Reminder to arrive early and in costume for picture day, February 17th. STARSkaters, please note that there will be an opportunity for additional ice time for practice after individual and group photos are complete.

CARNIVAL UPDATE

We will have two dress rehearsals before the Carnival, noting that with a smaller group, we may wrap up each rehearsal a bit earlier than usual. Please refer to the most recent practice schedule sent by the coaches on the 25th.

We encourage skaters to arrive early, in costume and dressed appropriately, wearing warm gloves and layers, as they will be out on the ice for longer than usual during practice. Facemasks will be required in the dressing rooms, and the arena stands for the Carnival. 

As we approach the Carnival date, we will send additional REMIND messages and emails to keep you informed with upcoming important dates and event times.
