Many thanks to all the NPIDA extended family members and friends who came to the 2013 Worlds fundraiser event last night. We greatly appreciate your support! Thank you as well to everyone who bought wine raffle tickets from our Worlds families.

This was definitely not an ideal environment for taking photos; my apologies to those dancers I did not catch in action. Stay tuned for Cheryl's group portraits in the near future!

Keeping Track of Your Eire Born Shows

The following information has been submitted by Nicole D, who tallies all performance attendance forms for Eire Born dancers:

Dear Eire Born Dancers and Show Captains,

As Eire Born dancers are heading into a busy show time - here is a gentle reminder…

As you are all aware, your attendance at each and every show you dance at is recorded so that accurate numbers can be reported at various times of the year (for awards, reimbursements etc). Many times there are situations where a cut-off point for reimbursement is a matter of one or two shows for dancers so it DOES matter if they aren't recorded as being at a show.

Print off several copies of the Show Attendance form so you always have one. The names on the "Single Show" attendance sheet and the "Multiple Show" attendance sheet are exactly the same so it doesn't really matter what sheet you use. The multiple show sheet was created to make it easier for you during St. Pat's days where you are rushing from one venue to another...

Note to Show Captains:

The most UP TO DATE Eire Born dancer attendance list is now on the school website for you to print off and take to each show you are a captain for. The forms can be found in the "Dancer Info" section of the website: www.eireborn.net

 

As with last year, no one will come looking for your show sheets as it is your responsibility to submit them as part of being a show captain. If you miss reporting a show, all the dancers with you are also being missed getting the attendance credit for that show.

Your attendance sheets can be handed in to the North Vancouver Studio EBIDS file and they will be collected. No e-mails please.

Note to ALL Dancers:

It is your responsibility to ASK your show captain if they have done the attendance for the show you are at. It will make a difference for you.

Note to parents:

If you would like to find out if your dancer has been recorded at any particular show they have done, please feel free to contact me and I can answer that question.

 

Thanks,

Nicole
