Annual Junior Guard Dance

Our annual Junior Guard dance is back on! The dance will be held Friday, August 6th, 2010 at the city gym, 1600 Palm Avenue. The gym is located on the corner of 17th and Palm Avenue in Huntington Beach. The dance will start at 7:00 pm and end promptly at 10:00 pm. The C’s need to be picked up at approximately 9:00 pm; the B’s at 9:30 pm; and the A’s at 10:00 pm. The cost of admission is $5.00. Profit from the dance will go to support the Junior Guard Program’s new storage facility. The $5.00 fee will also allow the junior guards to have shaved ice, a soft drink and entry into our raffle which contains items from Huntington Surf and Sport and other fun prizes.

The annual dance is very popular among the junior guards. We consider the dance a very important fund-raiser and one of the highlights of the program. This event is intended to be fun, and will be very entertaining to see what costumes the junior guards come up with. Please note there will be a dress code that will be strictly enforced. Junior Guards must be dressed in a minimum of shorts and shirts. No scantily clad costumes or Speedos will be permitted.

Only junior guards have the privilege of attending this function. Non-junior guards will not be admitted into the dance.

Our staff would appreciate it if you would please arrive on time to pick up your Junior Guard. If you wish to pick up your Junior Guard early, please make arrangements to meet your child at the door at your agreed time. Instructor security guards will assist in locating your child, if necessary. If you have any questions, contact me at 374-5079.
