NEW 2024-2025 Vibe Varsity Jacket Update!

Reorders for our current Vibe jacket style are no longer available. Cheryl is working with a new jacket supplier for this year and will be ordering a NEW Varsity letterman style jacket for new dancers as well as for dancers that already indicated the need for a new jacket this season. The new Varsity letterman style is a softer, less rigid version than a traditional high school letterman jacket.

WE WILL NOT FULLY TRANSITION ALL DANCERS TO THE NEW VARSITY JACKET STYLE UNTIL NEXT SEASON, however, returning dancers DO have the option to purchase the new jacket style this year if they choose but it is not a required purchase for this season. 

Click here to access the NEW Vibe Varsity Jacket order form. A response is needed from ALL dancers, whether or not you choose to purchase the new jacket style.  All responses are needed by Friday, Oct 11th. 

We will not have any samples of the new style to try on so please order based on your dancers measurements per the NEW Varsity jacket sizing charts provided in the order form.  We have also included the sizing chart from the previous jacket style for sizing reference.

Parent Volunteer Questionnaire – Response Needed

volunteer

The success of The Vibe Performance Company is dependent upon the ongoing support of our dancer’s families. Each family is required to contribute 12 volunteer hours to the VPC (20 hours for families with more than one dancer) each season.

The Vibe Volunteer Information Questionnaire Form link is below.   This form asks a series of questions to provide the opportunity for you to identify your skills and interests to pair you with the right volunteer positions. 

Please click here to start the questionnaire (your response is due this Friday, August 23 end of day). It has several sections:

  • Basic info about you and/or your husband (if he is has able to volunteer)
  • Skills and Interests
  • A list of the open key roles in the Vibe, with several options for each
  • Ranking: You will then be asked to rank the Top 3 positions from your selections from most interested to least interest.  If you are also including information for your spouse, please indicate that in the ranking list as well. Only select the volunteer positions or committees that you are truly interested in and have the flexibility to participate in.  

Note that if you hit the back arrow to return to a previous page, you will lose all data and need the form to start over. There is a Questions and Comments section on the last page to add any info you might have left off earlier in the form or would like to share with us.

Once we have the responses from the Volunteer Information Form, the Board will review the responses and placements will be compiled.  

Thanks for your attention to getting this form filled out by this Friday, August 23rd end of day and for all you do to make us VIBE STRONG!  

Note:  A separate Signup Genius for the “day of” Showcase volunteer positions will be sent out at a later date once plans for Showcase are finalized. Showcase is an “all hands on deck” event and volunteer participation from ALL dancer families is expected.  You will note that all of these Showcase volunteer roles are not listed in this Volunteer Information Questionnaire form.
