March 2014 Trips and Hotel Reservations

The Enlight Ballroom Team will be competing in two events during the month of March, 2014.  The first trip will be GemState, in Rexburg Idaho, March 21 - 22.  The second will be Nationals, in Provo Utah.  Although definite times our team will be competing are not known yet, the Provo competition runs from Wednesday, March 12 - Saturday, March 15th.

Hotel rooms for the team and coaches have already been reserved for the Rexburg trip and the Provo trip.  ***CORRECTION*** Hotel rooms for the Jr and youth teams and coaches have been reserved***

We have also blocked out rooms for PeeWee and Pre-Teens traveling with their families at both locations.  The hotels are already filling up for these competitions and they have asked us for a solid  number of rooms to set aside for our families who would like to travel to these events.

It feels like March is forever away, but we need to find out how many families will need a hotel room at the Rexburg event and at the Provo event.  The hotels have asked that we give them number by Monday of next week (November 18th).  Here is the information regarding the hotels.
