Competition:
Charlee has decided on the following competitions for the 2008-2009 year. Cost for hotel, food and entrance fees are individual members
responsibility. Although the Board may possibly use some fundraising funds towards competition fees. Last year we were able to pay for
production and registration fees for all members participating in Chicken barbeque fundraiser. (In order to have this kind of success we
need everyone’s support in all fundraising efforts).

Boscov’s Thanksgiving Day Parade --Tappers (Studio Event-invitational)
We received an invitation for our tappers to be a part of this special event in Philadelphia on the morning of November 27nd 2008. This is
our 2nd year participating in this event! We have filled out & mailed in our preliminary information for registration and will receive additional
information in late August. There is a $25 registration fee for each individual. Tickets for grand stand seats will be available on a lottery
basis for each registered dancer in the event. This will be a televised event by Philadelphia Channel 6 ABC and should be shown on our
ABC network. Practices would be on Sunday November 23th 4:00-5:30 pm at PA National Guard Armory in Philadelphia and Wednesday
November 26st at 7:00- 8:30 pm and held at Philadelphia Museum of Art. All dancers are required to memorize entire choreographed piece
between Oct 22 (when we received video) and Nov 23th. Selected tappers include: Dominique Norris, Heather Ruppert, Sarah
Luckenbaugh, Sarah Gunarich, Steph Snyder, Brittny Klinedinst, Alyssa Zelwalk. Abbi Cole, Brooke Mankert, Lexi Mankert and Nikki
Patterson Additional practices for participants at the YARD should be expected in Oct & Nov. This piece may be practiced in Int 2/Adv Tap
class and BInt/ Int1 classes. Although not all BInt tappers are participating in the parade this year, learning this challenging routine is a way
to broaden their experience. Usually we take our Int & Adv tappers to this event and BInt tappers can benefit from the process.
**** Please note dates above for practices have not been finalized these are approximations based on our experience last year. More
definite times and dates will be available in Aug-Sept
Educational Workshop—( Tentatively in March or April )

include a hotel room $65/person estimated. More details to follow
Recital— June 2009
