Salzburg - Most of the rehearsal time is indoors
- We may do a little light walking to points of interest
- You may want to do some early morning jogging
- You will need to look smart for the concert and the meal afterwards
- Luggage allowance 20kg for suitcase + I piece of hand luggage
- You will need to be able to carry/trundle your own case
Clothes
- Go for layers
- Avoid jeggings/leggings and shorts – the photos in the booklet show that the dress code is more conservative than that in
Manchester - Avoid anything too revealing/off the shoulder
- Keep it simple
