Taking These Lemons and Making Lemonade

Dear Parents as you probably heard we will no longer be competing this Saturday at the Juan Diego competition. We would have had to dance with holes due to circumstances within our team..... with that said if we were to go and dance with holes no matter how well the girls did they would have a hard time getting a good placement due to loosing points for formations and routine. If these girls weren't a first place team I wouldn't stress about it as much but these girls have set goals and have worked so hard to get there and we have had some crappy things come up but I truly believe to be a true champion you have to learn how to overcome these obstacles and let nothing get in the way of your goals. So that's the mentality we are taking. We are starting fresh today ready to work hard so when we take that floor on the 20th this is a team that is confident, ready, and all there, so that this competition can be a positive experience and not a disheartening one. I deeply apologize for any and all inconveniences this has caused but we are still going to practice Saturday morning form 7:30-10:00 then we are going to head over and observe the competition taking notes and learning a ton while watching. Please call me with any questions or concerns. Sara and I truly appreciate the love and support that has been shown as this is a tough situation for the team but the love and support makes it so much easier to get through these obstacles so thank you for being the greatest parent ever and I'm so excited for the 20th and for these girls to be able to finally show their amazing talent, skill, and ability - we fixed all costuming issues so the girls will truly be phenomenal.
