2013 Color Guard Auditions

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for your interest in joining the American Fork High School Color Guard. We are planning on a 40-55 member color guard this year as we prepare for parades, field show, and BOA Grand Nationals.

Below you find information regarding auditions.

Dates for Auditions...
We will be holding our final audition on April 27th, 2013 from 8-12 noon. Registration will be in the band room at the high school, and auditions will be held in the north gym. For those at the junior high, we will be there the 24th and 25th (A1-A3 and B1-B3) in Mrs. Scott's class teaching a short dance class. If you can make it, we would love to have you join us on those days.

What to expect...
You do NOT need experience to be a member of the AFHS Color Guard. We will begin auditions with a stretch, across the floors, flag technique, and a short flag routine. Around 11 a.m. we will begin the audition process. You will NOT be auditioning alone. You will be in groups of at least 5.

What to wear...
Please come prepared in dance attire, or clothes that you can move easily in. NO jeans or sweats please. Dance pants and gym shorts are best.

What to prepare for...
We will teach you everything you need to know on the 27th. However, coming with a positive attitude is best. Also, dance experience is great - but not mandatory to audition.

If you have any questions, please contact Tiffany Miller at afcolorguard@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing you on the 27th.

Canceled Parent Meeting

Hello Parents,

It seems that this year has certainly served up some bumps in our guard program. I first want to thank you all for your continued support. 

I have decided to cancel the parent meeting for tonight. Below are the things we were going to discuss, and the reason as to why I am canceling the meeting. 

If you did not receive a packet at auditions, I will be emailing them out by tonight. This packet includes rehearsal times and competition dates.

Also, at the bottom of this email is a list of all the blogs. Please keep track of the blog weekly for information regarding your students team. The B & Wasatch Academy blog is going through a few changes, but should be finished by tomorrow.

Ok - here are the items that were to be discussed tonight:

Payment for B Guard and Wasatch Academy

We have been working through this change for 3 weeks. As of this morning, nothing has been resolved. We are no longer able to take money at the high school for anyone who is not 9th-12th grades. So, we have been working with the junior high and the district to get this worked out. Still a work in progress. I am sorry we don't have more answers for you. Please be patient with me and I hope to have a resolution by the end of this week.

Tour for A And Open Guards

We were finally approved the day before the Thanksgiving break to go on our trip. However, the San Diego Regional was full by that time. I am looking into other options as well as trying to get more information from WGI about this regional. But, there is a waiting list right now. I have made the decision not to put our name on this waiting list. We would have to pay the $400 - which is non refundable - and most likely not get into the competition. 

Again, I am looking into a few other options. But this is all the information I have at this time.

I am so appreciative of all the parents for your love and support. It has been a rough year for me. I have hit a lot of obstacles that I wasn't expecting and I am so thankful to work with the parents and staff that I do. THANK  YOU!!

Sincerely,

Tiffany Miller
