The dates for this Show are Friday 8th and Saturday 9th of April 2011. There will be rehearsals on Saturday 2nd and Tuesday 5th April, with the Dress Rehearsal on Wednesday 6th April. Please would parents and friends put these dates in their diaries now. Schools do not break until the 8th so we do not anticipate and holiday clashes. More details will follow both on here and in newsletters as time progresses.
Ipswich Show 2010 profits for CLIC Sargent
We now have the final figures from the theatre for the Ipswich Show. As most of you know, we perform our annual shows on a non-profit basis, with ALL monies over and above costs, being donated to CLIC Sargent, Cancer Care for Children and families. The money raised locally goes specifically into local use by CLIC Sargent, so we continue to help families in the East who are unfortunately having to cope with the effects of cancer in young people.
Costs this year have risen again, but we are still delighted to report that we have made a profit of £1,257.99 which is to be donated entirely to CLIC Sargent. Over the years we have now raised a magnificent sum of £25,092 for CLIC.
Ipswich Medal Tests
On Saturday June 19th, we held Medal Tests at the Spa Pavilion Felixstowe. This is where some of the dances from the Show are danced again in front of an adjudicator, who awards medals to the group on their performance and costumes and preparation. There were some very good awards made, including several High Merits and several Honours. Honours is the highest award at any level, so to achieve this is testament to the hard work and commitment of the pupils. Well done to everyone wo took part in this. The adjudicator remarked how she had watched the standard of dancing in the school rise tremendously over the last few years.
The Princess and The Frog
This year's show has been a great success. The audience seemed to be enjoying it tremendously, judging by the whoops and cheers and applause. The girls all thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the Show and were no doubt thrilled to hear the applause. The expected 'aaaaahhhhhhhs' when the babes came on stage were there in abundance. The Show was full of variety in the dancing, from the tiny babes taking their first tentative (but very enthusiastic) steps onto the stage, through the various age groups and dance abilities, right through to the adult ballet which included some of the teachers (just to show they can do it as well as teach).
The Show was supported by some stunning lighting effects, again provided by Richard White of Total Eclipse Lighting who brought some of his newest moving lights to create mood and tone to the dances.
Special thanks go to Anne Alcock, who again managed all of the chaperones, without whom we could not run the Shows. Those who chaperoned for the School are warmly thanked for their time and commitment.
We will publish the profits that were made from the Show as soon as we know the final figures. Whatever profit there is will be donated in full to CLIC Sargent Cancer Care for Children and their Families.
