FIRST-TIME GUIDE
YOUR FIRST QCBB CONCERT
Never been to a QCBB concert, or perhaps any concert before? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. From what to wear to when to arrive, these simple tips will help you enjoy the experience.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Any clean clothes are acceptable, but dressing up a little can help enhance the atmosphere.
WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?
Concerts begin promptly at the advertised time. Please be seated a few minutes beforehand. Doors open 30 minutes before the concert. Use the main entrance on Lorne Street.
CAN I BRING CHILDREN?
Yes, please! Music is for everyone, and children of all ages are welcome. Keep in mind that the band produces a big sound that may startle the youngest listeners.
IS IT ACCESSIBLE?
Knox Metropolitan United Church has an accessible entrance ramp just east of the Victoria Avenue doors. Accessible seating is available on the main floor.
HOW LONG IS A CONCERT?
QCBB concerts vary slightly in length, but you can usually expect at least 90 minutes and rarely more than two hours.
CAN I BUY TICKETS AT THE DOOR?
Absolutely. Tickets are available at the door by cash, debit or credit card. Buying online ahead of time can save you a minute when you arrive.
WHAT A CONCERT FEELS LIKE
WHAT DOES A QCBB CONCERT FEEL LIKE?
A musical rollercoaster of an evening. Expect highs and lows as the music moves from a slow piece to a highly energetic composition. Our director programs concerts to offer variety in musical expression and emotion.
