Kids concert and wedding next week, feeling frazzled

My child's in a singing concert with a local group she attends. She's 6 nearly 7.i originally had reservations about her doing it as its rehersal until 9pm tomorrow night and then the following 3 nights until 9.30. She won't be going to bed til 10.30. She is not good with sleep. She will wake up early whatever time she goes to bed. School will be a nightmare. I was told that she could leave in the interval but had to stay til 9.30 on the last night.
So I said OK she can do it.
I've found out today that they don't really like kids leaving early as it creates a lot of faff for them. So basically I was mis informed in the first place. Had I known this I wouldn't have signed her up for it.
I also had reservations at the time as I am due to get married next week and I thought that's going to be stressful enough!! Now am just panicking that she's going to be really struggling (tired , meltdowns because shes tired, not concentrating at school)and I'm stressing that I've got no time to do last min wedding prep.

Really don't know what to do. Partner says just get her at interval if they don't like it tough. However I don't know when the interval will be and can't see that they will be forthcoming in giving that info seeing as they don't really want her to go then.

I know it doesn't sound much but with getting married too just feel so overwhelmed. Don't want to disappoint my dd.

I'd get her at the interval if they said that was ok. Are there other young ones like your DD? 9.30pm as a one off maybe, but multiple nights during the school week seems too much for a 6 year old.

Congratulations on getting married 🌸🌸

They just said the ones under 6 can't legally stay any later. But there will be other 6 to 7 year olds. I don't know when the interval will be though. I did think of asking can she just do 2 of the nights but can't see that going down well. Her teacher I thought was a bit off with me when I said I'd need to get her at the interval as that's what I had been originally told.

Just get her at the interval.
Ask them what time it will be. It isn't difficult.

If anyone says we don't want 6 year olds collected at the interval say tough, that was what we were told would be happening when we agreed for her to be taking part.

She can’t be the only one. I would continue with getting at the interval.

Tell them you’ll be collecting her at the interval and if they can’t facilitate that then you’re very sorry but she won’t be there at all.

have a lovely wedding day x
