The Venue:

The venue Dosey Doe is a vintage 1840s barn that has been transformed into a multilevel music venue with food and drinks serving. This 165-year-old historical structure has been saved for its current purpose. Originally built as a tobacco barn in Kentucky, the 300-600-year-old growth oak and birch massive beams are the foundation not only for a beautiful room for also for great acoustics. It is a place where memories are made.

No need to run from the restaurant to the music hall, as here you have it all. So, parents, friends, and relatives are invited to enjoy the recital while you are tasting the cooked from scratch based on the season. Come hungry!  The venue serves delicious food and drinks for all ages. We ask that you show support for the venue so we will be invited back.

Time:

Refer to the tables below for the start times of each group and your ETP.

Please be aware that upon your arrival, you may need to wait at the door until your table is ready. At the end of your group’s session, we kindly ask that you leave the venue

ETP: Estimated Time of performance. It is a rough estimate only for reference.

Recitals can be tremendously fun and valuable experiences for young musicians. 

Here are the guidelines and etiquettes all performers and audience should follow during our Winter Wonderland Recital 2024.

Performers

• Please arrive 10 minutes before your group stars.
• Please ensure your student brings their books and their instrument, already tuned.
• Wear a comfortable and appropriate attire.
• No need to get new clothes. Just choose what you already have on hand, remember that proper attire shows respected to your audience, as well as yourself, and what you have accomplished. It is a good idea to practice in your outfit, shoes included (no platform shoes, open-toed shoes, sandals or flip flops).
• Girls should not be wearing dangling or jingling jewelry which could get tangled or catch, and sleeves, hair, on the instrument during the performance.
• Performers can bow at the beginning and at the end of the performance.
• Once it is your turn, rise quickly and walk up to the stage. Adjust the bench or your instrument, pause and collect your thoughts…and begging when you are ready.
• Please respect the other performers. 
• We ask cell phones and other gadgets be placed on silence to avoid interruptions during the showcase.

Audience Members

• Arrive a little early in order to find a comfortable place to sit.
• Silence all cell phones and any electrical devices that may produce sound.
• The best way to show appreciation for the performance is with thunderous applause, and an occasional “bravo” at the end of an especially noteworthy performance. It is a great accomplishment for each student.
• Please stay until the performance or event (Your Group) is completely over. Families are asked to stay for the entire recital unless there is an emergency. It is considered as disrespectful and rude to leave an ongoing  music performance.

This is a celebration of each student’s hard work. Be sure to tell your student how proud you are.

It’s Vacation time…so be prepared to celebrate it!

Thank you
