PREMIER PREP AND ALL STAR: TUMBLE AND FLYER TIMES

As sent in BAND, these times will continue after Spring Break. The schedule will be the same as it originally was.

ALL STAR: COMPETITION UPDATES

*All updates and changes are reflected in Important Dates, Program Schedule and Detailed Schedule*

-Regional Summit and the March event have been removed from Important Dates section since we all have our bids to Summit.

-Intense: We will be removing your March event as well since we already have our bid, would like to use that time to continue to prep for Summit and this event does not offer paid bids so there is no possibility of an upgrade there. Since this has you guys one competition short from what was in the handbook, we will be placing a credit on your Excite! Account within the next 2 weeks.
