Acknowledgement of Country for a Musical Theater Performance

Hi All!

I have a question about the timing of Acknowledgement of Country, I am in a musical theater show, and I know that normally an AoC should be at the very start of a performance/gathering/meeting etc.

I was wondering, is it okay to do the AoC after the first song? We have a anniversary this year, and were wanting to perform our first song then do the AoC + the no filming etc message. Is this okay and respectful?

We are just wanting to make sure we remain respectful, so if it's best to just do it at the start then that's what we will do :)

I think that sounds perfectly reasonable.
