Director's Packets Please Pick up Your Director's Packet at the Registration Table Once at the Event Panoramaland Dance Championships Director’s packet Website: www.americaonstage.org | e-mail: [email protected] | Phone (801) 224-8334 We're just a few days from the Panoramaland Dance Championships in Richfield! We are excited to show you all the fun and exciting things that are planned. In addition to a great competition, there will be activities for everyone! This year, there are MANY changes. Read ahead and make sure you know everything you need to know about so many changes this year. It’s going to be awesome. Directors! We are so excited to get you and your dancers back on stage. A few notes: Our first priority is to your dancers and to you. Getting you all back on stage. Safely, happily, and with the best experience we can give everyone. With that in mind, we have several things to do to make sure we can get everyone on stage, including spaced out studio blocks, awards done in studio times, spread out schedules, mask requirements when not on stage, and limits on the number of people who can gather inside facilities as well as audience limitations. We appreciate your understanding in all these things. Doing them means we get to dance on stage. And that's the most important thing to us all. Now, let's get ready to rock those stages. COVID - 19 Adjustments We're going to dance! We're going to DANCE!!! We're so excited! After the year of 2020 in which so many things prevented us from dancing, we're going to make it work. And we're going to do all we can to make it safe, awesome, and working for everyone. Here's how: STUDIO BLOCKS To make sure each studio dances in as safe an envoronment as possible, we are going to dance in STUDIO BLOCKS. Studios will come at the time appointed, dance all their teams, individuals, duos/trios and we will awards all dancers before their block ends. Local Clogging teams will dance on Thursday, others on Friday and Dance will compete on Saturday. The final schedule comes out on February 24th. Watch it. You can see the Studio's schedule in this packet. AWARDS All entries will be scored and the results will be posted on the app and posting wall. Dancers will get their awards at the awards table as COVID dictates that we won't be able to have everyone around to have a large Queen ceremony on stage announce on stage (And we are dancing for 3 solid days so when would we do it - Saturday evening for 3 hours...! :-) ). We'll update how we do awards as we get closer. All Team awards will also be posted or announced if time allows. DANCE ADVANCED LEVEL All ADVANCED Queen, King, and Standard Solos/Duos/Trios will be scored and the results will not be posted or announced until all Advanced is complete Saturday evening. We will announce these awards and you can see them in person or online as we will livestream the awards. All dancers will pick up their trophy right after they dance and the tiaras and sashes for 1st place and overall awards will be picked up at the end of Saturday. When Advanced is complete, we will post all the advanced awards online as well as announce it online too!. All Advanced teams will also be posted and announced when advanced is completed. We'll ask to have someone come back Saturday night to pick up awards for the studio's advanced awards, or you can come back. (see below)! More info as we get closer too. Clogging Professional level All PRO entries will be scored and the results will not be posted or announced until all Pro is complete Saturday evening. We will announce these awards and you can see them in person or online as we will livestream the awards. When Pro is complete, we will post all the Pro awards online as well as announce it online too!. All Pro teams will also be posted and announced when Pro is completed. We'll ask to have someone come back Friday night to pick up awards for the studio's Pro awards, or you can come back. (see below)! More info as we get closer too. OVERALL AWARDS Once the competition is over and the dance off is complete, we ask a person from each studio (Director, etc) to come back and pick up any Overall awards! We will announce all the Overall awards on our facebook page as a live broadcast. You and your dancers can watch it online and the person who comes will pick up any awards you receive. This person will also pick up the advanced awards for solos/duos/trios. AUDIENCE Each facility dictates if we are allowed audience and how many. We will keep you updated and the latest allowances. With all the studio blocks, we are going to do some exciting things to make each event special. You'll see when you come! As of now, Idaho’s helath dept is going to allow ONE parent per dancer in to watch until we hit a limit of the amount of spectacors who can enter. Again, we will update you on this as we get closer if it changes. MASKS As required by each state and the facility, we will follow all guidelines. As planned now, all dancers, directors, teachers, and audience must wear masks at all times unless dancing on the stage. Once dancers enter stage, they can dance without their masks. Masks will be required once off stage. We will update this as we get closer as each facility dictates. END OF DAY PICK UP Score Sheets can be picked up as soon as your block is done. Dancers should pick up their medals and pins as well when completed. At the conclusion of the event, we will ask a person (director) to return and pick up any overal wards. SCHEDULE Take a look at the schedule in this packet. It's broken up so that each studio has a block of time for ALL of their entries. This ensures that we can dance without having too many people in a large group gathering. For Dance Studios: You can set the order you want. We suggest dancing all the lower level solos/duos/trios and then all your teams. This allows them all to change. However, you can also dance all your lower levels and hvae them leave and then proceed into your advanced level. We'll let you pick your order. When each Solo/Duo/Trio is done, they can get their awar d at the awards table immediately! No time to wait.There is no large awards ceremony this year due to COVID's restrictions. All team awards will be picked up by the director. Then you can go and enjoy your day. It's actually a compact way of doing events. Then of course, we will watch the awards livestream at the end to see who wins our overall awards! For Clogging Studios: We will dance all individuals in the lower levels then all the teams the all individuals in the upper levels. We appreciate that everyone works so hard to make these scheduled times work. It would be great if everyone could dance at the exact time it works best in their schedule. But we simply do our best. If you can make it work, we appreciate it! The domino effect it causes moving things around is very difficult. If you have problems, Email us at [email protected]. FRIDAY, SATURDAY With all the facility changes and concerns, we are going to need to use TWO FULL days! We will space studios out with the needed new time for social distancing. Take alook at the enclosed scheduleto see when you are scheduled. Registration Closed! We are as very full of registration and SO excited. It is closed to any more studios registering online. If you need any changes or additions, please Email us at [email protected] and we'll get it all entered. But we need to know right away. An already registered studio can add entries, but we need to know immediately so we can plan for it. Studio Order As we get closer, we will send you your registration and let you decide the order you want your teams, solos, duos and trips to dance. We will send you a suggested order, and we ask you to reply to us with the order you want. We will get it in the program and post it online for all to see. Any additional information, changes, and requirements, we will E-mail out. Contact us with any questions. See you soon. Let's dance!

  • Ep #375: Do Hard Things Full Episode Transcript Brooke Castillo
    Ep #375: Do Hard Things Full Episode Transcript With Your Host Brooke Castillo The Life Coach School Podcast with Brooke Castillo Ep #375: Do Hard Things You are listening to The Life Coach School Podcast with Brooke Castillo, episode number 375. Welcome to The Life Coach School Podcast, where it’s all about real clients, real problems and real coaching. And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brooke Castillo. Hello, my friends. Okay, I might have a little rant. I might have a little talking-to today. You telling me that things are hard doesn’t mean anything. What does it mean that things are hard? It’s an irrelevant thing to say. People say things are hard to me as if that’s a reason not to do them. That is the reason to do them. Hard things are what make us stronger. We can’t get stronger if we don’t do hard things. So, if you come to me and you say, “But it’s so hard...” I don’t know what you mean. It’s like when people say to me, “But it’s so expensive.” Of course, it’s expensive. Of course, I charge a lot for what I do. It’s so valuable. Of course, it’s hard. It’s going to make you into who you want to be. You can’t become who you want to be on easy street. You can’t make things easy and then expect yourself to grow from doing easy things. You don’t want people to go, “Oh, she always takes the easy road.” When you hear someone talk about someone else like that, it’s not impressive, my friends.

Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • The Nature of Mid-Life Introspection with the Goal of Understanding the Fullness, Or Essence, of the Experience
    Copyright 2014, Lee DeRemer Abstract I explore the nature of mid-life introspection with the goal of understanding the fullness, or essence, of the experience. I use research from interviews with nine people who have had deeply personal, highly intentional mid-life introspection experiences. In these interviews I seek to appreciate the motivation of the individuals, the dynamics of the experience, the role of others, lessons learned, and the impact on interviewees’ approach to questions of meaning and purpose. I also interview the spouses of six of the participants to obtain additional perspective on each introspection experience. I employ a transcendental phenomenological methodology to discover whether any aspects of the mid-life introspection experience are common, regardless of differences in world view, background, gender, occupation, education level, or socioeconomic status. By learning the stories of each of these mid-life introspection experiences, I discover the nature of mid-life introspection and develop the following definition of mid-life introspection: a deeply personal quest for a fresh understanding of one’s identity, purpose, values, goals, and life direction, influenced but not necessarily constrained by one’s life history and present circumstances. This research will enable the reader to conclude, “I understand the nature of mid-life introspection and what to expect from a mid-life introspection experience.” The research also reveals a framework that depicts the mid-life introspection experience graphically and a collection of questions that can guide one’s own mid-life introspection. iii Dedication This paper is dedicated to three people. I am who I am because of them, and I am forever grateful.

  • Holiness: Why Is It So Hard?
    HOLINESS: WHY IS IT SO HARD? The movie, A League of Their Own, presents a Hollywood version of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during WWII. In one dramatic scene Dottie Hinson, the best player (portrayed by Geena Davis) is torn between playing in their first World Series and returning home to Oregon with her wounded veteran husband. Her priority was family and she recognized that baseball is “only a game.” When challenged by her manager Jimmy Dugan (played by Tom Hanks) she lamented, “It just got too hard.” Dugan retorted: “It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard everyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes it great.” The “hard” in baseball comes from the unique skill it takes to hit major league pitching or to pitch successfully at the major league level. My friend Walt was a terrific third baseman who played triple-A ball in the Boston Red Sox system. During one spring training, he was brought up to the big team and went into the batter’s box to hit under the watchful eye of his idol, Ted Williams. Afterwards, he approached Ted and asked, “What do you think Mr. Williams?” Ted shook his head and replied, “Slow bat, kid, slow bat.” Walt realized that his dream of playing major league baseball was over. As good as he played the game, Walt simply lacked the extraordinary hand-eye coordination needed to hit major league pitching. So, is the “hard” of holiness similar in that it is the discovery that very few of us are spiritual prodigies like the canonized saints? The answer is a resounding, “NO!” In the first place, there are no spiritual prodigies who have the innate exceptional skills they can develop into major league holiness.

  • Exploring the Dual Language Program Implementation And
    A TALE OF TWO CITIES: EXPLORING THE DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND BILITERACY TRAJECTORIES AT TWO SCHOOLS Alexandra Babino Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2015 APPROVED: Carol Wickstrom, Major Professor Sadaf Munshi, Committee Member Ricardo González-Carriedo, Committee Member Endia Lindo, Committee Member Jim Laney, Chair of the Department of Teacher Education and Administration Jerry Thomas, Dean of the College of Education Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Babino, Alexandra. A Tale of Two Cities: Exploring the Dual Language Program Implementation and Biliteracy Trajectories at Two Schools. Doctor of Philosophy (Language and Literacy Studies), August 2015, 229 pp., 38 tables, 21 figures, 245 numbered references. With the increase in emergent bilinguals and higher standards for all, the challenge for educational stakeholders is to fully utilize dual language programs as a prominent means toward meeting and surpassing rigorous state and national standards. Part of maximizing dual language programs’ impact, and the purpose of this study, was to provide detailed analyses of program models and student biliteracy development. Thus, the research questions sought to explore the level of understanding and implementation of dual language programs in general and the biliteracy component in particular at each campus, before documenting the second through fifth grade English and Spanish reading biliteracy trajectories of students at each school. Both campuses experienced more challenges in the implementation of the program structure, staff quality, and professional development rather than in curriculum and instruction. Furthermore, although both campuses’ students experienced positive trajectories towards biliteracy by the end of fifth grade, each campus was characterized by different rates and correlation between English and Spanish reading growth in each grade.
