PARENTS AND CANDIDATES – PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY!
TRY-OUT CLINICS

There will be three clinics held on Monday, May 6^th; Tuesday, May 7^th and Wednesday, May 8^th from 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. in the Commons. You MUST attend two of the three clinics in order to be eligible to try-out. It is highly recommended that you attend all three days. If you have a conflict due to another sport or activity, please contact Mrs. Mackey so that we can work with you.

All forms must be completed and turned in prior to tryouts on the Friday, May 10^th . All candidates will learn a short dance routine and be asked to demonstrate proper techniques for full turns, toe touches and a separate 8 count move that you will be judged on. Attached is a checklist to help you prepare for the clinics.
TRY-OUTS

Try-outs will be Friday, May 10^th in the Auditorium. We will begin with warm-ups at 3:30, and run through the routine as a group. You will be given a few minutes to refresh yourselves and actual tryouts will begin promptly at 4:15. Each candidate will try-out to the same short routine in small groups. You will be judged on your knowledge of the routine, and skill, as well as crowd appeal. Try-outs will be judged by qualified coaches and expert dancers. A list of those who made the team will be posted outside the Copy Room (1404), Marengo Dance Team Facebook page, and on the website no later than 8 a.m. on Monday, May 13^th.
