RE: Hoobiyee 2024
Hoobiyee is quickly approaching, and we are working to ensure everything is organized!
Information sheets and waivers for registered singers and dancers will be brought to dance practices in the upcoming week. For registered citizens in other areas, these will be sent to you via email. Please read, sign, and return the waiver to cory.j.h@huuayaht.org as soon as possible. Please remember that a waiver must be signed to attend.
We are in the process of finalizing travel arrangements for performers coming from the island. This information will be communicated early next week.
There will be a full dress rehearsal on Friday, March 1, 2024, at the Vancouver Friendship Centre from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm prior to the Hoobiyee performance that will happen at 4:45 P.M. Please bring your shawls and drums and wear light-coloured shirts and black bottoms (pants, shorts, leggings or shirts). Please refrain from wearing low-cut shirts and short skirts/dresses.
Hoobiyee will be live-streamed for anyone interested in watching remotely. A link will be provided before the event.
Per previous communications, singers or dancers must be 14+ and accompanied by an adult performing. We look forward to future events where we can include all children and youth.
Please contact Cory Howard Sr at cory.j.h@huuayaht.org or call 1-250-728-3414 and ask for Mel or Cory.
