#7 – CanSkate E

#6 – CanSkate B

#5 - CanSkate C

With many skaters in multiple groups and some quick changes with the schedule, please ensure that you are back to the curtain in adequate time.

For those New-To-STARSkate, we do ask that no parents are in the dressing rooms to avoid congestion and other children changing. However, they are permitted to come in to help with a quick change if needed but the parent does have to be of the same sex. Males are not permitted in female dressing rooms, and females are not permitted in male dressing rooms at any time. Should you need a space, we do have full access to the referee dressing rooms as well. Also, STARSkaters will be watching the show from the stands with all their peers if they’re not on the ice or changing. They typically sit to the right side just beside the curtain, so they can see the show and be ready to go on at a moment’s notice. This is something that they all look forward to and enjoy the most – celebrating, enjoying the show with their skating friends.

REMINDERS

· ALL Skaters should be in their dressing room area no later than 6:00PM

· No Flash Photography

· Coaches have advised that all skaters should wear a low ponytail with middle part

· STAR Group 1 (Blue) – Please remember to wear black or dark colored bike shorts under your dress

Wall of Messages:

Our 2026 Ice Show is quickly approaching, and we would like to offer you the opportunity to acknowledge your skater at the Show!

We want to create a “Wall of Messages” for everyone to see and read throughout the Ice Show. When the Ice Show is over, skaters can take their messages home to keep.

Messages are for ANY SKATER from ANYONE for ANY REASON throughout the skating season, that you feel they should be recognized for. No reason is too big or too small to notice! Some Congratulations Ideas could be:

- Special Award/Medal

- Showing up to every practice

- Learning to tie your skates

- Trying or accomplishing something new

- Achieving goals that were set

- ANYTHING that made their skating season special

Messages are $10 per message with No Limit to how many you can purchase. DEADLINE is Sunday, April 12th at 12:00 Noon.

How Do I Purchase A Message?

Step 1: Log into your Skater Account and click on the "Shopping Cart".

Step 2: Click on “Purchase Products” and add "Ice Show – Skater Message" to the cart.

Step 3: Go to your cart, type your message into the “Comments Regarding Invoice” section, and complete your purchase. We will then print your message on special paper and post it on the Message Wall.

Let’s spread all the Positive Vibes & Kindness to our skaters on their final performance of the season!

Volunteer With Us!

To Volunteer Please - Sign Up Here

We still need a few spaces filled, especially our CanSkate Group Parent Volunteers (Note: You will still get to watch the show & your ticket is FREE)

Parent Group Volunteer is an Easy, Fun, & Rewarding task. All you need to do for ½ of the show is help your group parents sign their child in & out of the dressing room and sit with the group (and your child) in the stands for their half of the show.

***Note: We sign off on High School volunteer hours!***
