Notes:

·         Dancers must meet at the changing tent arrive at least 1 hour prior to their first routine time with hair and make-up done. (Ex.: Small Stars must arrive at school NO later than 2:00 pm.) I would like ALL Stars to be to all the routines to cheer on their team. All dancers must attend awards.

·         You will need to wear: your tan tights (NO underwear), a black team shirt or a plain black shirt or tank top, and your team warm-ups. We will be wearing our warm-ups for awards too. Please make sure your tights are free from holes and runs.

·         Please make sure you have ALL costumes and props before leaving for competition.

·         No admission fee for dancers. Spectators’ admission prices: $11/ person. If spectators are riding rides, they will need to be responsible for purchasing a ride pass. Dancers must either have their ride pass or their complimentary pass. If you want to purchase your spectator pass online please visit www.lagoonpark.com/tickets. Your will enter the promo code DANCE and click “GO” and it will give you options to buy spectator passes, discounted ride passes and discounted parking passes. Look for the “National Championship Discount passes” tab, buy your tickets online and print them out! You’re good to go!

·         We will be competing in the “Canyon” pavilion (see map). I have reserved the “Juniper” pavilion for just our studio. You will be able to bring coolers and drop them off at our pavilion. You can also bring your stuff there and leave it for the day. We will also have a large white tent that we will use to change into our costumes where you will leave your costumes and dance bags. You must meet at the pavilion an hour before performance time listed above. Any dancer that is late may not perform. We really need all dancers to be ready and on time for the magnitude of this performance. Also, I know that many of you will be riding rides, please do not tire yourself out so that you do not have enough energy to give each dance your all. You are welcome to bring a cooler with food and drinks. You will be responsible for your own food and drinks. 

·         I know we are at Lagoon, but please don’t let your dancers wear themselves out. They need to be rested and ready for competition!

If you DO NOT wear your practice outfit on Thursday’s, or wear only a part of it, you will receive a tardy for each week that you don’t wear it. If you need a new practice outfit, you can purchase one for $25. You are welcome to wear your warm-ups while you are warming up, but you will need to take them off after, so make sure you have your correct clothing on. You are welcome to wear tights as well, but it is not required. You must also have proper footwear. Socks or tights only are NOT allowed.
*Utah Jazz game: Here are more details about the Jazz game: ALL Stars dancers MUST meet at the studio by 3:30 pm with hair and make-up DONE. (You may need to pull your dancer from school early to make sure her hair and make-up is done on time.) Please wear your SHOW costume under your warm-ups. You may want to bring a shirt and underwear to wear under your warm-ups after we dance so you don’t have to sit in your costume and tights for the whole game. You should be able to bring in your duffle bag, but your hanging costume bag won’t be allowed in (you don’t need your hanging bag anyway). I DO want you to wear your warm-ups for the whole game, though. Make sure you bring your bottoms to your SHOW costume! We will leave the studio TOGETHER by 3:45 pm and carpool to the stadium. You may need to pay for parking. ALL dancers will need to help carry in props. Supers will carry their chair, and Star burst will help carry the boxes in, along with their canes. Parents, if you can help carry props, too that would be great! We will walk together as a group to the North side of the building to door #1. After we go in the dancers will be taken to get ready and spectators will be shown to their places where they will watch the performance. After the performance, you will find your seats for the rest of the game. I am not sure what we will do with the props, but we will figure it out. You will be responsible for hanging onto your bags throughout the game. I don’t know if they will have a place to store them or not. You will want to bring them to keep your costume and change of clothes in, though. They will fit under your seat. Remember that the Jazz game is on a Thursday, so it replaces our regular company day. It is also only 2 days before our next competition. As we get closer, there may be more info to pass along, so as soon as I find out more info, I’ll make sure to pass it along.

*Pictures: We will be doing our team pictures in our costume on May 10^th. We will also be doing outside Stars Team pictures on Saturday, May 12^th! We will be wearing blue jeans with either a white or black shirt (I will assign which color to wear), and red accents. Accents can be anything red. Ex: necklace, earrings, bracelet, hair bow, shoes, scarf, etc. Hair and make-up can be done however you would like, but please keep it out of your face. We will most likely do a morning photo shoot. Location and exact time are still under discussion with the photographer. You are welcome to purchase these pictures, but it is not mandatory. You will not be permitted to bring your own cameras and take pictures during the photo shoot. Prices and packages will be sent home in a few weeks.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!
