Since this is the first show for many of you we will
try to communicate as much as possible but
please don’t hesitate if you have any questions
[email protected] . Important
information will be posted on the board in the
lobby as well as on our website. Please check this
location regularly for any new details you may
need to know.
COSTUMES
We are finalizing our groups and will need sewers
that can help with some light sewing. Please contact

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Props
Group Captains
Dressing Rooms
We are looking for any
parents or family members
that are handy with tools or a
paintbrush. Prop building
will begin early February.
In order to keep costs for the
show down we are looking
for any scrap building
materials (i.e. Coroplast
signs, plywood, 2x4’s etc.)
A Group Captain will be
responsible for communicating
with your skaters group and the
club so everyone has all the
information they will need. If
you have signed up for this you
will be contacted once our
groups are finalized. If you
haven’t signed up for this and
are interested please email us at
Being responsible for a
dressing room can be a huge
job but it’s always
entertaining. There will be 2
dressing room parents per
group. Since there are
always lots of parents that
sign up for this job we do
sometimes have to share
these responsibilities. Our
volunteer coordinator will be
in contact with you soon if you
are signed up to be a
Dressing Room Parent.
This is a huge job so the
more help the better!

Picture Day – Feb. 11
Picture Day will be Thursday February 11th in the arena lobby.
The picture schedule will be out shortly and we will do our best
to schedule all the groups as close to their practice time as
possible. We will be handing out order forms for pictures on
Feb. 4th, be sure to pick yours up in the lobby.
This is always a very busy day so we appreciate your patience in all the craziness.
Order forms will be in your soon and due back on picture day. All skaters will be in
full costume for the pictures, the costumes will be at the arena for your skater to
wear that day and then left at the arena so they can be worn for the show in March.

2015/2016
Since “Wicked” is not a
very well known story I
wanted to give a quick
description to help you all
become a little more
familiar with the story.
Wicked, when she refuses
to help the wizard take
control of Oz, she doesn't
stop. She learns that you
can do anything if you set
your mind to it.
Wicked is about a girl
named Elphaba who
believes she isn't special,
and she isn't important.
She goes to a school that
makes her think even
more that she isn't
important because she
was only sent there to look
after her sister.
Elphaba's character is
about strength. Elphaba,
however faces many
problems with her life,
what with her true love
being stolen and her sister
being killed, and all of Oz
being against her, you can
understand some of her
anger locked up inside of
her. Even though Elphaba
and Galinda don't believe it
until the end, they turned
out to be who they were
then because they knew
each other.
When the headmistress
tells her that she is
special, and she has a
talent for sorcery, she
feels like she has a talent.
She knows that if she gets
her shot and meets the
wizard someday everyone
will love her (from the
song the wizard and I) She
befriends a snotty girl
named Galinda who soon
realizes that popularity
isn't everything.
The moral to the story:
Don't judge a book by its
cover. You can do
anything if you put your
mind to it, you are never
alone and always tell the
They journey together to
the emerald city to meet
the wizard, who is really a
fraud, and the bad guy in
the story. Elphaba learns
then that it is up to her to
save the people of Oz
from the wizard. Even
though she is henceforth

COSTUME
REQUIREMENTS
As a club we do provide all costumes for our Canskate,
PreCan, Power and PrePower skaters however we do have
some small requirements that we do ask you to supply (i.e.: tights or pants).
This list will be emailed out to you from your group leader early next week.
We ask that you bring your costume requirements to the arena no later then Thursday Feb. 4th.
These items will be put into individual Ziploc bags labeled with your skaters name on for them to
wear during the show and so they can be returned to you after show day.
TICKETS & POSTERS
Bring your friends and family!!!
Let’s get the word out!!!
Again this year we are offering a great
prize to the family/skater that sells the
most tickets. The skater that sells the
highest number of tickets will receive
20% off of their registration total for
next season and every skater that sells
a minimum of 10 tickets will be
entered into a draw for 10% off of their
registration total.
We will have posters available in the
coach’s room as well as at the Ice Show
table in the lobby when we are
distributing information.
Ticket envelopes will be distributed
on Thursday Feb. 4th in the arena
lobby. If you need more tickets any
time before the show they will be
available in the coaches room (at the
far end of the lobby)
If you know of anywhere that a poster
can go up, a work place, school,
community board, mailbox etc. please
take as many as you like to get the word
out.
The kids and volunteers put so much
hard work into a show like this we want
to help them fill the stands!!!
