
Parent! If you are unable to attend the field trip, you are welcome to make arrangements for a grandparent or another LCA parent to act as chaperone for your child(ren). Your student doesn’t have to miss out because you cannot attend! Let’s help each other out so the maximum number of students can have the field trip experience!
Waiver: Your family must have a signed Field Trip Waiver on file. One waiver covers the entire school year. Include anyone in your family (parent, grandparent, student) who might attend a field trip during the school year.
Commit: Your online registration is your 100% commitment to attend the field trip. Venues staff according to the number of people we tell them are coming. Thank you for respecting the venue and keeping LCA’s good reputation in the community. Unless you have an illness or emergency, we will see you there!
CONDUCT: Parents are responsible for their children (regardless of age) AT ALL TIMES. No students should be left anywhere unattended! LCA family conduct while on FTs must be above reproach. Not only are we representing LCA in public, but we are also witnesses for Christ to a non-believing world.
NOTE: It is impossible to predict every scenario that may or may not happen while on a field trip. THANK YOU for being patient, flexible, and gracious!
