CTC EXHIBITION TEAM
• TERM 15 •
Master Knarr and Mrs. Cherry will lead a new session of the CTC Exhibition Team for the summer/fall of 2026.
This special activity allows students to express their skills in a way like no other, by collaborating with their peers and coaches to create a thematic martial arts presentation set to music, while at the same time enjoying camaraderie with the group.
Through the audition process, we’re not only looking for candidates with skill sets that fit with the intended presentation, but we also consider each person's attention to detail, and the ability to focus on the hard work required to get a lot done in a relatively short timeframe. We look for people with energy, enthusiasm, maturity, commitment, and especially the ability to work well with others, who want to push the boundaries as to what we can accomplish. The commitment we ask for is to attend weekly practices and participate in the special event that ends the term.
Qualification Requirements are as follows:
1) Students must be a green belt or above. Typically the age range is 11-21 years old. If you are younger or
older and auditioning for the first time, please speak with one of the coaches before you submit your application.
2) Submit an Application by Wednesday, June. 10. Use the link above to apply.
3) Attend the Audition-Workshop on Friday, June 12 at 6pm. Everyone who wants to participate on the team must audition. If you absolutely can’t make this date, please contact us in advance via ctcexhibitionteam@gmail.com to arrange an alternate time.
4) Team members must be able to attend all practices and dress rehearsals. The proposed practice dates and times are outlined in advance on the application form. If you have any conflicts with these dates/times, please let us know on the form. Practices are typically two hours long, and we will be working the entire time.
The Main Event for this term will be a performance at the CTC School Picnic on Saturday, September 12, 2026.
We will have a dress-rehearsal/parent preview the evening before, on Friday, September 11.
Both of these dates are non-negotiable for attendance.
The Audition-Workshop will be held on Friday, June 12 at 6 p.m. It will end at approximately 7:45 p.m. During this session, students may be asked to perform the following:
• Fight/Defense sequences, which you will have the opportunity to create with a partner or small group
• Board Break of your choice (1-2 boards), showing your most advanced technique(s)
• Form(s), which you will already know, and should be able to demonstrate with the group.
HINT: Please brush up on your Dae Mahn Gi forms beforehand.
• Forms (may be open-hand or with weapons) set to music, that we teach you during the session
• (Optional) Short demonstration of any special skills you can do (such as gymnastics, dance, or special weapons work)
Practice Sessions are typically two hours long, and will be held on a weekday during the summer, then switching to Friday evenings after school starts. We will kick off the term with an extended practice session. Light snacks will be provided for any sessions that go past two hours. Practices are mandatory unless the student is ill or has a pre-planned obligation that you have informed us about in advance. Anyone who misses frequently may have their parts altered or omitted from the routine.
The Participation Fee is $45 per month for (3) installments, which will be automatically billed monthly, starting the first month of practice. There may also be an equipment fee if we need to purchase weapons or extra items for the group.
The Team Uniform is a white crossover dobok top with red trim, and black dobok pants. You must purchase your own uniform if you do not already have one; however, loaners or rentals of certain items might be available, depending on size. In some instances, we may provide an alternative "costume" or ask the student to provide their own streetwear.
Team members will be informed of acceptance via email by June 14 at the latest.
