Can I ask how you would go about that? Just say she is not coming and leave it at that?I personally would not send my child to practice over trick or treating. Kids need to be kids.
lol, I grew up in the Northeast so maybe ....Maybe I'm more lax up here in the northeast because we love halloween but I just think some things are an exception.

Out of curiosity when is your first comp/or showcase?Thank you for all the responses, and to the coaches/owners who get it and have already canceled practices. We love our gym and usually understand mandatory means mandatory but this feels wrong to me.

Showcase mid-November. I do understand the pressures and scheduling issues, but the gym has rescheduled one of the teams at other points when there were clinics or other gym events that conflicted so certainly it is possible.Out of curiosity when is your first comp/or showcase?
I know, I agree. Thank you for the great advice.And, when push comes to shove, if enough parents band together and say 'no' the gym will have no choice but to follow suit. Why any gym would be open and/or attempt to force their kiddos to miss out on a once a year holiday over a practice that absolutely could be rescheduled or made-up is beyond me. I get the life, eat, breathe, die for cheer mentality, but there is a line and this isn't one I'd be crossing.
If your practice falls on Halloween, we do not change practice. This will be the second time in 5 years my daughters team practiced on Halloween. We sometimes do a theme dress for Halloween and parents do trunk or treat out of their cars.

Trust me, even my HS senior did not want to go to practice on Halloween!
Not sure about rest of gym, but her team canceled practice for that night.
Does she mind at all or is it just they make it fun to be there? Does everyone seem attend based on what you have experienced?
I haven't asked others on the team what they think/if they are going because I think that might reflect poorly...
This would not be the case for us as our gym is some distance so there would not be time.Practice ends at 6 or 7 for some teams
And the other teams don't practice till 730
This is what I fear our situation would be. Do you really believe this is a reasonable ask of an 8 year old, and as someone else said the little siblings of that child who will be impacted?If you miss, you are off the team.
