- Where: SunCorp Stadium (Reds vs Bulls)
- Timetable:
- 5.15pm I'll arrive with car & trailer, start unloading instruments
- 5.30pm you guys meet at boom gate, go to dress room for face painting
- 6.00pm - 7.00pm we play at Northern Plaza (Caxton Street end - this has changed). Some breaks in between 'sets'. I have requested NOT to play on both sides - too tiring
- 7.15pm - ready to play in stadium
- 7.30pm - kick-off, play during 1st and 2nd half
- Dress code - we'll get (new) Reds shirts, please wear black pants. This time we'll take the shirts home for use in next games
- No car parking unfortunately except for me and the trailer. The Reds does not have the arrangement with the car park opposite the stadium like Roar, unfortunately
- This time, no tickets available for guests, unfortunately. If anyone really needs one let me know though
- In case of rain we will seek shelter to protect instruments and fragile sambistas
- In case of a win, we hang around until the team leaves the field (I stuffed that up last time)
- Rehearsal this week and next week (15 and 22 April) will be free for all! Those people not playing on Saturday can buy me and other performers a beer ;-)

Some points that I feel I have to make, reluctantly:
- Of course, please be on time: 5.30pm sharp. Not 5.35pm, please plan ahead. As always we have to get in as a group because of security issues.
- As you all know, no one in the samba school is required to play at gigs. If you do, fantastic, if not, that's really OK. I never put real pressure on people to play at a gig. However, once you have confirmed you play at a gig, I do expect you to be there. Of course this is because of the commitments we have as a group to the organiser, and to each other. Last minute cancellations certainly don't amuse me, and add to the level of stress during the gig, which makes it less enjoyable for everyone. Of course, legitimate reasons are OK.
- If you are playing at a gig (any gig), I expect you to be there for the full length of the gig, and not walk out in the middle of the event, unless agreed with me. Certainly not without discussing this with me. I feel such behaviour really lets the team down.
I look forward to playing again this Saturday, it has been too long already! And, there's more gigs coming up soon, as you know!
I will confirm who plays what instrument later this week by editing this post.
Any questions, let me know!
