2026 Spring Shows | Club Member Registration

Group Registration Options and Fees:  

• One Group | Adult Group Number | Skating Skills Group Number = $50  
• Two Group Numbers = $75  
• Full Show | Four Group Numbers = $95  

Skaters will be placed in specific numbers by the Show Director based on the overall ability of the skater. The Show Director will consider all facets of the skater when determining their placement in the show including current Skating Skills level, current Free skate level, number of competitions, skaters age, presence or performance ability on the ice, ice etiquette, overall attitude during classes, etc. All elements of a skater's abilities are carefully considered before placing them in the various group numbers. Skaters agree to accept any role for which they are cast. Solo | Features | Duet/Trio Skaters interested in these numbers will have minimum requirements they are expected to achieve between Jan-Dec preceding the annual ice show. These requirements help to establish that a skater has the experience to perform at the level expected for the show. Skaters will have the opportunity to audition, to have their skills evaluated, for their highlighted roles in December (date to be announced). Casting decisions will be made by the Show Director based on the same overall skating abilities outlined above for group numbers. Skaters agree to accept any role for which they are cast. There are no additional costs for skaters to perform in a solo, feature, duet/trio except for the costs of the costumes. Note: Associate members are not eligible for highlighted roles

Additional Options and Fees:  

• Family/Skater = $50 | Open to any family member aged 16 and older. Due to safety issues any participant in the family/skater is highly encouraged to sign up for a Learn to Skate class if they have not skated in the last nine months. Child skater level must be a minimum of Basic 6.  
• Skating Skills Group = $50 | Open all club and associate members who have passed the Pre-Preliminary Skating Skills test  
• Senior Solo = No Cost | Available to all club members graduating from high school. (Not available to associate members.)  

Show Details:
Registration fees & costume deposit are non-refundable.

Additional Show Costs

• Costumes: a $25 costume deposit will be required at the time of registration. Generally, costumes range from $30-$75+ per number and will be decided by the Show Committee. The total cost for costumes will be paid upon delivery of the costumes. Once costumes are ordered, they are not returnable or refundable.
• Tickets: Each family is required to purchase a minimum of 6 tickets at the time of registration. Tickets cost $8 for adults and school age children 5 and older. Tickets can be resold. Each registered skater will receive one VIP ticket. The VIP ticket allows admittance into both performances for a guardian, of the same sex as the skater, to help the skater get dressed.

• Additional discounted tickets are available for $10 each and can be purchased until one week prior to the show.
• Senior citizens (60 and over) and students (with ID) will be $7 at the door

Practice Schedule

We will share the practice schedule for group numbers soon. Each group will have at least three (3) practices, 30–45 minutes each. Times will be set based on the size of the group and the complexity of the choreography.

Typical Practice Times:

• Weekdays at 4:30 PM or later
• Sunday mornings
• After Club Ice on Saturdays

Spring Show Week:

• Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday: Full show run-throughs — skaters must stay until dismissed by the show director or committee chair. If your group doesn’t need to attend, you will be notified.
• Friday: Official Dress Rehearsal — skaters must be in full costume.

A full schedule will be sent to all skaters once group assignments are complete.

ALL REHEARSALS ARE MANDATORY!

If you must miss a rehearsal for a number and wish to remain in that number, you are required to:

1. Contact the coach choreographing the number AND one of the show chairs before the rehearsal to notify them of your absence.
2. Arrange and pay for a private lesson with the coach to learn the missed material.

If you miss more than one rehearsal for any number, you may be removed from that number. You will still be responsible for the cost of the costume.

Costume Measurements
After registration closes, a show chairperson will take costume measurements for all skaters. Please watch for an email for further instructions and measurement dates. For the most accurate measurements, skaters should wear tight-fitting clothing.

* This will be done early due to supply chain and delivery delays. We want to make sure we get our costumes in on time for the show. *

Senior Solo

Skaters who qualify for a Senior Solo are asked to provide a skater biography and a senior photo. These will be featured in the show program and displayed at the rink during AFSC events. Additional photos may be requested later. Please send this information to the Show Chairpersons by October 31st.

Senior soloists may choose their own music, which will be reviewed by the Show Director. Music length should match the skater’s competition level. All choreography must be completed by a Club Coach and be “competition-ready” for the show.

Volunteer Information

Our Spring Show is a true team effort, and we love having families involved! Most volunteer opportunities happen from March through January in the year before the show. Skaters who help during this time are often considered for highlight roles in the following year’s show.

If you couldn’t volunteer last year, no problem — there are still plenty of ways to get involved! Just reach out to the Show Chairs or the Club President, and we’ll help you find a role that fits your schedule and interests.

Additional opportunities may be added as we get closer to the show, so keep an eye out for updates.
