Hey Jr. Faculty Members, We have a few busy weeks approaching and I just want to make sure everyone knows what they are suppose to be doing during all of the craziness. Please read through ALL of this email BEFORE JUNE 12TH.
ALL 1-DAY CAMPS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED-if you were previously signed up to work one of the 1 day camps for summer, they have been cancelled and you will not have to work them.
Next week starts our summer weeklong camps. I have attached the sign up sheet, Incase you need to review. check the season at the top. You may have to click on the 2021/2022 sheet tap at the Bottom of the window.
I encourage EVERYONE to take a quick look at it, and make sure that the days that you are signed up to help out a camp, work with your schedule still.
Weeklong Camp schedule

If you are NOT able to fulfill your commitment to the camp you are signed up to help with, it is your responsibility to find someone to cover your place. You can use the jr. faculty contact sheet to reach out to members or ask them in person. change the name on the sign up sheet so I know who is working each camp.
Jr. Faculty Contacts- This is only for Jr. Faculty member use

All camps end at 12pm Noon
- once all dancers have been picked up, please clean up Room 3 so that it is prepared for afternoon classes
- There will be regular classes running after ALL camps, so it is very important that we make sure Room 3 is cleaned and ready for dancers
After room is clean, you may leave
- Jr. Faculty 16+ lock up
All camp crafts are prepped and ready to go.
- if you craft included painting you will need to go to the back storage area and pick out your paint color & brushes
- ***Do this before the camp starts-This is part of the “Set up”
- I highly encourage using the divider trays for the crafts to help set things out and make it easier for the dancers to grab supplies as needed.
- Most crafts have examples, but if one of yours doesn’t jr. faculty or Tan can you make one please? some of the paper ones don’t hold up as well and need to be redone.
- Grab your crafts from the Craft Bin. Once you have finished doing the craft, place it in the Finished craft bin
- There will be 2 clear storage containers, Labeled with this on them in room 3, & a storage container for the snacks.
- ***Remember 1 Snack a day.
I think we have reached the END!Thank you for sticking it through to the end of this email with me!
One last reminder the responsibility of being a Jr. Faculty Member is, yours & yours alone. Not Moms or Dads. This is practice for having a Real Job one day.
Have a great week! I know things are crazy with the last few days of school, & promotions & graduations, etc. This is why I am sending this out with plenty of time to read it on another day if needed or to ask questions.

****Choreo videos below****
Please learn this choreography in your free time
I expect ALL Jr. Faculty to take the time they need to learn this routine in their free time, if you haven’t already. As a dancer/ performer any performance opportunity, big or small is an opportunity to represent yourself and your performance abilities along with your work ethic.
(This is a valuable real life work skill as well. While it might not be learning a dance, it could be learning a new program, software, or procedures quickly and then put them into action.the end result is not always the end all/be all, the honest effort you put forth into trying, sometimes speaks at a much higher volume)
***Formations will be done the day of (just like all of our other performances have been) depending on the time that everyone gets there I may or may not be able to help you with this. You guys can also plan to meet ahead of time together to determine formations. Mrs. Nina goes over formations and details of the dance in the video break down.

Camp sign ups/assignments
I will be updating the 1 day camp sign ups and adding the actual dates. There will only be one, 1 day camp for each week (NOT 2 like originally expected) this should help free up some to be able to be more flexible. Your original 1 day camp that i had you placed to work will either be changes, removed, or stay the same.
I know it can be difficult to plan so far a head, but it is always better to have too much tike than not enough time . I just want you to try and plan to the beat of your ability and be mindful of time management.
i will attach the sign up form here when it has been updated with dates. Give me until tomorrow (Thursday 4/7) to rework it
updated below Please let me know if i messed something up. Check both the 1 day and the weeklong. i had to make some adjustments due to overlap once I took away some 1 day assignments.

Most of the TAs assigned for the class are already the regular Teas for those classes. Some have been given classes that didn’t have any TAs. Almost every class ( with the exception of very few) have been assigned a second TA to help out and be an extra hand when needed, but your job is the same as staying with the class the whole time while back stage.
It has been 2 years since we have done a live stage performance like this and for most of these dancers, this will be their first time so everything will seem new & maybe scary. We are going to need all hands on deck and as much help as possible.

November 3rd Update
Holiday Routine
This is the dance at will be performed at the Little Stars show on December 5th, the Oakley Tree lighting on December 4th, & Possibly the Streets of Brentwood tree lighting on November 28th
even if you are only able to attend 1 of those performances I recommend to learn at least a part of the routine
I will be sending out 2 videos 1 with the Parade Routine & another with the Tree Lighting & Little Stars. The routine will be the same for the Little Stars Show as it will be for the Tree Lightings. Again super fun & easy!
I would like to plan to meet on Thursdays at 5:45pm-6pm starting TOMORROW 11/4 to do formations & clean. I know a large amount of Jr. Faculty Members are already there at this time and there just so happens to be an open room. We will only have 3 weeks of practice time between now and the 1st tree lighting.
Little Stars Show, if you are a TA for any of those classes performing in the little stars show, you will NEED to be at that performance or find a sub who can learn the routine for your class to help out on show day.
If you don’t have any classes performing at the little stars performance you are more than welcome to come and help!

October 27th Update
Homecoming Choreography
I will be at the studio again on Thursday at 5:45-6pm if anyone wants to go over it, or if I have everyone, I will do formations, if not then I will just wait until Friday.
Choreo Playlist link:
“Vroom, Vroom” section, 4;8 counts
This will be a free style section, everyone needs to come up with a minimum of 4 counts (1,2,3,4,) or anything up to 1;8 count (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
use this as a time to showcase yourself. Tricks, kicks, flips are all great! Choreography is also 100% acceptable! Please get creative & use this as an opportunity! You may also do this with a partner or trio, even a group of 4 is fine! we will go over the order for who goes on what count either Thursday or Friday. If you don’t have something prepared, I will give you something on Friday.
Homecome Details:
The Homecoming parade is scheduled for Friday, October 29th at 6pm
Call time is 5pm.
We will meet on Fist Street; between Birch st. & Fir st.
Look for my Grey Jeep Cherokee, I will have balloons tied to it.
If I get our exact number I will let you know before hand.
The parade will head down first street, turning right on Maple street, and then continue onto Second street, to enter into the Liberty Parking lot, in years past we have also gone around the football field and then ended, but I am not sure. I am waiting confirmation for a definite ending point for you guys to pick up your dancer.
Dismissal
if your dancer will be meeting up with you in the stands or hanging out with friends after the parade, please fill out the form attached so that I can release them WITHOUT your presence at the end of the parade. I hate to be OCD, I just want to make sure I keep your kids as safe as possible, but I also know there are a handful that have siblings on dance team, who will be capable of finding you guys as well.
Release Form:

Homecoming Parade
October 29th
ECPAC was invited to participate in the homecoming parade. I would love to have Jr. Faculty represent ECPAC! It is short notice, but all the more reason to have my right hand helper participate! I will be recording a short routine for you guys to learn to perform. If you are in high school dance line you will not need to participate.
No stress, this will be so much fun!
Little Stars
Sunday December 5th
If you are a TA for a class that is 7 years or younger your class will be beginning choreography in the coming weeks. You will need to know this for their performance. You will also need to write this choreography down in your TA notebooks. If you are unable to attend the actual little stars performance you will need to find a replacement for you, for that day to help your class. If you do not TA a class that is performing in little stars show, but would like to help out please let me know as well.
