Dear Steppers:
We are writing to inform you about a great opportunity for your Step Team. The National
Pan-Hellenic Council of Eastern Kentucky University would like to invite you to
participate in the exhibition round of the 2012 Spring Step Show. This event is going to
be held on Saturday March 31st, 2012. To be eligible to perform and compete in the
exhibition round, a team must submit an application by the dead line of January 31st,

The exhibition round will be open to teams not competing for the $1,000 prize. The first
place team in the exhibition round will receive a first place award (plaque or trophy to be
determined). Each group must have a minimum of 3 performers (not including show
technicians).
We have enclosed one registration packet for your team. We ask that you announce this
opportunity in your next meeting or practice, via email, or any other form of
communication that you use among your team. We greatly appreciate your assistance
and support.
For any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at
