I am a little nervous as I am the lowest level skater! Lol. It will be fun since I will be skating with a fun group. Still nervous tho! Ha!

I've been in your situation. Lowest level skater in a group number.

It was a zombie number.

Even though I volunteered to be a space filler zombie since I didn't have a 'show piece', I ended up in a character role.

I was Death--the hockey stick/ scythe carrying short cute version of Death. Had a lot of fun and the camera man always tactfully never included me in the video so I have no bad memories.

I think one year our group number had two skaters who *just* started skating, like alpha-ish. They had a blast and stuck with the sport, progressing marvelously.
Enjoy  :love:

Sounds fun!

I did this for the Christmas show last year. It was fun!  There were lots of adult skaters (40% of the total). We were not alone and had a terrific time.

The change room stuff was a blast too, though a tad noisy at times. Putting my hair into a bun for the first time in many many years was hilarious. I knew how because I sometimes do my daughters' hair, but on myself was too funny.

My kids & husband were incredibly proud (relieved) that I didn't fall. The more competent skaters were trying tricky stuff and did fall. It showed the wisdom of performing what you do best, not the flash stuff that may not work.
