Another Troupe Update

As usual, a couple of things...

1. Yes, we'll have a brief meeting this morning (Sat. April 7th) after the 9am Zumba class at YHG.

2. For clothing options, and other troupe information you may have missed (if you did not receive the previous 7 e-mails), go to http://stthomaszumba.blogspot.com/ or contact me.  It is not too late to join.  If you're considering joining, please see customized clothing options (t-shirt, bottom) on the blog.

3. We have decided on a troupe fee (to cover the cost of a DJ, food, decorations, etc.): $50.00/per person. We were working hard to get it down to $40.00, but unfortunately, the sound system donated by Antilles may not be adequate for our needs, increasing our expenses.  Please pay this nominal fee as soon as possible, but no later than Saturday, April 14, 2012.

4. Thank you to troupe members who have referred DJs to us.  We're working with a couple of them to see what we can get for the best price.  Thanks again!

5. If anyone would like to make a monetary contribution to the troupe, please let me know. We sure could use it to supplement this nominal troupe fee!

6. After the Easter holidays, we will get the Carnival music from our hired DJ (one more song for performances at Emancipation Gardens & Lionel Roberts Stadium).  We hope to have a Carnival song for Joni's choreography next week.  Practice times and videotaped choreography are coming, we promise!

7. We're official! Our Carnival application was turned in at the Carnival Office on Monday, April 2, 2012 (troupe under 50 / competing entry).

8. For those who ordered Zumba wear from zumba.com, your items have been shipped to the VI and should arrive some time next week.  Thanks, Joni!  For those who are owed refunds, you will receive more information via a separate e-mail.

9. I found (and bought) a pair of these funky, flourescent shoelaces (45 inches) to wear on parade day (see below).  And guess what?  They're only $1.99 @ Payless! (Mine were bought @ the Wheatley Center location.)

I think that's about it, for now... (Remind me if I've forgotten something major. Thanks!)


Peace, Zumba love, (and Easter blessings, for those who celebrate the holy day).
