Global Gala Demo

Hello Everyone,

Here is some information related to the Global Gala demonstration we have this weekend.

Dress Rehearsal:

Dress rehearsal is Wednesday March 26th. We are in the second group so our reporting time is 6pm and we will be one of the last groups. Dress rehearsal is mostly to iron out details on the technical side, such as making sure whoever needs a microphone will have one. We will NOT be running through the demonstration at rehearsal. If you can make it, great!

Mat Moving:

We will need to move one of the demo mats on Friday March 28th for the demo. Brandon from rec services has offered to bring a van. We will need people at 2:45-2:50pm on Friday to carry the mat from the gym to the van and then to unload the mat at the MU and carry it into the Great Hall. Please help out if you are available. The more people we have, the easier it is to carry and move the mat!

Global Gala Demonstration:

I will send out another email when we are given the reporting times for the demonstration. We are the closing act of the event! There will likely be a group photo after and then please stick around to help move the mat back to Forker. We will not have the van so we will be carrying the mat the entire way. 

 

Best,

Renee Alexander
