Happy Holidays!!

Greetings everyone!!

I wanted to leave you all with a little bit of information about the spring before we break for the holiday. I passed out 2 copies of the January/February calendar this morning. This calendar has practices, basketball games, and contest dates on it.

Solo/Duet Information
  • Solos & Duets must be approved by Friday, January 14th
  • Fees must be paid to the cashier (after approval) by Thursday, January 20th
  • You only have to pay for the first contest by January 20th, I will have a later date in February for when fees are due for the second contest
  • Solo fees - $75/contest
  • Duet fees - $120/contest
  • Solo/duet music must be appropriate; you must also provide a quality "cut" version
  • Remember you must receive a Division I on your Solo/Duet in order to perform it at spring show
Here are the rules regarding solos (from ADTS website):

Solos: Minimum 90 seconds/Maximum 2 minutes. If the solo routine exceeds 2 minutes and 15 seconds. soloists will be ineligible for solo finals.

Ensemble/DUET Time Limits:
2 1/2 minute time limit for ensembles that are divided into duets (2 performers), small (3 to 5 performers), medium (6-12 performers), or large (13-20 performers) ensembles. Any routine over 2:45 will be penalized.

**Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding solo/duet information!!

The spring semester will be very busy and exciting for the Kangarettes!! We will be EXTREMELY busy as soon as we return in January, so be prepared to work and focus at practices everyday. Being here and being ON TIME will make a big difference in our preparation for contest season. I'm really looking forward to contest season, we are going to ROCK :)

I hope that everyone has a wonderful break!! Have fun and be safe :) See you in 2011!!!

Update- Thursday Breakfast

Ok everyone... here are more details about the teacher breakfast on Thursday morning (I discussed this with the girls at practice tonight):

Each squad will be responsible for an item. Each person in the squad needs to bring 2-3 dozen of their assigned item so that we have enough to feed all the teachers and staff. Make sure you have discussed specifics with your social officer.
  • Danyelle's Dots -- Burritos (I will let you know tomorrow how much $$ each person will owe for these)
  • Mariah's M & M's -- Juices (2-3 large containers each)
  • Rachel's Red Hots -- Pastries/Muffins
  • Chloe's Cotton Candy -- Fruit/Yogurt
I will bring all the plates/napkins/cutlery/cups.

Be in the KHS cafeteria with your item @ 7:30 am. Come dressed and ready. We will set up, serve breakfast, perform the kick routine, clean up, and then go home. You should be able to leave by 9:00 am.

Thank you!!
