IMPORTANT MUSICFEST INFO
♫ Welcome to Capital Region Musicfest at Hillcrest High School ♫
We are so excited to be hosting you in just a few short weeks! Here are a few tips that will help everyone have an enjoyable festival experience;
1. PERFORMER DROP OFF. Please use the doors on the North side of the school for performer drop off. The North side of the school is is the driveway that runs along the football field, nearest Smyth Road. It is the very first driveway to your right off Dauphin Road. Festival check in, storage and warm up are all located just inside the Northside doors. Hillcrest is a large school and students who are dropped off at the main door by mistake will have a long walk with all of their gear - sometimes with no guide available.The doors on the North Side are also the drop off point for ensembles travelling by bus. This ensures that no busses have to back up or turn around, as they can simply drop students and then continue around the school, leaving on the opposite (south) side to depart or park on Dauphin Rd.
2. To Facilitate performer drop-off, there will be NO PARKING on the North Side of the school. There is ample parking available at the back of the school and a large parking lot on the South side of the school. Overflow parking is available on surrounding streets in accordance with local bylaws. No parking will be allowed in the entry driveway to the school as it is a fire lane. No parking zones will be strictly enforced for everyone's safety.
3. Wheelchair Accessibility. Please note that there are steps at the front door of the school. Hillcrest has two handicapped parking spots, a wheel chair ramp and accessible doors to the right of the main entrance. If you are in front of the school on Dauphin Rd, enter the circular driveway but stop at the top of the first 'leg'. (You will see a very large, white, garage door to your right, and the main doors to the school will be on your left). Please note that we do not have an elevator. Performances, Photos and Clinic are on the main floor. The entrance to the clinic does have a set of internal stairs.
4. Schools that have more than one band performing and wish to remain at the school for multiple performances or longer periods of time may eat in the cafeteria if they wish. You may bring food or purchase it from our Musicfest canteen. No food consumption in the storage area please. Students who wish to watch other ensembles perform may make their way to the auditorium to be respectful audience members.
5. We have an excellent canteen on site in the front foyer of the school that will be open all day and in the evenings. The canteen only accepts cash.
Thanks!
