• All skaters will skate in all three shows. They are also required to attend all rehearsals and the Dress Rehearsal. The shows take place on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon and evening.

• Skaters are only permitted to leave the arena at the intermission of each show PROVIDED they have already performed. Early pick up occurs at the East Doors (back of the arena near the baseball diamond). Keep in mind that there is a grand finale at the end of each show where all the skaters come out onto the ice and receive congratulations.

• YES! Besides all skaters keeping their ice show costumes, there will also be souvenir t-shirts available for purchase. We will also be selling flowers and stuffies that you can purchase to toss onto the ice for your skater during the Grand Finale. An online souvenir program will also be available for download at the show.

• We will be selling concessions at all shows so there will be chips, popcorn, candy and drinks available for purchase. A cart will roll downstairs in the dressing rooms so that skaters can purchase items as well. Your skater may bring their own snacks provided they are school safe (NUT FREE PLEASE)

• All skaters must remain in the dressing rooms for the duration of the show under parent volunteer supervision, unless they have skated in the first half of the show and wish to leave at intermission (see question #5)

• NO. In order to maintain the flow of the show and to make things easier on the volunteers, you may not visit your skater during the show and they may not leave the dressing room to visit with you. They will be well taken care of and be having a ton of fun in the dressing rooms.
