Welcome GS 2023-1

We are delighted to welcome you to the 2024 cast of Cardiff Scout & Guide Gang Show! The standard of those at auditions this year was incredibly high, so you should be proud! We can't wait to see you at our first rehearsal soon. Make sure you (or your parent) takes a look at the important information below.
Team GS

Here are some things requiring your action to complete the registration process:

  • Attend the first rehearsal: Tuesday 18th June, 6:45-8:45pm at Highfields Church, Monthermer Rd, Cathays, Cardiff CF24 4QW.

We appreciate that there are multiple big events/ concerts in Cardiff on Tuesdays in June. Please allow extra time, and let us know if you are attending one of these events.

A parent/guardian of each under-18 Cast Member must attend a meeting during the first rehearsal, starting at 7pm. Lots of vital information will be given for around 30 minutes. It is also an opportunity for cast members and parents to meet members of the team and ask questions about the show.

  • Activity Fee: All Cast Members are required to pay a subscription fee of £45 by 9th July. If there is a difficulty with this, please ask to speak to a member of the Management Team, in confidence. Please see our bank account details below:

Speaking roles, solo parts, dance team auditions

If a Cast Member would like to put themselves forward for a speaking part, solo singing part, or to participate in a specific dance, they will be required to attend an additional audition on Saturday 6th July, 10-3pm.

Save the date; more information will follow.

General points for rehearsals:

  • Cast need to wear comfortable, casual clothes for rehearsals with appropriate footwear (black daps or dance shoes) so that they can dance and move easily. Uniform is not required unless specifically requested. Bringing a water bottle is also required. We do run a tuck shop, so a small amount of change may also be useful.
  • Cast members are expected to attend all rehearsals, and definitely all of the performances. Please make every effort to be on time, allowing us to make the most of the rehearsal, ensuring that cast members don't miss too much of the content needed to perform the show.
  • Understandably, there may be some dates Cast cannot make. Please let us know in advance which rehearsal dates cast may be unable to attend. As Gang Show is a part of Scouts and Girlguiding, missing rehearsals for Scout/ Guide nights away is permitted for events which young people have already been registered. Please note from September to November, Gang Show will need to be a priority.
  • Please register any absences using this quick form. Please let us know ASAP: https://cardiffgangshow.co.uk/ninja-forms/25kdij
  • Cast Members must be a member of Scouts or Girlguiding. If a member of the cast ceases their membership of Scouts or Girlguiding, they will be unable to continue with the show.
