The information presented below is our first information release for the RFSC 2024 Ice Show. All items are also available under the menus above. They are bundled here for your convenience.
Costume Distribution
Many Learn2Skate costumes will be available by picture day, but not all. This depends on supplier availability for certain styles and sizes.
We will be distributing costumes by Show Number. The costume committee will be in touch with you regarding costume distribution at the Rec Center. For example, we will be contacting all Future Stars families in one communication, all L2S Tuesday in one communication, etc.
Tights for Learn2Skate costumes will be provided along with your costume.
Stuff everyone needs to know . . .
- Costumes are not custom made to your child's measurements. Be sure to try them on right away. Any alterations of costumes are the skater’s responsibility. BEFORE MAKING ANY ALTERATIONS TO COSTUMES, PLEASE DISCUSS WITH THE COSTUME COMMITTEE.
- Skaters should not play or skate in their costumes before the show.
Questions concerning costumes should be directed to Amanda Mikhail
Email Amanda Mikhail.

All Skaters Participate!
All cast members in Lovestruck participate in Picture Day. This year, Picture Day will be primarily for the show program. Individual pictures of skaters will be featured near the front of the program. The show order pages will list the full cast for each number (read on for details).
We have scheduled additional photoshoot days Monday and Tuesday of show week (Monday, April 15 and Tuesday, April 16) for cast members to take pictures in their costumes after their on-ice rehearsals. Skaters may choose to have additional photos taken, either alone and/or with friends, and these will also be available for personal purchase. A sign up sheet, as well as additional information pertaining to Show Week, will be posted soon.
What to expect at Picture Day on March 3
The layout for photos in the Lovestruck show program will be similar to last year.
- Soloists and featured seniors will have full body pictures and are asked to wear their costume (or skating dress of choice), tights and their skates. Please have your skates cleaned and clear of any scuffs if possible.
- All other skaters will have individual headshots - please wear a dark colored top for best quality headshot photo for the program.
- Please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled picture time. You should have received an email with the Picture Day schedule and specific day-of instructions.
- All Skaters must have plastic skate guards to protect the Rec Center floor . . . and your skates.
Please Note: Due to the number of skaters and photos involved in picture day, we cannot use outside photos in the program for any reason.
Help Us Plan the Day
Please select a time slot for your pictures at Signup Genius. Select a time-slot for each skater (1:00–1:30 is reserved for soloists). Please sign up by Friday, March 1 .

All Skaters
To maintain continuity for the show and to be fair to all skaters we enforce the following policies for rehearsal attendance:
- Attendance is taken at all rehearsals.
- Skaters may not miss more than one rehearsal per number during the show session. This includes rehearsals scheduled on Monday and Tuesday of show week. All skaters must be present for Wednesday and Thursday show week rehearsals.
- While any off-ice sessions scheduled are required for all skaters in those numbers, it does not count toward the one allowed miss.
- Arriving to rehearsal 10 minutes late or leaving rehearsal 10 minutes early counts as half a miss.
- Attendance is required for both father and daughter at the mandatory rehearsal and all show week rehearsals.
Future Stars, Learn2Skate & Explorers
- All L2S rehearsals are 30 minutes in length, with the exception of Explorers rehearsals which are 45 minutes. Check the Cast List and Rehearsal Schedule for your group and time.
Contract Skaters
- Please check the Rehearsal Schedule carefully for your rehearsal times. Note the off-ice rehearsals where indicated.
- If your rehearsal time is not your regularly scheduled contracted ice, you may want to reschedule your freestyle ice. You will be charged for the rehearsal ice if it is in addition to what you have already contracted.
- Skaters will not be billed for show week ice.
- Skaters are charged for solo and feature rehearsal lessons through their coaches.
- Grad feature and freestyle group rehearsal lessons are covered by the show.
Father/Daughter Skaters (Contract skaters only)
- Attendance is required for both father and daughter at the mandatory rehearsal and all show week rehearsals.
- Check the Father Daughter Show Assignments page for your performances.
- See the Father/Daughter Rehearsals & Costumes page for information on costumes and rehearsals.
Show Number Parents
Group numbers have been assigned a volunteer Show Number Parent. If there is any need for the coach, costume committee, etc. to get a message to the group, the show number parent will be contacted and he/she will contact the rest of the group with the information.

- There will NOT be any ticket sales during the Monday or Tuesday Show Week rehearsals.
- Online ticket sales ends Sunday, April 14, 2024. Tickets purchased online will be available for pickup at the ticket tables during the Wednesday and Thursday Show Week rehearsals. If you want tickets to distribute before then, please use one of the other options.
- Each family may purchase up to TWO Ice Show three-Day Passes at a discounted cost of $30 each. This will entitle the owner entry into the show on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This pass cannot be used to admit more than one person per show. These will be available online and at the ticket table during our dress rehearsals on April 17 and 18 only.
- A
Skater’s Pass is included in the packet you receive on Picture Day. This is to be used as admission to the dressing room area, the skaters’ seating area, or general seating.
Please note: Show skaters will not need to purchase a ticket to watch this year’s show. Parents who are bringing their skater and do not want to watch the show will be allowed downstairs without a ticket where they may watch on the TV provided in the skate change area. To watch any part of the show from the bleachers, a ticket must be purchased.
Note: If you do not get your packet at picture day, please pick it up from the RFSC office. - Volunteers working in the arena for each show (specifically lighting help, ushers, prop workers and the booth crew) will have passes to enter the seating area for that show. Other volunteers who wish to watch the show from the seating area will need to purchase tickets (including committee chairs, dressing room monitors and other volunteers).
Free Skate, Dance, Synchro and Grad Feature Skaters
- All
contracted free skate, dance, synchro and grad feature families will receive
12
tickets in the information envelope they pick up on Picture Day. These tickets are $12
General Admission tickets and may be used by children, adults, or senior citizens. You are encouraged to use or sell all of these tickets. If you have more tickets than you need, you may be able to sell to other RFSC families who would like more than 12
General Admission tickets.
- Each family will receive only one packet of 12 General Admission tickets.
- You will be billed $144 for these tickets on your RFSC bill.
- We will host a "ticket exchange" for unused General Admission tickets. The goal is to match those with extra tickets to sell with those looking to purchase additional tickets. See the Ice Show Ticket Exchange Form for details.
- Additional tickets may be purchased from our online store, at the ticket tables during the Wednesday and Thursday rehearsals of Show Week and in the RFSC office. Please note: These are the Adult and Student/Senior tickets listed above, not General Admission tickets. Hunt Drug will also sell tickets.

The Fine Print
In order to be able to do this every year, there are some simple, common sense rules:
- You must order and pay in advance so we can have enough food for everyone.
- You are responsible for your own mess. If you spill, please wipe it up. Do not leave food or wrappers laying in the stands or locker rooms.
- Costumes must be covered.
- Your first responsibility is to be lined up on time for your number. We can’t promise that the line for food will move quickly, so please plan ahead.
- PLEASE use your manners and be polite to our volunteers. We are offering this as a service to you and your parents, and we hope that it makes things easier for you.
If these rules are not followed, we will not be able to offer food for skaters in the future. We are excited to offer this to you and hope we can continue the tradition for future shows.
If you have any questions, please contact Valarie Presa.
