Join the 2013-14 SF Bulls Cow Belles

The San Francisco Bulls Professional Hockey Team, proud affiliate of the San Jose Sharks, are looking for energetic ice skaters and dancers to help excite the crowd for the 2013-14 season. SF Bulls Cow Belle (ice girl) tryouts are taking place at the Cow Palace on Saturday, October 5, beginning at 8:30 am. Both the Cow Belle Dance Team and The Ice Crew (skater) auditions will go from 8:30-noon. You may choose to audition for both positions, but can only be selected to one. The Bulls are searching for six skaters and six dancers for the upcoming season.

The Bulls are seeking energetic women that can ice skate or dance proficiently and are not shy in front of large crowds. The SF Bulls Cow Belles are a key component to the in-game entertainment at the Cow Palace during stoppages of play and in between periods. They also help to shovel the ice during TV timeouts, while ice skating. In addition, they will take to the stands to assist the in-game promotions. New to this year, the Arena Crew may be asked to perform dance routines. The Cow Belles also serve as representatives of the organization at community events throughout the year.

Tryouts for the SF Bulls Cow Belles will consist of interviews with the judges, on-ice skills (for the Ice Crew) and a dance performance (for the Arena Crew). Hopeful Ice Crew members are asked to bring their own skates to the audition.

To sign-up for the Cow Belle auditions, please fill out the following form. Upon completion, you will receive an e-mail shortly after with further information regarding the tryout.

Charlotte Checkmates

Part two of my Carolina road trip involved a return Time Warner Cable Arena for the Charlotte Checkers Pink the Rink night. (As you can see the Checkmates were decked out in pink.) It was part of an effort to raise money and awareness in the fight against Breast Cancer.

Sheena Geiger: Dancing Her Way to Japan

From DavidsonNews.net

At Davidson Day, she is known as “Madame Geiger” and is one of two French teachers for the school.In two weeks, though, Sheena Geiger of Davidson will set aside her classroom work to fly to Japan and join a team of performers marking the 40th anniversary of the Osaka World Expo.

She will be part of a group organized by World Campus International, a Tokyo-based nonprofit that encourages intercultural exchanges.

“Learning about other cultures, that’s my passion,” Sheena said. “I love learning languages and meeting people from around the world and traveling.”

Raised in Nova Scotia, Sheena said she grew up speaking Gaelic and step-dancing in the Scottish style. Her booth at the 40th Anniversary World Expo event will offer information about Canada. She will be able to both sing and dance at the closing ceremonies.

Performing in front of large crowds is nothing new to Sheena. Before coming to Davidson Day, she represented Canada in the professional performing group, Up With People, and spent last summer in Denver helping them choreograph their current world tour show. Now that she is based in Davidson, Sheena continues her interest in dance as a CheckMate, a cheerleader for the Charlotte Checkers.

Sheena Geiger is also a cheerleader for the Charlotte Checkers. Here’s a photo of her singing the Canadian National Anthem at a recent Checkers game.

The Osaka events will take place from March 10-16, and the trip will cost $2,500. Sheena is seeking sponsorships, and hopes to offer presentations about Japan when she returns. You can contact her by email (sgeiger@davidsonday.org).

Besides the thrill of the performances, which will have to be pulled together quickly according to a rigorous schedule, the World Campus International group will be offered opportunities to learn more about their host country.

“They’ll be matching us with families and giving us language lessons,” she said. “I’m so excited!”
