Well, the coach pulled her off the team because I was not willing to change our trip and get her back that many days prior to competition. They have been practicing for four months and I didn't agree that coming back that early was absolutely necessary. Plus she is a competitive dancer and picks up and changes without much problem. My wife and I are going with our kids, my sister and her family, my brother and his family and my father. Its a pretty big trip for us and the first trip back since my mom died almost two years ago. Disney was where they took us for their 50th anniversary, so this is a sentimental trip too. Mom loved enjoying the nine grandkids at Disney!
And that weather that was predicted for today that prompted the schedule change. went from possibly 8 inches of snow to possibly a dusting. Anyone that has lived in OK more than 20 minutes knows not to make plans or change plans a week in advance.
And its a team made up of the "best" from the high school pom squad, but the competition is not a school competition. She is one of the few freshmen to ever make the team and has put a lot of effort into the practice, so my heart breaks for her. The coaches decision has really disappointed me. I was willing to pay $770 for her to fly home for competition and back to WDW the same day and make it work for both events. Unfortunately, coach has no allegiance to the girls and my daughter and her friends see that now.
Thanks for all the help and support.
