Competition Costumes:
-Your statements have been billed for the TOTAL cost of all known costumes and accessories. However, ONLY THE DEPOSIT amount listed on your statements is due on 11/9. Please refer to our costume info sheet for all specifics pertaining to your routines. If you’re using booster funds for the costume balances, please submit withdrawal forms for KDC/SSDB by Nov. 15th.
-Please check your requirements for tights carefully. Most routines will wear Bloch brand tights, color tan (NOT light tan) unless otherwise specified. These are now available at Starz for $10 child, $12 adult. This season we also have multiple variations on other tights requirements. Fishnets, stirrups, and black tights will be available closer to pep rally time. ALL tights are your responsibility to purchase. Remember, you’ll need a backup pair or two in your bags at competition time.
-A few routines will need TAN jazz shoes instead of black. Please check your costume sheets and place orders at the desk for these shoes by November 13th. Don’t delay! The longer you wait the more likely these shoes will be back ordered and may not arrive in time.
-If you need to exchange your shoes for size, please do so NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 12TH so we can get the re-orders placed asap.
-This will be an optional event for all veteran (no newbies) troupe A members this year. Sign up on the b-board now.
