KAMAYAN- 17 days away!!!
Folks, I think it's appropriate to say we are in crunch time. The time is ticking and we have a long way to go. Dance practices have gone smooth to date but we are a LONG way to go to what we want to accomplish and to how we want to perform come that Sunday in 2.5 weeks. Dance attendance is MANDATORY from now on as we are putting together the final program and choreographers are finalizing formations. By this weekend we want to be able to run through the whole program with clapping (for dances that need them). IF by any chance you must miss practice, please call or shoot an email to the choreographer AND to one of your DCs BEFORE the assigned practice time. The DCs and choreographers do not want to be looking for you during practice. Kamayan is FSAs first chance to showcase what we have to the rest of the Filipino community in the greater Boston area. It is an opportunity to dance with some of your close friends or even friends you just met this semester. Without the complete cooperation from you guys, there is no way FSA gains the reputation it already has. People come near and far to see FSA perform. They know of our club by the amazing dances we showcase. For those who have performed in Kamayan before, make this performance better than the last. For those in which this is your first Kamayan, this is your first chance to rip the stage as a member of FSA. We all here in FSA have welcomed you with open arms and know you will kill it with us. Make memories this Kamayan as once again we'll show all the other schools in D1 what we got. Again, without the practice we won't get to the point where we want to be. PLEASE make it out to practices and ON TIME!!
ENCLOSED is this week's dance schedule as well as the list of CLAPPERS for each dance. It is the clapper's duty to go to the assigned practice and clap the tinikling sticks as the dancers dance through them. Your DC's have specially assigned you to these dances so PLEASE, it is essential you go to these practices this week. Questions, email your DC's (Ausanto@bu.edu) or (r1vera26@bu.edu).
REMINDER: STICK DUTY; PLEASE ARRIVE AT SAO GYM 30 MINS PRIOR TO THE FIRST PRACTICE OF THE DAY. If you are unsure of what you are supposed to do or get lost, call (610)-416-2713. As stick duty you are responsible for getting the sticks to Rich Hall by practices. This is an essential aspect in practice because most dances need them. Without sticks, we cannot finish the dances and the clappers cannot practice clapping.

Dancer Dues- As a performer in Kamayan, it is required that each dancer pay $10 towards your performance. DCs will be collecting money at each practice.
Come November 22nd, those 700 people out there in the audience will be waiting anxiously to see FSA. Trust me, we will get the loudest applause.
