Show Ticket prices are TBD for 2024.  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.

Purchasing a Live Stream Link will also be available. Please purchase at least 30 minutes before each show to ensure you receive the link in time.

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 warming 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 warming rooms or at home if it is needed on a costume. Please use aerosols/hairspray sparingly in the warming 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 warming room will not be allowed due to the lack of ventilation in the small area.

Please send a blanket and activities (coloring books, board games, cards) for your child while they are waiting in the warming rooms. NO cellphones or electronics are allowed in warming rooms.  NO food or candy is allowed in the warming rooms. Only water is allowed in the warming rooms to protect the costumes. Skate guards must be worn at all times in the warming rooms.

Skaters who need to costume change will be using pop-up changing tents provided and the individual bathroom located inside the warming room.
