DECEMBER 2018 NEWSLETTER Sterling Silver Studio, LLC

2018 Holidazzle Performances! All of the classes that are partic-

ipating have the information

listed on pg. 2 of this newslet-

ter.

This newsletter also has infor-

mation about what to wear for

each class and what day they

are performing.

We have some new & great

changes to the Holidazzle this

year, so please read through to

make sure you have all the new

details.

All Sterling Silver students and

their families are invited to the

holiday parties to enjoy snacks

compliments of the P.A.S.S.

Foundation and meet Santa!

Dates:

Monday, December 17

Tuesday, December 18

Location: Cathedral School

Gymnasium, 1419 Baxter,

Superior

Performer Rehearsal Drop off:

4:00 p.m. The closed rehears-

al is for performers only.

Please drop off your perform-

ers in the gymnasium on the

lower level of the school.

All classes performing will

have a quick rehearsal in the

gymnasium at 4:00 with their

class just to make sure their

routines look sharp for the

show!

To ensure a smooth and quick

rehearsal it is important that

everyone arrives on time and

is ready to practice! : )

Performance Time: 5:30 p.m.,

Doors will open to family &

friends at 5:00 p.m.

Attention 2018 Christmas City

Parade Performers: You are

welcome and encouraged to

perform in the grand finale

during both Holidazzle shows.

If you are only performing in

grand finale for one of the

shows you don’t have to arrive

at rehearsal until 4:30 on that

day. If you are in other rou-

tines for any of the shows you

will still need to arrive by

4:00.

Tips for a smooth and

relaxed performance

•It is very busy on show and re-

hearsal days. Please make sure

you ask your teachers questions

at class before the day of the

show to avoid confusion.

•To avoid congestion, please

have one parent or adult bring

your child to rehearsal. Invite

the rest of your family to come

as the gymnasium doors open at

5:00 p.m. before the perfor-

mance begins. Everyone is invit-

ed to stay after the performance

for the holiday party!

•If you see someone without a

smile, share yours with them!

Have a wonderful holiday break!

See you in January.

2018 Christmas City of the North

Parade

We would like to thank all of the dancers, twirlers and volunteers who participated in the 2018

Christmas City of the North Parade on November 16. This year marked our 28th year in the

parade and it was a huge success! Everyone did a fabulous job.

We also want to thank the Crescent Moon band for playing live for us during both of the pa-

rades. This was Crescent Moon’s 7th year performing live with Sterling Silver Studio during the

Christmas City of the North Parade. Hopefully we will have the honor of performing with them

again year after year.
