We invite all GEFSC club members and all GEFSC Learn to Skate participants to be part of the 2025 Christmas Show! Skaters of all levels and from age 3 through adults are encouraged to participate. Our annual Christmas Show is a great opportunity to showcase all your hard work this year, make new friends, have fun, and spread some Christmas cheer!
Please review the details below regarding practice and show schedules, group selections, t-shirts, and additional skating number opportunities. Please talk to Grace Myer with any questions, or email learntoskate@gefsc.com.
Primary Numbers:
This is your main show program and will be a solo, duet/trio, or group number with skaters around your same level. The cost to participate in a primary number includes your participation in that number, your primary number costume, and your overall show participation. All skaters under age 18 must sign up for a primary number in order to participate in the show (i. e. you can't sign up for only specialty numbers). Adults can use the Adult Specialty Number or Family Number as their primary number. Registration for primary numbers has closed.
Skater eligibility: All skaters can sign up for a primary number! There is no level requirement to participate, but skaters will be assigned a group, duet/trio, or solo by the director & coaches based on their level and the needs of the show overall.
Notes on group selection: Soloists must be passed Bronze/Juv Singles Test and be able to perform 2 double jumps. High school seniors able to perform an axel jump will also be offered a solo. Skaters who are able to perform an axel jump may be offered a duet or trio. Skaters who don't yet meet these requirements will be put into group numbers with other skaters of a similar level.
Practice Schedule: Saturdays for 30 minutes between 11:15 AM and 12:45 PM, from 10/18 through 11/29. All show skaters will also attend the rehearsals & show night as detailed in Schedule section below.
Costumes: Provided (included in your registration cost). Skaters will need to provide skating tights.
Opening Number:
Help us open the show! We'd love for all of our skaters who have passed Preliminary Skating Skills/MIF test to participate in our Opening Number! Opening number practices will immediately follow Primary Number practices from 12:15-12:45 PM on Saturdays on 10/25, 11/8, 11/15, and 11/29. Costumes will be provided (included in your registration cost). Registration for the opening number has closed.
Specialty Group Numbers:
We are excited to offer Specialty Group Numbers again this year in addition to Primary Numbers! Skaters under age 18 must sign up for a Primary Number as well in order to be eligible to participate in Specialty Group Numbers. Adults can use the Adult Specialty Number or Family Number as their primary number. Registration for specialty group numbers has closed.

This is an optional number that you would sign up for in addition to your primary number. The Learn to Skate Specialty Number will be a big group number that is open to skaters of any level who have taken a Learn to Skate class in 2025. Your primary number is your main group number in the show, where skaters will be split into smaller groups by level.

This can be one skater with one adult, two skaters with one adult, two adults with one skater, and so on. The $55 registration fee for this number covers one skater plus one adult.

We had so much fun with the adult number in last year's show, and can't wait to do it again this year! For skaters who don't currently live in Evansville, but could make it to some practices, dress rehearsal, and show night, please contact Grace about the possibility of participating with a "sub" for the practices you would miss.
If the Adult Specialty Number will be your primary number skating in the show, the cost is $100 - This covers your overall show participation. If you are signing up for a primary number and skating in the Adult number, you will pay the $55 specialty number cost, since your overall participation is covered by the primary number.
*Talk with Grace or your coach if you'd like help understanding the options and what is right for your skater!
