Here we go #SIG2016

Our 2016 season is about to be underway and I am just a ball of excitement over it. I can’t believe how far we have come as a team and I am so glad to be sharing in this journey with our fans, especially on our YouTube channel.

We have a new show designer this year and he has provided some excellent pieces to the overall puzzle of our show. Leah, Merideth, and I are placing choreography into the drill like a paint by number and things are fitting like a glove. Anna is in control of the vlog and doing an excellent job of that as well so if you haven’t watched it already, put some hustle on answer check it out. Our uniforms came in this week so dress rehearsal this weekend will be a colorful affair. I already made the show announcement to our email subscribers, and our social media announcement will be coming soon! I am thinking next week?

Our performers have had a lot going on in their personal lives as well; I won’t delve into their own details unless they are included in our vlog… Because let’s face it, who really wants their entire life out there for anyone to see and read?! If you watched this week’s vlog then you know we had a member get engaged at rehearsal! It was an adorable affair that her fiance called me to set up in advance. Unfortunately for the team she didn’t see how she would have time to both plan a wedding and perform with Spintronix so she quit shortly after that rehearsal. We have had a member do it before, and not just plan the wedding but she is carrying out her marriage during the week and performing with us on weekends now. But not everyone is dedicated like that unfortunately. So this leaves us with a second open position for a performer.

Another member had knee surgery this week. I have to say she is the most hard core kid I think we have had. She’s been dancing, performing, and being incredible on her knee all this time, thinking she will just walk it off. When her MRI showed a torn and folded meniscus though, her only questions were “how long until I can dance again, and when is the soonest you can fit me in?” They did surgery the next day and she will be sitting through rehearsal for about a month. It’s the dedicated kids like these that make the organization hold together as strong as it does!!

Rehearsal tonight, stay tuned for another vlog on Tuesday!
