Canceled Parent Meeting

Hello Parents,

It seems that this year has certainly served up some bumps in our guard program. I first want to thank you all for your continued support. 

I have decided to cancel the parent meeting for tonight. Below are the things we were going to discuss, and the reason as to why I am canceling the meeting. 

If you did not receive a packet at auditions, I will be emailing them out by tonight. This packet includes rehearsal times and competition dates.

Also, at the bottom of this email is a list of all the blogs. Please keep track of the blog weekly for information regarding your students team. The B & Wasatch Academy blog is going through a few changes, but should be finished by tomorrow.

Ok - here are the items that were to be discussed tonight:
Payment for B Guard and Wasatch Academy
We have been working through this change for 3 weeks. As of this morning, nothing has been resolved. We are no longer able to take money at the high school for anyone who is not 9th-12th grades. So, we have been working with the junior high and the district to get this worked out. Still a work in progress. I am sorry we don't have more answers for you. Please be patient with me and I hope to have a resolution by the end of this week.

Tour for A And Open Guards
We were finally approved the day before the Thanksgiving break to go on our trip. However, the San Diego Regional was full by that time. I am looking into other options as well as trying to get more information from WGI about this regional. But, there is a waiting list right now. I have made the decision not to put our name on this waiting list. We would have to pay the $400 - which is non refundable - and most likely not get into the competition. 
Again, I am looking into a few other options. But this is all the information I have at this time.

I am so appreciative of all the parents for your love and support. It has been a rough year for me. I have hit a lot of obstacles that I wasn't expecting and I am so thankful to work with the parents and staff that I do. THANK  YOU!!

Sincerely,
Tiffany Miller
Director, American Fork & Wasatch Color Guards
