IMPORTANT NOTES TO REVIEW:

• VIBE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!!: Click here to access the VIBE Volunteer Sign Up Genius for volunteer positions at recital. We will need ALL hands on deck to help recital run as smoothly as possible. This event will be the last opportunity of the season to make sure you have logged the required number of service hours for your family. It is possible to sign up for multiple roles over the weekend. Please note that if you have already signed up on the FNDA sign up genius to be a backstage mom or with check-in/check-out at recital, your name has been pre-populated on the Vibe volunteer SUG as well. Only moms listed on the FootNotes Signup Genius will be allowed to be backstage. **NEW this year! In addition to backstage moms for company teams, we are asking for Vibe moms to help with rec classes backstage this year. We want to be sure that all recreational moms have the opportunity to see their dancer during the one time they take the stage this year! Please consider signing up.**
• HAIRSTYLE: Dancers should wear the competition hairstyle (middle part, low pony) for all competition routines.  Note that all ballet pieces must have a low bun. Dancers will need to transition their hair from bun to low pony or low pony into a bun depending on where their ballet routine falls within the show order for both Dress Rehearsal on Saturday and Recital on Sunday.   The bun must be a neat, tight bun. Hairnets are encouraged and helpful for quick, neat buns.   Once the ballet piece is complete, dancers will transition their hair back to the low pony.  For the younger dancers, the backstage moms will handle this task for the dancers.  For the older dancers, the backstage moms will ‘check’ the dancer’s bun to ensure it is neat and secure.
  • REMINDER: ALL dancers must bring your hair supplies…a comb, hairnet, hairspray, and bobby pins to create the bun.  A flat iron and brush may be needed to get your dancer’s pony straightened after the bun is taken down.
• MAKE-UP:  Dancers DO NOT need to wear makeup for Dress Rehearsal on Saturday. For Recital on Sunday, dancers must wear full competition makeup including lashes and our competition lipstick color.  There is no need to change the color of lipstick for ballet.
