Region Team 2022 UPDATES - Challenge Rounds Next Week!

A reminder that NEXT WEEK we have challenge rounds as I need to submit our final team list by that following weekend. We have a Team Day on March 1st (even if in Ballyhoo, come to the Green Room first and then we'll separate out). Be in the Green Room on March 1st at 2:45pm SHARP - the sooner, the better. I will hand out bus permission slips on that day and so ALL need one to participate on March 22nd at Region Competition. Below is a list of senior coach and "littles" assigned. If you have NOT heard from your senior yet, please email me IMMEDIATELY as they are not reaching deadlines and I want to get you someone who will work well with you. My email is linze.struiksma@canyonsdistrict.org 

SENIORS - Reach out to your scenes you're over AND your littles today!

Challenge Rounds are March 3rd and you will sign up for a slot ON March 1st. Also, know we have alumni coming on team days to help, so USE THEM! 

Please use THIS WEEK to get together and REALLY clean your piece. Thank you!

I will be adding pictures from Region/State to this entry after competition.  Thanks! 

Region Team 2022

A huge thank you to all who auditioned for team!  

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE BELOW! 

This is our initial team, with challenge rounds scheduled to take place on March 3rd, 2022.  If on the list below, please get prepared to perform at challenge rounds regardless of the amount in each category.  If I have you and your partner in class I MAY pull you during class to watch you that week.  If I do NOT have you and your partner in class together, you WILL complete your challenge round entry on March 3rd after school.  This is a check-in to make sure you are ready and prepared fully to represent Alta at Competition. Additionally, information on senior coaches will be posted later this week and those coaches WILL be reaching out THIS week to set up an initial work time.

Important Dates:

Mandatory Team Days from 2:45-4:30pm: March 1st, March 11th, March 16th, and March 21st (if there are issues with any of these dates, let me know immediately). I will give out permission slips and travel info on these days, so we will meet together in the green room first and then spread out to practice and workshop pieces. 

Other days you can be here from 2:30-4:30 to practice: February 7-11th, February 14-15, February 22-24, February 28th, March 2nd, March 7th, March 9th, March 14-18th - If you need other times, just schedule with me (Miss Struiksma) ahead and I'll make myself available. 

There are TONS of options, so I expect people be here at LEAST once or twice a week outside of team days working on their scene. You MUST meet with your senior coach at least twice before March 1st and then may come and work with Miss Struiksma and Miss Cline. We have the power to do REALLY well at and WIN Region, but it will take hard work and dedication - it will take some time put in on your piece getting it ready! 

Grade check: March 3rd!

Region Date/location: March 22nd, 2022 at Orem High School - we will bus down and leave around 1:30pm that day from school.  We will return around 8:30-9pm. 

State Date/location: April 23rd, 2022 at Viewpoint High School - we will bus up and leave Alta around 7:30am that Saturday.  We will return around 4-5pm.   This is an epic day and the goal is to get y'all there from region! :) 

I am so excited for this team - let's do this!!! Check on the blog on Thursday for senior coach assignments.  If you are interested in being a "little" (meaning, you aide a senior coach and help out with coaching as a younger classmen - it's really fun!), please let me know by Wednesday and then I can add you in with someone.  We would LOVE to have EVERYONE from all grades help!
