Good Luck!

Good luck to our All State Reps tomorrow! Show em' what you got- you girls are amazing!

This Upcoming Week

This upcoming week:

We will be practicing Monday morning at 7am (officers at 6am). We will go until 9:30. (Officers will stay after). Where your usual Monday attire.

I'm not sure if there is a pep assembly- I will let you know as soon as I get word.

We will be doing the kickathon at the next football halftime. The game is this Friday at 5pm again. Please begin getting your pledges/spreading the word. We will get the info and paperwork to you on Tuesday.
*This is more a filler than a fundraiser, but please still try your best to get committed pledges!

Saturday practice 6am-10:30am. (Wahoo right?! Oh yaaah...)

Have a fabulous rest of your weekend. Relax and remember those things we need you to be working on. We have been working so hard- I promise all the time and effort will pay off! I know you girls are wonderful and I have complete faith that we can reach all our goals for this year! You have improved tremendously and are a very talented bunch! Love ya and keep up the great work!

School Tommorrow

Wear blue, black, grey/silver or white tomorrow, (class colors) to school. :P

Game and Sat Practice

For the game, you will meet outside/inside the dance studio at 4:15 since the game starts at 5. Come with your hair and makeup on, (zombiefied!) Depending on how cold it is, I may let you wear your warmups and warm clothing during the game, then just change into zombie clothing before halftime. Come in full costume and we will go from there.


Veronica will be posting what you should wear to school tomorrow.

Saturday, our practice is being held from 6am-10:30am. Bring a lot of water, snacks, etc... as I will give you breaks throughout practice. Come prepared to get a lot done! (Veronica should also be posting what to wear to practice Saturday.)

Great job today ladies, you did wonderful! :)

Tomorrow's Assembly

Tomorrow is Thriller! I am so excited to do this- you girls definitely deserve a super FUN performance like this!

Tomorrow, we still have early morning, but I am excusing you from ALL of 1st period. Kelly Clark is excusing her cheer leaders at 8:15, but since we have early morning, I think its a little pointless to release you at 7:35 for you to get ready for 20 minutes, just to stay in your class for 15 minutes and then having to get ready for the assembly. SO, you will be excused from 1st period and we will practice until 8 am. I will then release you to get ready for Thriller.

Make sure you bring all of your Thriller stuff tomorrow! (Makeup, etc...) I will be there to help you with your makeup if needed!

Thanks fabulous girls and I'll see you tomorrow!
*Don't come in Thriller gear- come in practice gear!

Thriller!!

Okay, so here is what you need to have for thriller!

• Black Jazz Pants
• Long Sleeve black shirt
• Black gloves
• "Tattered" dirty looking clothes, browns, blacks, and greys are best. (You can use brown, black, or grey spray paint to make them look dirty)
• White and Black eye shadow
• Black Lipstick (If you don't have any I've used black eyeliner before.. so you could just do that.)
• A REALLY good comb to tease your hair.

Don't worry about looking stupid, the more all out you go, the better it will look. :)
Plus, like Kamie said, its "Zombie" Day at school Thursday!

Miss Drill Utah Clinic Information

Wanted to pass on an email that I recieved:

Hello Coaches,
If you have any dancers that are interested in doing the Miss Drill Utah Pageant, there is a workshop that will be held on November 1st immediately following the ALL-STATE audition. The cost is $10.00, parents are encouraged to come with them. We will go over all of the details about modeling, interview/onstage question, solo, humanitarian project, and much more. If you have dancers that are not an All-State representative then just tell them to come after the audition ( not sure what time that would be, maybe you can keep them posted as the night goes on). Remember that there is a TEEN category for those that are not 16 years old by the pageant date, so please send them also. The actual Miss Drill Utah Pageant is FEB. 9th(Thursday late afternoon and evening) at Juan Diego Catholic HS. Mark your calendars!!! It's an event you won't want to miss!! 


All-state auditions are Nov 1st starting at 3:00 pm at Juab High School. You can find out more information about the Miss Drill Competition at http://www.uddsc.com

Please let me know if you are interested in doing Miss Drill and planning on attending the clinic - it is a great opportunity for all of our dancers!

Hazen Picture Takes Date

The Hazen picture take day has been changed from Oct 21st to

Oct 28th @ 3pm at the school.

Please mark your calendars accordingly.

Tomorrow's Game and Assembly

Tomorrow we will have practice at 6:30am to go over formations/alternates for camp dance.

You girls did a great job in practice today! I'm excited for military tomorrow- it will be a fabulous day!

The assembly is PM, starting around 1:35. Dancers will be released at 12:50. Don't leave early!

We are doing camp dance for the football game and parents will be selling hot chocolate, donuts, waterbottles, etc.. again.

All girls need to be completely ready and at the school at 6:15pm. Please meet outside of the dance studio to warm up. Reps will save our seats (i'd make signs :)

YAY!

Tonight/Hazens

Remember tonight is our Hazen's Meeting. It will be held at 6pm at the high school in the classroom directly next to the small gym. Each dancer must have someone be there, (it can be a parent or girl.)

Each girl is required to bring $30 tonight. Here is some clarification on what that is for.

Hazen's makes a requirement of each girl to pay a total of $45 to be in and get a copy of the team photo. The $30 you are paying tonight is a "deposit" that covers the sit fee and team photo. On the day of the photo shoot, you will only need to bring an extra $15.

Hopefully that clears things up just a bit. Any other questions can be directed and asked to the Hazen's representative.

Thank you!

Resources

I made changes to our tabs above to allow more space for important information. Note the following changes so you can get the most out of our blog:

• Our "Important Events" tab has been removed and has been combined with the "Calendar" tab.
• I have created a "Fundraiser" tab. This tab will have all current and future fundrasier information.
• I have created a "Technique" tab. Dancers refer to this to help them with various technical skills.
• The "Practice" tab is now called "Music". All current music is posted under this tab. Practice wear is located on the side bar.

Saturday Practices

Competition season is sneaking up on us, and we want to be prepared! I have scheduled another Saturday Practice for:

Saturday, October 29th. (6am-10am)

You should already have on your calendars the following Saturdays:

Saturday, November 5th (6am-10am)

Saturday, November 12th (6am-10am)

We will not be adding any other Saturday practices in November or December.

Please keep these mornings clear as they are mandatory.

Quote 10/10-10/14!

Sorry guys, this one's kinda long:) but i promise it's really good!!!!!!

"Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character."
-T. Alan Armstrong

This basically says it all...If we want to be champions NOW is the time to do so, not at competition. Isn't that what we want-to be champions??

Reminders!

Here's a reminder of the things we have going on this week.
Upcoming Events
 Wednesday (October 12th) Hazen's "Proof"@ 6 pm. There is a $30 deposit due, ALL GIRLS MUST PAY.
Thursday (October 13th) PM assembly (we WANT to do military for this) Football game against Grantsville! (We are doing Camp dance!) :D
Friday (October 14th) Halloween Party @ Kylie's House, Time TBA

Side notes
Everyone NEEDS to practice headstands if we want to do Military... so PLEASE practice, it takes 5 seconds to do one headstand, you can do it!! :D Practice hitting angles, and your "Angry Eyes" or in other words, Your mad face. :) Oh, and practice the Kick Line!
Make sure you are reviewing Camp Dance as well, we HAVE to look our best. :)
Also,
Remember Attitude is everything! If you have a good attititude, things will go well. If you have a bad attitude, things will not go well. It is as simple as that. So, remember to have a good attitude. :)
I love you all!

Your Homework

Since we didn't get much accomplished in practice today, I need all of you to really focus this weekend reviewing the dance changes, reviewing military, and be working on those technical skills in our routines (ie, headstands, al la secondes, fouettes, etc..) Come Monday lets just pick up where we left off and get a bunch accomplished!

Megan- awesome MVD this week. Thanks for always working hard- we didn't get much time to talk about your awesomeness; so just remember that you're awesome!!!!

This upcoming week we have:

Hazens Detail Meeting Wednesday @ 6pm at the High School

PM Assembly and Home Game vs Grantsville Thursday

We will be letting you know a the beginning of the week what dances we will be doing.

Lovely ladies, remember that some practices will be harder than others, and it's how you take those practices and grow from them that make the difference. No matter the critiques, the repetitive dances, or all the sweat, remember that we are all working towards a common goal; improving and being the best we can be. (Individually and as a team.) As coaches, our job is to train you, help you improve, and coach you; don't get discouraged when we are harder on you at times, that's our job. We just see all the potential you have and want to get you to that next level!

Lastly, don't get too hung up on practice today over the weekend; nothing is 100% finalized yet, so keep your heads high until we give you official word.

Thanks-

Hey everyone, I wanted to tell you how much each and everyone of you matter. I'm so excited for this year cause you all are great dancers. Please remember that you are part of a team, and that you need to be unified to be great. Every little detail matters. Please dont feel offended when we try to correct you. We know you are working hard and we just want you to be the best. instead of feeling offended, say thank you and correct it and know that that correction is one step closer to that trophy your working hard for. This isn't easy, otherwise it would be some other sport hahaha. We need to put all those little differences behind us and start fresh everyday. If there is at all any problems, we are here to help you. Please trust us. We love you guys, or we wouldn't be here for you. We know you're all wonderful, now prove it to yourself and the rest of those schools that you are. Lets show them who rules. I want to challenge each one of you to make a new goal everyday, to improve on something or stand out or even make someone elses day by giving them a some great remark. I double dog dare you.
We love you- Coaches

Hip Hop Music

Your Hip Hop music has been posted under the practice tab.

Keep your heads high, keep working hard, and lets really take our team to the next level!

Practice ALL the changes we made in Dance today, and remember; it is better to change what isn't great now, so we can truly perfect ourselves and focus on executing a GREAT routine.

I'm very excited for Jazz, I think with a few added touches and cleaning it up, it will be awesome. Tomorrow we will be reviewing all dances, especially Dance and Military.

Love you all- let's work it!

QUOTE! finally!

i finally figured out how to make a new post! the button wasn't where it normally is on my computer... haha. anyway if any of you already saw the comment with the quote for this week that's ok! im putting it here too!
"The road to success is always under construction." - Unknown
so, if we want our team to be a successful one, we need to be working hard in practice, and in the end it will all be worth it. (:

Hazen Changes!

The dates and times of Hazens has changed. Here are the new dates:

• October 12th (wed): Hazens Meeting 6pm at Stansbury High School $30 deposit DUE!! - all girls required to pay
• ?? (We are working with Hazens to fix this date) TBA - October 21st (Frid): HAZEN Picture Takes at Stansbury High starting at 3pm

Please review the handout we gave the girls. Chantal is here if you have any questions! (She is the one that has been talking to them- thanks Chantal!)

These dates can also be found in out calendar tab.

Presenting the Flag Tomorrow!!!

ALL TEAM MEMBERS:

I'm still getting details, but we were asked if we could present the flag at the red ribbon assembly tomorrow.

I believe that the color guard will be gone (still getting details/assuming) so of course we will help out! (because we are awesome..) :)

Please bring your warm ups, black shirts, and black hip hop shoes to school tomorrow. We are on PM Assembly schedule. We are not performing in this assembly (it's not a pep assembly), but we will just be presenting the flag. We will go over a walk on/counts tomorrow. (Janica, be thinking if you have any ideas- something simple) I was just going to have our officers present, but I thought it would look really cool to have the officers in front presenting, then the rest of the team in a straight line in the back. (That way, no one will get us confused with the color guard.)

Please plan accordingly!!!! Thank you!

Donut Fridays

We have been approved to sell donuts every Friday at school. We will be giving the next couple of Fridays a shot, and I will see how it affects our practice time/girls. I will probably have my alternates (depending on which dance) sell the majority of the time, but probably in shifts so they are only gone about 15 minutes from practice.

So, as of now, we will be selling donuts every Friday from 7:25am - 7:55am by the cafeteria. Leslie Lerwill has graciously offered her services to order the donuts and help set-up/sell every Friday! (Thanks Leslie!)

I have put it in the Bulletin to have announced every Thursday.

Thanks!

Hey girlies-If you have any markers, stencils, glue, scissors, ect. that you would like to bring to class tomorrow (tues oct 4), we are making posters for up coming events, since we can't practice in the gym. Also, No early morning practice tomorrow as well. Come to the classroom ready for the day.
Love you all- Heidi
