Volunteers

Our club is run by 100% volunteers. All board members and show committee members are volunteers. Our skating club and show would not be possible without the great support from our volunteers! All volunteers for the Show should arrive 1 hour and 15 minutes before the show begins. Volunteers will be trained for their task.

SHOW COMMITTEE

Anyone who would like to join our Show Committee is welcome to. The committee decides in the spring the show theme for the following year. The Show Committee meets in June to finalize songs and August to select costumes. Throughout the season the show committee works on decorations, show shirts, organizing costumes, and making sure we have enough volunteers to help run the show.

WARMING ROOM MOMS

Two female chaperones are needed in our female skater warming rooms backstage at each show beginning 60 minutes before the show. Chaperones must stay in the warming rooms with the skaters the entire time and help prepare skaters for their skating performance. Per USFSA regulations, each chaperone will need to complete Safe Sport Training and pass a background check. The club will reimburse chaperones for the background check fee.  Sign up to help at Fall Registration.

Pop-Up changing tents will be available backstage for costume changes.

Backstage Rooms include:

Snowplow/Level 1 (boys and girls)

Level 2-3 (girls only)

Level 4-6 (girls only)

Middle School (girls only)

High School (girls only)

Boys Levels 2 and up may watch the show for free as we do not have a warm room available for them backstage.

PARKING CARS

Parent volunteers are needed to help parking cars beginning 1 hour and 15 minutes prior to each show up until the start of the show. Parents who volunteer for this will be given a free show ticket.  (Saturday arrival: 4:45 p.m. and Sunday arrival: 11:45 a.m.) We will need you to direct people where to park. There will be handicap parking up front. Orange cones will mark that off. Please dress warmly. We do have reflective vests for you to wear.
