Lone Peak Competition Schedule

Parents and Students,

Okay, here it is!

Call time: 12:30pm
Performance time: 2:35pm
Awards: 6:07pm
Dismissed: approx. 6:30pm

Please arrive at Lone Peak in full hair and makeup with your uniform in a garment bag. Please make sure that you have everything ready the night before and that your equipment is properly taken care of before you arrive. For example, if your end cap has broken through, we should get that fixed before! 

Parents, we got most of our spots filled for the bus rides, but we just need one more spot for Championships on Saturday at Copper Hills. It's only about a 45 minute ride there and 45 minutes back, it will also be a little bit shorter day! Thanks for all you do!

Weekly Update 2/28

Parents and Students,

Thank you so much for an amazing Family Night show! It was so fun to watch you ladies perform! We are on the home stretch of our season, so let's keep the momentum going! Here is this weeks schedule.

Mon: 6-7:45am AFJH New Gym
Wed: 6-7:45am AFJH New Gym
3:30-5:30pm AFHS North Gym
Saturday: Performance at Lone Peak

I will send the detailed schedule for Saturday in a separate email for you. Also, ALL 8th graders, please keep in mind that field auditions are coming up in April. I tried to invite either you or your parents on Facebook to the event, but if I missed you, they are on April 14th and 21st from 4-7pm at American Fork High School. Please keep in mind, that if you plan on doing any winter season in the future, you have to do field show. It's super fun anyway! I'll see you all there!

Family Night Schedule

Parents and Students, 

I'm so sorry that this email is long over due. For family night on Friday, I have already told the students pretty much everything that we will be doing, but it is always good to have a written copy for reference. So, here is the schedule for Friday.

Call time- 5:45 pm at American Fork High School

You need to be in full hair and makeup with your uniform completely on. Please make sure to iron it before you put it on!

Performance time: 7pm. 

We need everyone to be in there seats by 7:00. Preferably 10 minutes prior so that we can start right at 7. We anticipate this to be approx. one hour long. 

Tickets are $2 at the door for all friends and family. 

I don't yet know where you will meet me. For right now, let's just meet in the band room and we will find a practice area from there. I will keep you updated if anything changes.

Thank you for your patience!

Saturday at American Fork High School

Parents and Students,

I finally received the Saturday schedule! Woohoo! So, here is our schedule.

Call Time @ AFHS- 11:45am 
Performance Time- 1:44pm
Excused- Approx. 5:45pm

When you show up on Saturday I need you in full hair and makeup with your uniform in your garment bag. Please do not have it on, I don't want it to get wrinkly from you sitting on it in the car. We will meet in the Band Room at American Fork High School and then as a team, we will go drop our stuff off in the Midi lab and proceed from there. 

Friendly reminder that your hair needs to be pulled away from your face. Even if its neatly curled or straightened. I don't want it to get in your way while you are spinning.

After we perform, we will head back to the midi lab and change, talk about the show and then as a team we will head back to the stands to watch. I may need to help run a few things at the show, I'm not sure yet, and may need parents to sit with the team again so if you are interested or available, please let me know!

I have been receiving a few emails and messages regarding Saturday and wanting students to leave early. For future reference, as a student you have to stay through awards. I know things come up and we can discuss those circumstances as they arise, but I would like you to keep your schedule as open as possible on competition days. It is crucial that we support other teams in the circuit, whether they are in our division or not. 

Last item of business. We need one parent to ride to and from our Northridge Competition on March 12th as well as Championships on March 25-26th. We will be sharing the bus with our Cadet guard so space will be comfortable. It will probably just be enough room for one parent from our guard and one parent from the Cadet guard. Thank you thank you in advance!

Update 2/14

Parents and Students,

Happy Valentines and a big hey from Florida! This week we are cleaning a lot, so please be prepared Wednesday morning and afternoon with your brains on. We also have a show on Saturday at American Fork High School which makes this Wednesday afternoon mandatory. We have been having some sickness go around in the guard, so get your vitamins and your rest! A healthy guard is a happy guard! 

So, here is the schedule!

Mon No rehearsal! Yay!
Wed 6-7:45am AFJH New Gym
3:30-5:30pm AFHS North Gym
Sat SHOW at AFHS.

I don't yet know the call time for Saturday. The scheduler for shows is out of town and should have it prepared in the next day or two. I do know that we are the second in our division to perform and the competition starts at 1pm so I'm guessing around 1:45 at the latest. I will ask that everyone stays through awards for our division but would encourage you to stay through the end of the night to watch and support our JV and Varsity guard, as well as Wasatch Independent. It's a home show so if you want, after awards you can come and go as you please. It's also pretty fun to watch the more technically advanced guards! 

Let me know if you have any other questions! Cell service is sometimes spotty out here, so I will do my best to respond in a timely manner! I will be back in town tomorrow evening, so we should be good after that! Thank you for your support!

Feb 1 Weekly Update

Parents and Students,

I apologize for how long this took to get out. Thankfully this week is pretty low key.

Wed: 6-7:45 am
3:30-5:30 pm

Wednesday afternoon we are having Darilyn come back in to take a look at a few minor things. We are so excited to have this show continue to progress! 

I am so proud of you and the way you conducted yourself on Saturday. I huge congratulations and thank you to everyone that has helped us and to all of our parents for their support! I am continually amazed at the support that we have! We are not going to Bear River this weekend so we have three weeks to clean the show before our home performance at American Fork High School!
