Tuesday Rehearsal Schedule 3:30-5:30

Saturday Rehearsal Schedule 9:00-2:00 + Lunch 11:30-Noon

TRANSPORTATION We will have county bus transportation (FREE!!) to these competitions: 3/8: SBCMEA 3/11: Travis Ranch 3/25: King of Champions 5/6: SCVA Since we have this transportation, unless you are going down the night before, I would prefer that the students ride the bus down. You can pick them up from there. Also, there is enough room for parents to ride the bus, so if you’d like to save gas money and stress, please let me know and I’ll add you to the count! MAKE-UP Just a reminder about make-up. Girls need to wear at least blush and lip stick on stage. If they wear eye shadow, it should be neutral colors (browns, beiges); no colors, please. Also, if they are wearing nail polish, it should be more of a natural color (pinks, nudes, etc.). Thanks. MAGICAL ROYAL BALL th The Magical Royal Ball is coming up in less than two weeks: Saturday, March 18 . We will need help with set-up, clean-up, and running various booths. (If you have a booth idea, please let Michelle know. We’d love to include it.) Set-up will begin at 11:00. All the girls need to attend to help. They can either “dress up” or wear their Altitude Adrenaline shirts. We need as much help as possible! (How much we earn at this will decide whether or not we go to the Knott’s Berry Farm competition.) SEE’S CANDY SALES The See’s Candy Fund Raiser has begun. Candy will be delivered before Easter, so this is a great way to help us raise the funds we need to finish out the remainder of the year. (We make the most money on the Easter eggs and Easter candy box.) Michelle will be giving each student an order form today so please ask your student about it.
