Showcase Reminders ~ T – 2 Days and Counting!

T-2 days until Showcase 2024!! Let’s do this!

Showcase 2024 - media

Amy and Elisa have prepared a Showcase Consolidated Schedule/Summary Reminders document, and it has been loaded to the Showcase 2024 Member Information webpage.  It’s #6 on the list and can also be found by clicking here. Please review this document (as well as the detailed Showcase parent meeting document – it is #4 on the list, if you have not had a chance yet.)  These documents include important information for you and your dancer about this weekend!! Click here to access the 2024 Showcase Member Information webpage.

We ask that you please allow plenty of time to get to the venue and to be on time per the schedule start at 10:30am on Saturday (unless you are slotted to come earlier per the Signup Genius to help with decorations).

We still have several volunteer openings for concessions and door monitors. Please consider signing up for additional responsibility throughout the weekend to ensure Showcase 2024 goes off without a hitch!  Click here to access the Showcase Volunteer Sign-Up Genius.  In addition, you can access the Volunteer Hours Tracking Form on the Member Information Page at any time throughout the season to log your volunteer hours.

See you all on Saturday morning 🙂

Let’s Get Ready to RADIX 2024!

Information is now available regarding the upcoming Radix Dance Convention in Atlanta this weekend Feb 23-25…please click here for everything you need to be “in the know” about Radix

Please note in the Radix information that there is a Radix waiver document (click here) that must be filled out and signed for every DANCER THAT IS NEW TO THE VIBE this year.  The deadline for getting the waiver turned in to the studio is Monday, February 19 end of day. 

 

SHOWCASE 2024 is One Week Away!!

Showcase 2024 - media

We are nearly one week away from Showcase 2024!  Our dancers have been working incredibly hard in preparing to take the stage next weekend and what better reward than to perform in front of a packed house! There are still more than 150 tickets still available for each show! Continue to share show and ticket information on social media and with all those near and dear to your dancers heart… family, friends, teachers, neighbors, babysitters, distant cousins….this is a show they won’t want to miss! 

Gentle reminder that each Vibe member/family is required to sell or purchase at least 10 tickets to Showcase (between the 2 shows) per Vibe Member Contract. If your 10 ticket obligation is not met after online ticket sales close to the public next week, you will be invoiced on Tues, Feb 20th for the remaining balance payable through Square or by  check (payable to the Vibe Performance Company).

For show details and ticket purchase information, click here to access the Showcase 2024 web page.

Dancer Gifts and Shout-Outs are also available for pre-sale for all family, friends, big/little sis and guests to purchase!!  Click here for details on how to purchase.

Last but certainly not least, we need ALL HANDS ON DECK to fill some remaining volunteer positions during the show. Volunteers are needed to run Concessions during both shows. Minimal time commitment, a position you can fill while still watching the show and also great opportunity for dads to fill as well! Also keep in mind that you are able to take on multiple volunteer positions on both days where timing doesn’t conflict (ie…decorations and water donation do not conflict with timing of concession sales 🙂  Click here to sign up for one of these volunteer positions.

Business Partner and Family Sponsors, THANK YOU!

We have pulled together a web page dedicated to our business and family sponsors for this dance season.  Click here to access the web page.  A link to each sponsor’s website is included on the web page.  We are so grateful for all of the support from these businesses this year!  Please patronize each of these businesses whenever possible, and thank them for their support of our dance team!  Thank You to our Family Sponsors for your donation to this year’s dance season!

More Showcase Info – Detailed Schedule & Volunteer Signup Genius

SHOWCASE DETAILED SCHEDULE

The Showcase Chairs will host a Showcase Informational Meeting only for new members of Vibe this year.  This meeting will occur during the hair and make-up tutorial session at the studio on Sunday, February 4th.  In lieu of the mandatory Vibe Parent Meeting that is typically held prior to Showcase, we kindly ask that you please read the attached document to review important details about Showcase, including venue details, drop-off and pick-up instructions, timeline, etc.   Click here to access the 2024 Showcase Member Information Page.  This page has all the links to all things Showcase! The Showcase Detailed Schedule is #4 on the list.

SHOWCASE VOLUNTEER SIGNUP

Thank you to those members that have already signed up for multiple positions on our Showcase 2024 Signup Genius!  Several key/”must fill” positions, particularly Concessions Sales, are still open and need volunteers. Most of these open positions take place before the show or during intermission and require less than an hour of your time. We need your help to get these open positions filled.  This is the best time of the year to earn your hours towards the 12 hours required from each dancer family (20 hours for families with two or more dancers).Please click here to access the Vibe 2024 Dance Showcase Signup Genius.    

Reminders from the initial post about the Signup Genius:

  1.  Please note that many of  these volunteer roles only require up to an hour of your time, so you may sign up for multiple volunteer positions across both shows.    
  2. Please be conscious of any time conflicts when signing up for multiple roles.  If you have any questions on volunteer positions, feel free to email us at footnotesdanceblog@gmail.com.

It truly takes a village and we appreciate the cooperation and support of each of our dance families pulling together to bring Showcase to life!  If you have any questions regarding Showcase 2024, please reach out to Amy Smith or Elisa Bobbitt.

Photo Buttons

Pin on your pride and joy! We are offering Photo Buttons again this year for our Vibe dancers to show spirit for our girls.  The buttons are 3″ in diameter and will feature a photo of your dancer with a red border that says “FootNotes Dance & Acrobatics” around the outer edge. It can be further customized with your daughter’s name, as an option.  See button example above.

Headshot photos for the photo buttons will be taken at the studio on the following dates:

  • Saturday, February 3: 11:45 AM – 1:15 PM
  • Sunday, February 4: 12:00 – 1:00 PM

If you wish to purchase a photo button this year, please come to the studio to have your dancer’s headshot taken during one of the time slots listed above. Please fill out the Google form (link below) so that we know how many buttons you wish to order.

What to wear: Please have your daughter wear light stage makeup and her FootNotes jacket, and competition earrings.  If you have last year’s competition earrings, bring them to use for the headshot.  If you do not, we will have a few extra pairs of clip ons at the studio. Your Dancer’s hair should be styled neatly in any hairstyle. 

Buttons are $5 each,.  We will be taking payments (cash or check) when photos are taken.

Please click here to access the Google form to place your photo button order today.  Deadline to order/make payment is Sunday, February 4. Orders for the photo buttons will be placed with our vendor the next day.  We are not sure if they will make it in time for Showcase, but they should be here in time for our first competition in March.  Please make sure that you fill out all fields on the form and press submit.

Car Magnets

FootNotes/Vibe Car Magnets will also be for sale during this time at the studio…$5/each.
