One of our junior Michael Jacksons, Malcolm, is featured, and another, Nikki, is quoted in today's San Diego Union Tribune regarding the This Is It movie:

Verdict: we really liked it, and SPOILER ALERT I think you will all love the Thriller section.

BEST ZOMBIE SPIRIT
It was a no-brainer decision to award the trophy for BEST ZOMBIE SPIRIT to the folks most of us called "that adorable family" - Jacob, Malcolm, and Joylyn brought incredible energy and enthusiasm and did it as a family and we just all wanted to hug them and EAT THEIR ADORABLE BRAINS!
Congratulations you guys, you made every rehearsal brighter!

So imagine !
Please, if you don't donate anything to OUR charity, consider dropping Ines a little money for her awesomeness, expenses, and trouble.

What to expect at registration
A few tips for the big day!
On the day, we will be checking everyone in - zombies will need to have a photo ID, a registration form, and sign a sign-in sheet. Dancers of all ages will need an ID and a signed registration form.
Dancers under 18 years old will also need an ID, and a registration form signed by a consenting adult.
To speed the registration process up, and to have your name pre-printed on the sign-in sheet, we need your registration form by 4pm on Friday, 10/23. You can still bring it on the day, but please let us know at least your full name by Friday at 4pm, so we can have you on the list.
Ways to get us that form before Friday 10/23 at 4pm:
By 5pm on Saturday, everyone needs to be completely checked in so we can spend that last bit of time preparing for Thrill Time. If you get there by 4pm, you should have plenty of time to get registered, get a piece of pizza, and touch up your zombie look.
Did I say pizza? YES. Thank you for Papa Johns for donating pizza on the day!!!! You will get a ticket when you register so no non-zombies eat your well-deserved pizza.
Please bring your own water/beverage!
THANK YOU- this will be a tremendous help!

Tightening Dance Moves
Hey guys! You are all doing so well! Saturday's combined rehearsal was really exciting!
Below are just some dance pointers to clean up the dance before the big day. Keep practicing; this is going to be awesome!
1) Throughout the dance, be aware of your surroundings, and take smaller steps forward/backwards, particularly the "Swim Together", "Wuzz Up", and "Stomp(s)". We will have to work in the space provided.... of course, you can use those moves to adjust your spacing, too!
2) After "grab, pull in, punch punch punch down" section, people are getting up early instead of "hold, hold". You should wait two counts before "right left".
Also in that section, it is easier to keep the head down until "right left"; then bring it up and look forward.
3) During ALL stomp parts, we need to keep our heads down regardless of how low they can get. It looks great when we're all in sync!
4) After "Star down", we want to make sure we rise at the same time!
5) Wuzz Up section--arms are meant to be "disconnected" at the shoulders as dancers travel instead of held in place--much like "shake-a-and-a-uppa" part disconnect earlier. Don't be afraid to be loose with them!
6) Remember we do the "Hip and Roar" section twice which seems to come as a surprise to many when the chorus is reprised near the end after our last "star down hold 2-3-4 rise"
7) While styling is fun to watch--reminder to all we have to follow the choreography to be counted as part of the record. Add stuff at the encore performance :-) It looks amazing when our heads, hands, and feet are together!
8) We've said it often, but no smiling as zombies! Work on your character; it really stands out during moves like "Zombie march", "Wuzz Up", and "Pose"! Also No Talking (that's a given)!
9) Big hint for dance shoes at Thrill time at the Bay--regular sneakers on the sand we sprinkle on the concrete is hands down your optimum dance option if it works with the costume.
10) REMINDER: Call time is 3:30pm..... We will rehearse a couple of times, work on spacing, finish any admin work, touch up our hair/make-up, and DANCE promptly at 5:30pm!!!
