2012 ICE SHOW INFORMATION
Each year the BBFSC is invited to participate in the Grand Forks Park Board's Ice Show. The club is given a generous amount of spots in
the show. They are for group numbers, solos and synchronized skating teams.

How to qualify for a solo is the most asked question when it comes to the ice show. The first criteria for a solo skater is that they must have
passed the Pre-Juvenile Freestyle test or higher by January 1, 2012. The solo spots are designated to showcase advanced skaters and give
young skaters something to aspire to. That's why it is based on skill rather than age. Age may be a factor in some situations where there
are more qualified skaters than spots. If you have performed a solo before or not, may also be a factor.

If a solo is something you would like to achieve in your years with Border Blades, be sure to sit down with your coach at the beginning of
every skating a season and establish goals that will get you to that point.

Read below for more details on the ice show:

Five solo spots:
– Solos must have passed Pre-Juvenile Freestyle test or higher by January 1, 2012.
– Border Blades will select how the soloists /duets / trios / quartets will be selected based on highest test levels. The decision the BBFSC Ice Show
Committee makes will be final.
– Soloists must submit their name and biography information to the ice show coordinators in writing by March 1, 2012.
– One of the solo numbers may be used for a Senior Only group number.

Three group numbers:
– The level of groups will be determined by BBFSC.
– Groups must submit group participant names and a team bio to the ice show coordinators in writing by March 1, 2012 to insure their
names in the program.

Synchronized skating groups:
– Each synchronized skating team will be allowed to perform their competition number.
– Teams must submit team participant names and a team bio to the ice show coordinators in writing by March 1, 2012 to insure their
names in the program.

Limited practice ice is available to Border Blades for the ice show. All coaching is the responsibility of the soloists or for BBFSC to
arrange and pay for.

The number of spots available is subject to change by the Grand Forks Park District.
