If you have a conflict with any of these dates, let us know ASAP!

Please clear your ENTIRE weekend for the competition. Unfortunately, the competitions will not advise us as to our performances times until a week before each competition. Therefore, it is impossible for us to know when your child will perform – it could be any time! Competitions are MANDATORY. That is the entire purpose of joining the team – to compete. There will be consequences for any member that does not attend a competition and will be determined at the discretion of the directors.

Also we normally don't do jazz at the first competition of the season. However, since the first competition is at the end of March this season, we will be performing ALL routines at ALL competitions. This additional entry fee was not figured into your accounts. Therefore, all members of the team who perform a jazz routine will need to pay an additional $38 to cover the cost of this entry. We ask that you take of this charge before January 31, 2012. If you need to make different arrangements, please let us know.

A big THANK YOU to everyone for their cooperation & patience. The kids have been working hard and we anticipate another great season! Keep an eye on the competition website for this and other information as the season approaches!

Thanks again! –
Mr. Jay & Ms. Jamie
