Jumping into the new year

After accidentally sending everyone to the wrong park for the parent meeting, we were finally able to get together to kick off the new year.  I must have been having a bad night because I forgot to take pictures of the team building activities.  The few pictures that were taken can be seen under the page 2015-16 Opening Social.

In case you missed the meeting, we went over a list of different stores where you can purchase dancewear.  We will be sending out an email that has that information. 

We are in the process of putting in an application to perform at Walt Disney World in the spring.  To help offset the costs, we need your help with fundraisers.  Those that help with each fundraiser will be able to apply the money towards their tour.

The Curtis family is putting together a carwash tentatively on Saturday, July 18.  We are looking for another adult to be in charge of another carwash on a different day and different location.  More information will be coming in an email.

A Golf Tournament will be held on Friday, August 7.  Each student needs to get at least 1 sponsor and 2 golfers.  Forms will be included in the email as well as information on the silent auction.

We will run a concessions booth during the BYU football games again this year.  The team captains will be sending out a google doc for signups. 

Watch your email for all the information that is going to be coming.  Students need to accept Gil Lamoureux's Facebook friend request so they can be added to the Ballroom Facebook group.  Working together we can make great things happen.  It's going to be a fantastic year!

Spring Concert

Our spring concert will be held Wednesday, May 20 and Thursday May 21 at 6:30 pm in the Lone Peak High School auditorium.  Admission is $4 for students/senior citizens and $5 for adults.  The team has had an amazing year and are looking forward to showcasing their talent!

2014-2015 ballroom tryouts

Tryouts for the 2014-2015 ballroom team will be held on Wednesday, March 19 and Thursday, March 20 from 4:00 - 6:00 pm in the small gym.  Tryouts will be open to all students that will be in 9th - 12th grade next school year.

Wednesday will begin at 4:00 pm with a parent meeting that will last approximately 30 minutes.  All parents and students wishing to tryout are strongly encouraged to attend.  After the meeting, students will stay to learn and practice a couple of dance numbers.  Guys are encouraged to wear a dance shoe or a church shoe.  Girls should wear a dance shoe or a shoe with a heel.

Thursday tryouts will begin at 4:00 pm  in the small gym.  Guys should wear church pants, white shirt and tie with a dance shoe or church shoe.  NO SNEAKERS!  Girls should wear a skirt - preferably black - that does not go all the way to the floor.  Girls should wear a dance shoe or a shoe with a heel and have their hair pulled back.

If you have a conflict with either date, please send an email to Kayti at kaytipatterson@gmail.com to make other arrangements.

Next year the ballroom class will be held during A1 (7:45 - 8:55 on Mondays and 7:45 - 9:09 the other days).  Those that need to travel back to other schools after class will be let out early so they can change and make it back to their school on time.  There will be some early morning practices on A days, so if you are scheduling early morning seminary or other early morning classes, schedule those for B days.

Good luck!
