Skater Show Info

For 3 weeks prior to the MIRFSC Show, the club will run an alternate schedule. Practice times for routines will be 30 minutes and a schedule will be posted on the club bulletin board, emailed, on-line, and distributed to parents when costumes arrive.

DRESS REHEARSAL– ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2026

Begins at 5:30 pm and ends at approximately 8:30 pm. This is a closed dress rehearsal, not open to parents and guest. Skaters should wear their costume and tights, doing their hair is not required. We ask that Snowplow and Level 1 parents remain at the rehearsal in the multi-purpose room. The rehearsal order in the beginning will allow our youngest skaters to be done early. Both Snowplow classes will practice their routine, then both Level 1 classes, followed immediately by the Closing Number which includes every skater. (jackets & mittens may be worn for Closing Number during the rehearsal). Snowplow and Level 1 skaters will then be dismissed. Then we will continue practicing in order of the show. Which will be posted Friday night. This is a closed dress rehearsal and parents will not be allowed to watch. We estimate that the Father-Child rehearsal will be around 7:00 p.m. Please have your skater bring a blanket, skaters will be seated on the bleachers. No bobby pins allowed in hair at anytime on the ice.

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.
