Important Note Regarding Next Thursday, Aug. 20th

We hope your summer is wrapping up on a great note. Can't believe its school time again! Our competition practice for next Thursday, Aug. 20th has been canceled. When setting this date we were not aware of back to school night at the Columbia Public Schools or that the private schools were already back in session. We think its important to focus your time this week on getting back to school. We hope this makes all your lives a little less hectic.

Our next Competition practice will still be Thursday, Aug. 27th. This schedule will be sent out this Monday.

Since we will be missing practice this week we will be using Sept. 26th (one of the extra practice days given) for competition classes. Please mark this on your calendar. A schedule will be given when the date gets closer.

Please email AFAcompteam@yahoo.com if you have not already made us aware of any major conflicts you have for this year.

Enjoy the last few days of summer!!!
