Congrats to all the team members who competed at Illinois this weekend! (feat. a divine ray of light?!)
Hi team,
Hope you’re all enjoying a well-earned break, and have recovered from Illinois if you competed there yesterday. Here’s this week’s announcements:
- Corn maze trip: It’s not too late to sign up for the corn maze, fill out the form here by 11.59pm on Wednesday and we’ll do our best to find you a ride. If you’ve already signed up, pay $7 to the team by Wednesday to cover the cost of your entry to the maze (Venmo to @UMBDT preferred, other payment methods accepted). On Friday, meet at 4.30pm where the Cube used to be (RIP the Cube) to ride to the maze!
Join this squad with your very own ballroom track jacket!
- Apparel: This is the last week to order apparel, which is available for purchase on our website until Sunday October 21st. Check out this semester’s offerings here and email our PR Chair, Tara Holz, at taralyho@umich.edu with any questions. If you’re interested in being part of a ballroom tie–dye event (date TBA once apparel is distributed), buy one of our white Michigan Ballroom V-Necks or tanks!
- Purdue payment deadline: If you’ve signed up for Purdue, remember to pay your $50 entry fee to the team by Wednesday October 24th! Don’t be a jerk and make Clara hunt you down!
A fantastic moment from last year’s pro show at the Ohio Star Ball, perfectly captured by our team photography expert Lizzy Xiong!
- Get hype for Nationals! OSB is approaching quickly, keep an eye out for an email from Fabi for more details about the best weekend of the year…
