Mom's Meeting

There will be a Mother's meeting on May 2nd at 8:00 pm at the Jardine residence, 898 medical drive in Brigham. Rockettes do not attend this- just the mothers. Stacy Jardine is our Presidents Mom and will run the booster club. $15 a month goes to the Moms fund to help with team parties, good lucks, etc. for the year. Those checks need to be written to Stacy Jardine and given to her. If you want to pay all at once- it is $150.

Sesquicentennial Pageant

Brigham's City is having a Sesquicentennial Celebration on May 5th and 6th and have asked that the Rockettes be involved in the Pageant. It will be held at the High School. I don't know a lot of information about it- but they said we would be performing with the Cheerleaders in doing the school song & fight song. Sounds pretty simple :) There will be a practice on Tuesday, May 2nd at 7:00 pm at the Senior Center. I will post more info when I get it!

Team Shoes!!

Alrighty girls! These will be your new team shoes for the year! They are the Women's Nike Tanjun shoe. They are $65 and you can find them in a handful of different places- but I put the link here so you can find them easily. Make sure you get black and white. **If you already have these shoes- you don't have to buy another pair- just make sure yours are clean & in good condition. We will be performing in these & wearing them for just about everything! You must have these shoes purchased for Drill Camp. We will be wearing them there.

Also- these will be the dance shoes we will wear for the whole year. Half times, competitions- etc. you need a pair in caramel and black. You will need the BLACK pair for camp.

And last- these are the tights we use for performing. You will NOT need these for camp- but I'm just giving you a heads up that you will need them for every other performance. You need a pair of black and caramel as well.
