Nick: Good morning everyone. Happy Sunday! Now that we've all had a chance to wrap up auditions and get ourselves a little more put together, the time has come for me to reach out and start getting our practices organized.
Nick: So, let's talk a little more about how this is going to work. Group practices will take place Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays generally. Practices will take place from 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM in the Dance Studio.
Nick: Each week, solos, duets, and trios will be assigned based on the previous week's performance as well as effort put in at practice and attitude. Anyone assigned one of these pieces will be expected to attend two additional practices each week, taking place Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM.
Nick: We will be attending competitions every Saturday. Some will be local or in-state, some will be out-of-state. For in-state competitions, we will be leaving at 7:00 AM /sharp/ the morning of each competition. For those held out-of-state, we will be leaving /Friday evenings/- the times will be announced prior to leaving. During these times, the group practice normally held on Fridays will be moved to 5:00 PM /Thursday evenings/.
Nick: I will be releasing a Competition Schedule a little later today, but what I can go ahead and say is that our first competition will be held /right here/ at Dalton! Practices will begin /tomorrow evening/, so be prepared!
Nick: To kick things off, we will be performing a group number, obviously. Genevieve Sterling will be performing a lyrical solo, Levi Hummel will be performing a jazz solo, Campbell Clarington and Mason McCarthy will be performing a duet, and Levi, Mason, and Jeff Sterling will be performing a trio. We're starting out on an even playing field here, so everyone will get the chance to have their talents highlighted.
Nick: Anyone with questions, don't hesitate to contact myself, Genevieve, or Mason! Thanks guys! I'll look forward to seeing everyone at practice.
