ANNOUNCEMENTS 8.21-8.28

TREMOR: COMP SCHEDULE CHANGE
Due to a conflict we will be adjusting our competition schedule slightly. We will now be attending Spirit Celebration Grand Nationals on 12/6-12/7 (we will only perform one day) and will NOT be attending ACA nationals in January. We apologize for this change and have updated this information in both the program schedule and detailed schedule in the announcements section.
ALL STAR: NASHVILLE UPDATE URGENT!
This week and last week Varsity opened for competition registration. They do this is in waves by event type to be sure they don’t get overloaded and their site functions. Our company is attending 3 Grand National events, and I registered in the order of our schedule starting at the exact time it was available. Unfortunately, the Nashville event was sold out and put on a waitlist after only 7minutes and I got to the page 12 minutes after registering for Spirit Celebration and ACA which have been sold out events in the past. We are currently on that wait list but will not know until next week (hopefully) if we will be able to be included. This event has never sold out before so there was no indication from or to Varsity to be aware of this potential- otherwise I would have gone to their page first! I have contacted everyone on all platforms to see what can be done and will continue to do so. All of this to say, please hold on to book any travel arrangements for this event until we know more details. We do know that they have added Friday 3/27 as a day of the event but we do not know what teams will perform on that day. We will share with you all as soon as we find something out! Thank you for your understanding and patience! This is a first for us after doing it for over 20 years! -Alison
