Holiday Parade Info.- 2015 IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SANTA HAT OR REINDEER ANTLERS FROM A PREVIOUS SEASON, & HAVE NOT PURCHASED ONE… PLEASE CALL OR SEE THE FRONT DESK ON MONDAY! WE ARE STILL TAKING ORDERS! DANCERS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THEESE (as was stated in the fair parade letter sent via email & available online) SANTA HATS ARE $11.77 with tax & ANTLERS ARE $6.42 with tax. Dear Parents and Dancers, We will be participating in the 36th annual Rincon Holiday Parade. The parade is Saturday November 21st. Dancers need to be at McCumber ballpark promptly at 9:00 a.m. Look for our pink, black, and silver floats! The parade will begin at 10:00 a.m. The parade will start from McCumber ball park and end at 9th street. Here we will take a right and wrap around, ending at First Baptist Church. Dancers may be picked up in the playground area at First Baptist Church of Rincon. Dancers need to be picked up directly after the parade. If your dancer is dancing in the parade, you can park towards the end of the parade route (close to First Baptist Church of Rincon) after they have been dropped off at McCumber (line up). This will make picking up your dancer easier. All Mommy & Me, Pre-K, Tiny classes (ages 2-6 years old), must have one parent to ride on the float with them, wearing a black or white shirt. We are asking that no other siblings ride due to limited space on our two floats. All other dance classes (Mini & up -ages 7 & up) will be dancing in the parade. Parents are not allowed to walk in the parade; we promise we will take good care of them. Our little dancers ages 2-6 years old (Mommy & Me, Pre-K, & Tiny) are to wear their Black BDC Parade Shirt with black dance shorts (fitted athletic shorts) & nude tights, or thick black leggings. *Hairstyle: two high ponytails (one on each side of head) & wear clip in Reindeer Antlers* If your dancers’ hair is short, please wear your hair out of your face (ex. half up and half down). All other Dancers 7 & older (Mini & up classes) & ALL ELITE COMPANY DANCERS will wear their Black BDC Parade Shirt with black dance shorts (fitted athletic shorts) & nude tights, or thick black leggings. *Hairstyle: Pull half up & leave half down & wear Santa hat* (Please make sure to bobby pin Santa hat on, or secure with an elastic stretch headband around the outside of the hat/under the fur trim…so it does not fall off while dancing) VERY IMPORTANT INFO: ALL DANCERS will need to wear a solid black shoe of some sort (ex: Hip-Hop, Jazz, combat boots, ballet flats, ugg style boots, or sneakers) If your dancer is riding the float they are not required to wear black shoes. Dancers may also wear rhinestone stud earrings, if they wear jewelry. (Please, no other items are to be worn). Please have hair sprayed & secure in the correct hairstyle (If the required hairstyle allows rubber bands to be shown, use hair colored or clear rubber bands, or/& you can take a small piece of hair from the ponytail, wrap around the rubber band & secure with a bobby pin). I know we will look great this year and for the years to come! Please Note: If it is cold, you may wear black legwarmers (over your tights) or black leggings (quick tip: if you layer leggings over tights…you will be much warmer), black turtle neck or athletic body armor (under your shirt- Body armor is thinner and seems to look better under the shirt can be found at sports stores or Wal-Mart), black gloves, & black scarfs. If anyone ordered Santa hats & Antlers, they will be given out at the parade. Ages 2-6 will wear antlers & ages 7 & up will wear Santa hats (please bring bobby pins or/& an elastic stretch headband to secure the hat, so that it does not fall off while dancing). Happy Holidays!
