Overlapping Students: we have so many students in families that it is impossible to put all family members in the same show. We have done the best we can and can not make any changes as to which show your child is in. The chance to perform in front of an audience means so much to these dancers, remember it is only one night and your positive attitude, as parents will make such an impact on the way this evening runs. Thank You! Performance Fees and Costume Fees: Please write your class letter or students name on all checks!! We only need envelopes for cash! Regular Classes should have paid their $35.00 Performance Fee in October; if that has not been paid please get it in A.S.A.P. (a $10.00 late fee must be added). $50.00 Costume Fees need to be paid by November 7th or late fees will be added. $17.00 for Tumbling Shorts is now due for tumblers who need them and tumblers please pay your $15.00 Insurance Fee. All Teams need to refer to your team note for fees or payment plans. NO costumes will be given unless they are paid for and your account is current. (this includes warm-ups). Notes are being sent out; if your account is past due your dancer will sit out!!! **FYI: ACH payments take at least 2 business days to clear your accounts! ShowTime: Sometimes your childs teacher may want their hair and or make-up done a certain way; if they do they will send home individual class notes. If no specifics are mentioned, then this is our basic rule of thumb, please wear at least blush and lipstick for the Christmas shows this helps your child show up more on stage. Hair should be clean, curled and have the sides pulled up and secured out of their face. Accessories will be passed out soon. If you have any questions about these your teacher will be able to help you. After your child performs their class helper will gather up Accessories and take the children to get a treat! WE NEED ALL PERFORMERS TO STAY THROUGHOUT THE ENITRE SHOW!!! It is not fair to the dancers if the audience dwindles as the show progresses. Each child deserves an audience for all of their hard work. Please remember that accessories belong to the dancing school. DO NOT take them home with you the night of the show. We need all of our accessories and ask that you be honest in returning them back to the studio. Dress Rehearsals: will be held in your childs class on the following days: Tue. Dec.6th Wed. Dec. 7th Thurs. Dec.8th and Mon. Dec. 12th. NO DRESS REHEARSALS at Taylorsville High School. Please have your child wear their Christmas costume and accessories to class the day of their dress rehearsal. Please have the appropriate tights & shoes, wear hair the way you have been told by your teachers at class or in this newsletter. Parents will be allowed to watch in class the last 5-10 minutes. Please do not be late to class on this night. Sweatshirts: are for Combo Classes these will also be passed out soon. We did order a few extra so if your child didnt order one and you need one please call Denise Haslam at 631-5789. And we will see if we still have one to sell. Days off for the rest of 2010!
