Please block off Saturday Feb. 1 and Saturday Feb. 15th for potential rehearsals: please be flexible in the event that we need to call additional rehearsals to keep our routines on track for success. We will only call a rehearsal on either (or both) of those days if it is 100% needed (examples: adjusting choreography, reworking formations for injury, potential lost time due to bad weather, or simply needing to continue polishing).

We are adding a section to our handbook that provides clarification on medical notes and trainer expectations. The new procedures were created to support our dancers. This addition will be reflected in the drill team handbook beginning Jan. 6th. Please see below.

**We have made the decision to not compete solos at Nationals. The focus at Nationals is the full team.

We are so excited to bring the Escadrille to the 137th Tournament of Roses Parade! Over the break, Mrs. O'Neill traveled to California to preview next year's trip. We attended a director's dinner at the Tournament of Roses House, toured the parade route, attended the parade on TV corner, and previewed the Disney parade route. It was a very informative and enjoyable week in Pasadena! The TOR parade is a very impressive organization and we are honored to be a part of the parade next year! We are looking forward to a trip of a lifetime next year!
