TICKETS

No Ticket Sales in 2021!

Tickets are $6 in advance or $8 a the door. 3 years old and younger are free. Advance Tickets are sold during our figure skating sessions on Sundays and Wednesday evenings and during normal business hours at the Merrill Chamber of Commerce.

PERFORMANCE GROUPS

Skating groups for the show will be determined by the second week of skating so the costumes can be ordered in time for the show. Skaters will be allowed to advance in their levels, but when show practice starts they will be with their show group.

IMPORTANT SHOW TIPS

Skaters are not allowed to have glitter hair spray or any glitter products in the locker rooms for the show. If you choose to have glitter in your skaters hair it must be applied at home before coming to the MARC.  Absolutely no bobby pins will be allowed in hair due to the safety of all skaters on the ice. Lost bobby pins are a major trip hazard on the ice.

Static guard should be applied outside of the locker rooms or at home if it is needed on a costume. Please use aerosols/hairspray sparingly in the locker rooms. Hair should be done at home, only in the event of a costume /hair change for the show if in multiple performances. Too much spraying of hair spray in a locker room will not be allowed due to the lack of ventilation in the small area.

Please send a blanket and activities (coloring books, games, hand-held games) for your child while they are waiting in the locker rooms. NO food or candy is allowed in the locker rooms. Only water is allowed in the locker rooms. Skate guards must be worn at all times in the locker rooms.
