Dear Parents,

 

Your daughter has expressed an interest in auditioning for the 2009-2010 Kraemer Middle School Colorguard. 

 

The KMS Colorguard is a performance group on campus.  It is an extra-curricular activity that meets twice a week after school and some Saturdays throughout the school year.  It has a high reputation of being one of the best junior high Colorguards in Southern California.  The KMS Colorguard has consistently earned top awards at local parades and Winterguard competitions for the past decade. 

 

To become a member of the team, each girl will be asked to attend a weeklong clinic to learn the audition routine.  This year the dates are: 5/27, 5/28, 5/29 from 4:00-6:00.  Saturday 5/30 from 9AM -11AM and Auditions will be held on Monday 6/1 from 4:00-7:00.  In addition to the routine, each girl will be asked to submit teacher evaluations for all CORE classes.  This is to ensure that all candidates are academically eligible for participation.

 

As with all performance groups there is a financial contribution.  There is an approximate fee of $600 to become a member.  This fee covers the Fall & Spring Performance uniform, jazz shoes, warm-ups, flags, etc.  Do not worry though; this fee is not required all at once.  There is a payment plan that goes into effect for 6 months once a student makes the team.  This equates to $100 a month until November. 

 

I am excited that your daughter has taken an interest in this program.  With that interest comes some responsibility.  It is in the interest of everyone to acknowledge the commitment of being on a team and if selected, to make every effort to honor that commitment.  By signing below you agree to allow your daughter to continue in the audition process, and if selected to uphold all the commitments that the team requires.

 

Thank You,
