Calisthenics

My 2 girls do this as a hobby.  For those that don't know what it is....it's an artistic sport that incorporates gymnastic/ballet/figure marching/singing/dancing all set to music.  The team the girls compete in does 7 items at each of 6 competitions during the year.  When they came off stage after each item at the concert all the team members were finding it hard to get their breath back.  This year there are 13 in the team, last year there was 10.

My invovlement with the Club is as follows:
Treasurer - hubby doesn't want me to this next year (we'll see)
Costume coordinator for 2 groups
I also do the concert printing - programs, medal sheets, certificates, etc.

Actually hubby has said for the past few years that next year I am not to do anything.  He doesn't realise that as far as the costumes go for the older girls, there is no one else who is involved who can take on the role.  You need someone who can sew and can be available each week to hand out stuff to the girls and/or their sewers.  Thay need to be able to make up samples according to the coaches designs and help them design costumes - this year I designed 2 of them (everyone liked them; one club even had a real close look at one of them, so I expect that design will turn up at that club next  year).
