Club Description: This newly established fanclub operate based on a bi-monthly meeting schedule, meeting locations are always compromised to the benefit of everyone participating in the meet-ups. We have MANY fun events planned out through the year and they will all be announced in a later time. Yes we do have a club shirt please scroll down to the FAQ section to see the designs. This club is different from others because we have these "branches" that specializes in specific skills. So far we have two branches inside the club one being the choreography branch led by Tomochiyuu and they are currently working on the choreography for "Beginner", preparing for a performance in mid-May. The second branch is the our own small symphony which is still under construction (RECRUITING) and is directed by RTBandGeek4ever, more info please scroll down to the FAQ section of the thread.
