Dupree Payment Due 1/11/09
 

Dupree payments are due on Sunday, January 11, 2009.

Thanks to your fundraising efforts, all Competing dancers and Understudies (only) will get a $40 credit towards their Dupree fees.

This will be a new convention for the whole team although some team members have attended in the past. There are limitations (as there are with all competition-workshop combinations) on the number of pieces a studio can bring and number of solos. We are limited to 20 total pieces however I will find out if we can submit more than that are at least be put on a wait list. We want to give all duos/trios and soloists the opportunity to dance their pieces in the 2008-09 scheduled events however this may not be possible this year because of the amazing interest in doing specialty pieces. Many duos/trios are competing at other events so we will determine (in the most fair way possible) which duos and solos will compete at Dupree. Please note that Dupree does not set up a platform stage. You will compete on the floor so be prepared to a small wood area and partial carpet (unless they make changes this year). Thank you for your understanding.

Below are the general fees and below that are the fees for all the dances that are competing. If I’m missing a dance, please let me know immediately. Your PC account will be billed accordingly.
