Hi all

 

I'm really sorry I meant to send this all out last week but got waylaid with work, please accept my apology.

 

Attached is the notation and timings for Piccadilly, if there is something you think is wrong or we need to change please let me know. There is also a couple of points on things I think we need to work on which I will update as time passes and suggestions are made.

 

We have lots of committed, good dancers in the team and therefore picking 5 for the DERT set has not been an easy decision however I have chosen who I think are the strongest steppers with the best sword handling and style.  

 

I would like the main DERT set to be: Ffion, Laura W, Becky, Laura S, Katherine

Westerhope set: Laura S, Jo, Hannah, Kate, Rachel

 

Reserve Piccadilly set is Rachel/Jo Becky Hannah Jo Kate, this should leave us with someone to fill in at each position. Also, if the people in the reserve set come to the day practice 14th Feb and at least one of the crawls before DERT then I would really like them to dance in the spotlight at DERT. With this in mind my general day practice plans are:

 

14th Feb will be practicing with the different reserves, confidently getting through the dance and generally neatening it up.
21st Feb will focus more on the main set and precision. 

We have a great opportunity over the next few weeks to do some really solid practice on Piccadilly and develop the Ravens style, for DERT but also for our day of dance and everything else we are hoping to perform at this year!

See you soon
