Contest, Cookies & Choreography!

Song & Video Challenge

Teams:

The competition will be between 4 casting groups, divided evenly as follows--

  Team A: Dragon & Fan

  Team B: Gymnasts, Lions, Percussion, Ribbon, Hockey, Narrator, Fiddle

  Team C: Ranching Large Group & Core

  Team D: Nativity
Note: Although youth may be in multiple scenes, each has a primary scene that they are assigned to. Refer to the Cast (Ward) page to see which casting group you are in.

Scoring:

Winning team is the one with highest point total for the night, scored as follows:

3 points - Attendance at rehearsal (max 3 points)

3 points - Visit the website three different days since previous rehearsal (1 per day, max 3 points)

3 points - Listen to all 5 song tracks (no limit)

1 point - Watch all three choreography videos (no limit)

Note: scores are counted from end of previous rehearsal.

For example someone who is in attendance, has visited the website on Sunday and on Monday, has listened to all 5 music tracks 10 times through (takes about 2.5 hours), and has watched all three choreo videos 12 times through (takes about 1 hour) would earn 3 + 2 + (3 x 10) + (1 x 12) = 47 points.

Prizes:

Winning team gets ~10 dozen cookies (ie: ~8 bags of Oreos or similar)

Highest individual total gets one bag of cookies and a carton of milk.

Leaders will record scores during attendance and will tabulate totals during first session. Awards given at first break, supplied by Derek & Steve. Prizes can vary from week to week, based on what is on sale and how much we have eaten for lunch that day.

Ready, set, GO!

Costumes Info

The information from Saturday's handout has been posted in the 'Costumes' section. There are example photographs of Rancher and Farmer outfits for YM and YW. Every youth participant is in this scene and will need a costume. This is coordinated at the ward level through the costume rep:

3rd Ward - Judy Takahashi

8th Ward - June Stanford

17th Ward - Jenn Lee 

Bow Valley - Shelly Hrebian 

Cochrane - Shannon Kerr

Rockyview - Isabelle Horne 

Royal Oak -- Lara Laplante

                     Marcy Stevenson 

Tuscany - Natalie Turner

The stake costumes committee for the Youth Celebration is looking for: solid colour cotton fabric or printed cotton fabric suitable for making prairie dresses. The fabric needs to be a minimum of 2 metres per piece. If you are willing to donate please contact Sister Maller at barb@mallerresources.com

Please note that Wednesday's rehearsal will begin at 6:45pm.

Old Joe Clark Choreography Available

The Old Joe Clark practice videos have been posted to the 'Choreography' section.

Others (ribbons, fans and farmer and cowman) will be coming soon

(probably early next week).

Other updates:

• All youth leaders have been assigned a scene and/or role to work with during rehearsals as a team. One of these leaders will act as the team leader and will be responsible to take attendance for the youth in that group. Team Leader assignments are on the Leader page (remaining leader assignments to follow).
• The cast list has been sorted by ward and provided on the Cast (Ward) page.

See you all tomorrow!

Rehearsal Rotation: Sat Sep 15

Here is the rotation for each group for the rehearsal held on Sat Sep 15 at the Stake Center.
Please note that the Ribbon group and the Dragon group will be starting at 9:30 am, while all others will begin singing in the chapel at 10:00 am. We hope to play some video footage from another Youth Celebration in the chapel from 9:30am to 10:00 am for those who arrive early. Each youth leader is being assigned to one scene, creating a support team for that scene which will carry through to the final performance.

The rehearsal will conclude in the chapel at 11:30 am, followed by a short announcement about costumes, following which we request your assistance to set up chairs for Stake Conference sessions.
