SPECIALS REGISTRATION INFO & FORM

“Skating Through the Seasons” Ice Show, 2012

 

ELIGIBILITY:  Skaters that have passed their PRE-PRE Moves Test by 12-1-11 and are FULL Contracting VFSC Members are eligible to sign up to skate a Special Number.  However, there are a limited number of solos, duets, trios and quads that are planned for each show and the coaches will select the skaters they feel are best suited for that number based on FS level as of 12-1-11 and compatibility with other skaters.  To sign up for a special, please fill out below and pay the initial specials reservation fee of $20.00.  Any refunds or monies owed will be taken care of during costume pick up.

 

Coaches will be selecting music for all of the numbers, including both group numbers and special numbers, i.e. solos, duets, trios and quads.  Coaches will be responsible for music selection, skater grouping (groups and specials) and costume selection for groups.  All music selections, groupings and specials groupings will be completed by December.  A poster will be hung up at both rinks, announcing the music and costume selections.  This information will also be emailed to you if you provide an email address. 

 

Skaters will choose their costumes for their special number. The books will be made available during club ice at both rinks.  Books MAY NOT be taken home!!!  MUST BE SELECTED BY 12-18-11.   Please ask your coach to review your costume choice.

 

SOLO ELIGIBILITY:  Only FULL VFSC members who CONTRACT ICE are eligible to skate a SOLO based on the following:    

     1.  All High School Seniors will be guaranteed a solo, regardless of level.

      2.  All skaters who have passed a SENIOR TEST (Moves, FS or Dance as of 12-1-11) will be guaranteed a solo.

 

BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SPACES AVAILABLE AFTER THE ABOVE 2 REGISTRATIONS ARE RECEIVED: IF there are spaces available based on the music and show (with a preferred maximum number of solos at 6 skaters) - VFSC will hold tryouts for additional solos or step-out solos.  

If you are interested in POSSIBLY trying out for a solo or step-out solo opening (IF AVAILABLE), please check here   □                       

 

MUSIC – All the music will be cut by one person and distributed on a CD to each skater skating in a Special Number.  The coach choreographing your number will also receive a copy to work with.  The music cutting fee is included in the Specials Fees below – you will not be billed an additional music cutting fee from your coach!  This was done to make the cutting and distribution of Special Music uniform for all skaters.  Specials Music will be distributed in March. 

 

SPECIALS FEE SCHEDULE:  Solo $35.00      Duet $25.00    Trio   $20.00       Quad $15.00

            INITIAL DEPOSIT - $20.00 to reserve your space in a Special Number

 

MORE THAN ONE SPECIAL NUMBER Only one special number will be assigned per skater.  However, based on the registrations, we may need a skater to fill in “where needed”.  Therefore, a skater may be needed to fill a duet, trio or quad special number and may have to skate below their level.  Fill in skaters will not be asked to skate with more advanced skaters.  This is a great opportunity to get to know other skaters in the club. 

If you are willing to fill in “where needed” and possibly skate below your level, please check here   □                      

 

NOTE:  These will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis – the order that the forms are received.  These roles will incur extra costume costs and registration fees.

GUEST REGISTRATION FORM

“Skating Through the Seasons” Ice Show, 2012

 

This year’s ice show will include 3 numbers that we will involve skaters other than club or basic skills skaters.  They are as follows:

 

            Dad’s Number – very popular every year.  Try to make all of the practices, but

                        even if you can’t,  we’d still love for you to participate.  Must be a Dad or

                        Grandfather of an Ice Show skater.   No experience necessary.

 

            Mom’s Number – definitely the funniest routine in past shows.  Must be a Mom or

                        Grandmother of an Ice Show Skater.  No experience necessary.

 

            Hockey Player Number – High School hockey players will skate with our High School club

                        skaters.  This is always a crowd pleaser.  Must be at least a high school age hockey

                        player.  Only a limited number of spaces are available.  Must participate in all 5 practices.

 

Costumes will vary.  We try to select something that is common and won’t need to be purchased.  However, occasionally, special items (t-shirts, sweatshirts) are needed for a specific number.  We try to keep the cost minimal.  You will be informed of these items before picture night.

 

NOTE:  We are asking parents/grandparents to pay a $10 registration fee ($10 for Mom’s number and $10 for Dad’s number if both parents skate) to skate in the show.  In previous years participants in the Mom & Dad’s numbers were still required to purchase a ticket to each show; this year each parent/grandparent skater will be given a ticket to all 3 performances. This registration fee is non-refundable so if you are not sure of your availability then wait to sign up because we will allow late signups in the spring (for the Mom’s and Dad’s numbers only).

 

Please fill out form below.  This will ensure that you receive any emails or mailings regarding the ice show, practice information and picture night.
