ipating have the information
listed on pg. 2 of this newslet-
ter.
This newsletter also has infor-
mation about what to wear for
each class and what day they
are performing.
We have some new & great
changes to the Holidazzle this
year, so please read through to
make sure you have all the new
details.
All Sterling Silver students and
their families are invited to the
holiday parties to enjoy snacks
compliments of the P.A.S.S.
Foundation and meet Santa!
Dates:
Monday, December 17
Tuesday, December 18
Location: Cathedral School
Gymnasium, 1419 Baxter,
Superior
Performer Rehearsal Drop off:
4:00 p.m. The closed rehears-
al is for performers only.
Please drop off your perform-
ers in the gymnasium on the
lower level of the school.
All classes performing will
have a quick rehearsal in the
gymnasium at 4:00 with their
class just to make sure their
routines look sharp for the
show!
To ensure a smooth and quick
rehearsal it is important that
everyone arrives on time and
is ready to practice! : )
Performance Time: 5:30 p.m.,
Doors will open to family &
friends at 5:00 p.m.
Attention 2018 Christmas City
Parade Performers: You are
welcome and encouraged to
perform in the grand finale
during both Holidazzle shows.
If you are only performing in
grand finale for one of the
shows you don’t have to arrive
at rehearsal until 4:30 on that
day. If you are in other rou-
tines for any of the shows you
will still need to arrive by
4:00.
Tips for a smooth and
relaxed performance
•It is very busy on show and re-
hearsal days. Please make sure
you ask your teachers questions
at class before the day of the
show to avoid confusion.
•To avoid congestion, please
have one parent or adult bring
your child to rehearsal. Invite
the rest of your family to come
as the gymnasium doors open at
5:00 p.m. before the perfor-
mance begins. Everyone is invit-
ed to stay after the performance
for the holiday party!
•If you see someone without a
smile, share yours with them!
Have a wonderful holiday break!
See you in January.

2018 Christmas City of the North
Parade
We would like to thank all of the dancers, twirlers and volunteers who participated in the 2018
Christmas City of the North Parade on November 16. This year marked our 28th year in the
parade and it was a huge success! Everyone did a fabulous job.
We also want to thank the Crescent Moon band for playing live for us during both of the pa-
rades. This was Crescent Moon’s 7th year performing live with Sterling Silver Studio during the
Christmas City of the North Parade. Hopefully we will have the honor of performing with them
again year after year.
