Not so much due to the teen boys (also quick changing at the same time, too busy to look or too used to it to care) but all the little kids...<br /><br />All these ice show posts make me happy for my current club. Our show is Saturday. If you want a program, you can skate anything you want under 2 minutes. You can do a solo and a duet, and be in a group number- all you have to do is put on your paper which you want to do and then a schedule is made. Costumes are up to the skaters, and the LTS kids where simple things that are bought at Target for under $10. This year we did have an actual RULE- no one can use the same music. Christmas music (if you weren't just doing your regular program) was signed up as first come, first serve.<br /><br />It's suggested, but not required that you stay afterwards to help set out the luminaries around the rink, and stay in your costume for the city-sponsored (it's a private rink) luminary lighting public skate. The public gets a kick out of the costumes.Jessimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442665425448000014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952069064670643819.post-44154843838952799222011-12-08T09:27:18.935-06:002011-12-08T09:27:18.935-06:00Lots of the girls at least up to FS3 wore leotards...Lots of the girls at least up to FS3 wore leotards last year the the world, amazingly, did not end.

But they still don't need much modesty barriers as a rule, as we seal off the hockey boxes with black plastic, and the volunteer coordinator stations someone back there. Oh Wait! They got rid of their volunteer coordinator! oops.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087069977867729538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952069064670643819.post-16924676257028960542011-12-08T07:36:13.435-06:002011-12-08T07:36:13.435-06:00Costumes are in.

Man up, you're only out there for awhile. <br /><br />Nope,no quick changes in our show, thank god. The little ones just play in their outfits during the show, which is kinda nice for them.

The kind where the helper really carefully takes the costume off the girl around her skates while another one shoves a new costume on? Way too many little kids back there to do that without the leotards.Jessimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442665425448000014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952069064670643819.post-9237567835538560382011-12-06T21:19:44.879-06:002011-12-06T21:19:44.879-06:00Your rink has such drama.

It was fine - thats why they measure them. And there is nothing wrong with flesh colored leotards on the little ones. These kids are used to skating at lessons in long sleeves and a jacket - not short sleeves. no need to make them freeze for a very minor aesthetic thing that almost no one will notice. This is supposed to be fun.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10800464141623559967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952069064670643819.post-81101241704110359212011-12-06T09:24:13.541-06:002011-12-06T09:24:13.541-06:00Schadenfreude over here.
