Oireachtas timing Fri/Sat. & links to the Facebook Site
Dear all,
We are getting close now! Our final teams practices will be taking place this week at the Junction, with Mock Oireachtas on Sunday, November 21st (separate, detailed email to come) and last team/solo classes finishing Tuesday, November 23rd. Please do your best to keep masked and stay healthy for each other – we are in the home stretch.
FRIDAY, Nov. 26th:We need ALL OID TEAM MEMBERS to be in the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention area by 4pm near the Practice Stage, 2nd floor. Look for OID gear and gather. We will practice the four youngest teams 4-6pm (U8, U10, U12 & U15 4-hand), the older teams 6pm-8pm (U15 8-hand, O15 & O18) pending Friday’s recalls/sets timing). Plan ahead for parking, walking, meals and a good night’s sleep!
SATURDAY, Nov. 27th:
Team competitions begin at 9am Saturday morning. You can see in the chart below that competitions are in block time – we will not have more detailed information on what order they go in until the Thursday night before. All teams need to meet together for hair/makeup/ costume checks well in advance of your competition and remain together near your hall. Donna will be contacting team parents to help coordinate looks and watch the stages that morning.
Trad Set competitions will take place after teams. All Team Dancers must remain in the area until results are posted, which determines who will attend awards at 4:30pm. Regardless of results, we encourage you to stay to cheer on the teams that get to go!
