NATIONALS VIDEOS

Good morning... I talked to the folks who are doing the videos at Nationals and they let me know that based on our 31 entries and 32 families (so far) that the cost per video will be $35.00 each. If we get up to 40 families, the price will go to $32.00 - not a super big savings.


Each family can either write a check for $35.00 payable to Take 2 Video and give to me or whoever is at the desk and I will collect them tonight OR they can go to the video table at the competition and give them a check or credit card. They need to tell them they are part of the Legacy Dance Studio team.
On the first day, I plan to give them our form with all of the dances and the families listed that have signed up in advance along with any checks that I received.
Hope this makes sense!!! Let me know if there are any questions...
Thanks!!!!

Note from Video guy at Stage One Nationals

I think there is a sign up sheet in the studio for Nationals DVD's. Here is the information that we have received about this today...


Dear Studio Representative,


Take 2 Productions will be providing video and photo services at the Stage One - Gatlinburg Nationals. I am writing you to try to get together a Studio Compilation DVD for your Studio. A Studio Compilation DVD is a DVD of all of your studio's routines with a menu so that you can go right to whatever dance you desire to watch. This offer uses the power of a group purchase to provide you and your dance families an opportunity to purchase several routines at a huge discount, all on a custom DVD for your studio.

If your parents buy an individual custom DVD of their routines, they will spend $30 for the 1st routine, $20 for the 2nd routine, and so on. So if they buy 2 routines this way they will be spending $50 on only 2 routines. This is not a bad deal for a custom made personal DVD with professional quality video of your dances.

However, your dance families can get ALL of your studios routines on a single DVD or DVD SET for $35 to $55 each with the power of a large group purchase. This way they can have all of their routines as well as all of their friend's routines for hours of enjoyment and learning. In addition, we will provide you with a couple of complimentary DVD's for studio use as you see fit. You must sign up for a minimum of DVD's. And, as an added bonus for nationals, we will do a video introduction section on your DVD where the dancers introduce themselves. We will have to schedule a time sometime during the weekend to get this done. We will also be running many specials on photos in Branson. Please tell your parents to check out photos after their dances!

With your studio's amount of 19 entries I am giving a preliminary quote of $42 each with a minimum of 12 DVD's purchased.

Note from Legacy: We have 32 entries, I am guessing this is a cover letter. I am sure he will give you a good deal either way.


19 routines should fit on a single DVD or 2 DVD set



Please if you have questions about your ability to reach this amount contact me and we can try to adjust your quote to fit your needs.

I know you are very busy so please give this to a dance team mom and put her in charge of contacting the others and working with me.
Attached is a .pdf of a Studio Compilation DVD order form. The form attached allows you to list all of your routines and also has a worksheet list on the right hand side for you to keep track of the dance families who buy and how they paid. We will accept a single studio payment of check or credit card, or we will accept multiple payments by check, cash or credit card from your dance families that you can collect as you sign them up. You have all week to get this done and turn in to us. Just please get this turned in to us by the end of the competition week.

Nationals Information

I know it's summer and alot of you are ready to rest, but let's keep in mind we only have 2 more weeks to feel really really good about our dances. This year's nationals is going to be really tough. It's going to be a great honor to make it to the Shootout. Please come to your rehearsals for the next 2 weeks and then we will take a break.

Phantoms and B52's are welcome to come to as many ballet techniques and leaps and turns as they would like to attend. B52's can attend the Phantoms and Phantoms can attend the B52s. We have invested too much time and money not to excel at nationals. Thanks to you all!


National Finals Shootout Championship Information



The Shootout Championship Show will take place at the end of the regular National Competition and consist of (at least) the EIGHT top scoring routines in each age group (Petite, Junior, Teen, Senior). Shootout numbers will be chosen from all performance levels and from small groups, large groups and lines. A studio may only be represented once in each age group (Petite, Junior, Teen, Senior); thus each studio may have a maximum of FOUR routines competing in the Shootout. Shootout Champions, 1st and 2nd Runners Up will be presented in each age group. Shootout Champions will receive $250 cash plus a $250 Gift Certificate toward any 2013 Regional Competition. First Runners Up will receive a $200 Gift Certificate toward any 2013 Regional Competition, and 2nd Runners Up will receive a $100 Gift Certificate toward any 2013 Regionals.

Secondary Qualification:
A studio may qualify a SECOND Shootout routine in each Age Group if:
1. The routine's score would have originally qualified it for the Shootout.
2. The two qualifying teams have completely different performers.

No previously-qualified routines will be eliminated due to Secondary Qualification. If Secondary Qualification occurs, the Show will consist of more than eight routines in each age group.

Thank you!

Thank you is not enough to express the gratitude for the amazing gift from you all. I do not expect or deserve such generosity. I am truly blessed and so thankful for you all. I could not have received a better gift for the studio. My laptop is definitely on it's last few days. I can't wait to start using this. Thanks also for the gift cards for me and Jane for the spa! We love you all so much!
