Winter Guard

Hi parents of OLM Winter guard members, my name is Linda Vang, and I am your daughter's coach.

This email is to inform you about present and future events as well as an idea of what winter guard is.

The song that the girls will be performing and competing with is Skyfall by Adele.
Below is the link to the version that we're using:

These are the purchases that the Winter guard mom, Nicole Fonda, has bought. She will be reimbursed by the band booster as well as you*.
This is the top that your daughter will be wearing. Due to the one shouldered layout, a strapless undergarment is highly recommended.
 
Rifles will be incorporated into the routine along with dance and flag work.
Gloves : TBA

*Leggings have been purchased for your daughter by the Winter guard mom, Nicole Fonda. Please bring in a $10 reimbursement if you haven't already. Thank you.*
Make up is a key part of the performance, please provide your child with foundation, mascara, and eyeliner.
It will ONLY be used by your daughter.

Since we will be performing on the bare gym floor, rules are that the performers must wear shoes at all times. These jazz shoes can be found at the local Payless Shoes stores. Please have ready no later than the first week of February.

There will be many breaks throughout the day, including a 35 minute lunch break.

If it is completed, please have her bring it to tomorrow's first Saturday rehearsal which begins @ 10am at Our Lady of Mercy.
