While the festival is a free event, the Karaoke musical starting at 2pm is $5 for adults and free for children/students. The Dragonfly story that follows at 3pm will be staged outside on the grass and is a whole school production in dance, song, music and art. This will be a real showcase of the dance and music through the year around the dragonfly theme. Activities follow including origami, face painting, wings, a dance workshop (toward the parade), poi twirling and slack line – all with a dragonfly element. Most of these are free activities and are being run by volunteers.
There will also be very lovely market stalls and food and drinks down on the ball court area. Emily and friends from Hands, Heart and Feet will join with high school to lead the Dragonfly Parade (now brought forward to 5:45pm). The evening of music (now brought forward to 6:45pm) is a rich array of musicians in our school community and this event will be hosted by Pete Worboys and opened by Emily with a participatory dance. The Dragonfly garden exhibition will also be a highlight with lots of wonderful entries. There will be a blackboard session for acoustic buskers.
THANK YOU to those people who have responded to our call for volunteers. We still need help with the parking in particular. 3 people in 1 hour spots are needed. Looking after parking is imperative in being respectful of our neighbours. Families of the school are asked to park away and walk in as per fairs and open days in order to keep the limited parking available to visitors. We are expecting lots of visitors!
On the day, if you see something that needs to be done, it would be greatly appreciated if you pitch in or at least alert Sarah Daniel (who is the on the day coordinator) or a teacher. There will be a teacher on general supervision through the day (not the evening) but it is important we all as a community, look out for the well being and safety of all.
We will send a programme next week so that you can see the full scope of happenings and line ups for activities and music. Invite family and friends for a GIANT of a DRAGONFLY FESTIVAL!!!!
