#1. Parade updates.
Good EveningTeam Families,

12/7 Christmas Parade
*Everyone
Performance Piece: We will be teaching a parade march/piece. 
Practice Time: During their current rehearsals. We are going to ask everyone to have a combined practice:
Saturday December 7th 12:00pm until 1:30pm.

Everyone is welcome to get ready and eat lunch at the studio before the parade. We thought this would be a great bonding event.

Parade arrival: 3:00pm
I have been informed that anyone who arrives after 3pm will not be allowed to participate  I am sorry for the short notice and half hour change. I changed the rehearsal time above to accommodate the change on our end.

Attire: Black Leotard, Tights, Long sleeve black shirt with Team shirt over it. Black pants, Lime green gloves, thick socks, sparkle shoes, holiday ear muffs, any scarf with FFD colors & Team jacket. Male Dancers: do not need a leotard but they should have thermals on. 

Make Up: Full performance make up.

Hair: Females- High Ponytail with ringlet curls. Ponytail should be able to be seen from the front. See photos below for examples.FFD team bow. Males- Hair combed and gelled out of their eyes. 

Extra items: Hand warmers, water bottles, extra socks, gloves & a blanket. Anything to stay warm because we are out there for at least an hour before we march.

Im looking to collect glow sticks before Friday this week please.

Gloves are $5 each and each team member is required to have them. Money is due the day of the parade. 
Gloves will be handed out that day. Some of them did shrink a bit when heated but we did our very best. If there are any tragic cases we will replace them.

We will be handing out apparel as it comes in, if it is a gift and you would like it handed to you in secret please let us know.
