I looked at last year’s March News - it said that the great thaw had begun. I think we’re behind this year…

• GEM STATE CLASSIC! March 23, 24, 25: Thunder Ridge High School, Idaho Falls. 4941 1st Street. Dancers will have to miss school!. This was noted in the registration form to make sure all parents are aware of this. Thursday March 23: — Pre-Teen and Pre-Juniors. Teams in the morning, Syllabus and Open in the early afternoon — Junior Syllabus and Open in the afternoon — National Cabaret in the evening (couples) Friday March 24: — Junior Teams — Senior (Youth) Teams — TEAM MATCH!
Saturday March 25 — Youth (senior team age) Syllabus — Youth Opens in the evening _______________________________________ • PICTURE WEEK: March 27 - 30. No regular classes. Pictures will be taken on the same day that the teams meet to avoid conflict with other activities. It won’t be exactly during the same time as their team. Some teams might have a make-up class, we’ll let you know for sure. The picture schedule will be sent separately. LOOKING AHEAD: April 14, Madison Middle School Show 11:00, 1:00. The Comp Team and Coco lift will be in both shows. All other teams will be in just one of the shows, schedule sent later. April 29, Spring Concert: All day, Madison HS Auditorium. This is a BIG day for the dancers. There will be 3 shows in the afternoon/evening, and also stage practices and a full company finale rehearsal. 3:00: Pre-Teens/Pre-Jrs/Pee Wees 5:00: Full Company - all teams 7:30: Junior and Senior teams June 26-29. IBA Summer Camp. This is the final date. We know there are conflicts - but this is the best date for the school and coaches. TO BE THINKING ABOUT:
Parent Dance in Concert: This year is the MOTHER-SON dance for Boys and their Moms. These parent dances are every other year for the boys/girls. This is not mandatory - but we hope you will consider creating this fun memory with your dancer. The practices will be in the evenings in April. We’ll send out a sign-up later this month. Graduating Seniors: In the Spring Concert we will honor our graduating Seniors by having them perform the closing number, lead into the finale, and take the final bow. They will be learning and practicing the routine in-between Gold Team and Comp Team on Wednesdays (during the tech class time slot).
Happy March! Good Luck this month! And hope for warmer days!!
