This weekend there was a change in the ballet girl lineup. Two positions have been eliminated. This would only be noticeable to seasoned fans such as us. I was initially told last month by a BG mom that the change would be this week. The program still lists everyone (10 BGs plus Debbie), but there were two fewer on stage. I know Ruby was one who left, and believe the other was Kendra.

The only time I could really tell the difference was during Solidarity, when the lines of girls and miners weave between each other. One either end of the stage you see some miners with no girls weaving between them.

Ruby's mom, Katie Kerns, posted this farewell on her pubic twitter:

Happy Trails Ruby and Kendra!

Annabelle Kempf is now playing Tracey Atkinson (at least temporarily) per this weekend's program inserts.
