Teams Attending Murray Classic

Received the info on what teams we will be competing against at our Murray Competition!

Juan Diego
Morgan
North Sanpete
Payson
Uintah
Stansbury!!
There are only 6 3A teams at this competition. This is a HUGE competition for 5A with 17 teams! (I'm glad we're not 5A, sheesh!)

Morgan is in our region, so it is wonderful practice to compete against them before Region comes! There are 6 competing in Dance and Military, 4 of us competing in Character, 4 of us competing in Hip Hop, and 4 of us competing in Officers. Wahoo!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got a chance to be around your loved ones, eat yummy food, and enjoy this magical holiday!!!

Hazen Pick Up

Hazen pictures are available to be picked up at Chantal's house. Everything but the team photos are there.

Enjoy!

Cookie Dough, Part lll

Sorry about all the cookie dough posts!!!

I am requiring each girl to sell $50 worth aka 10 bags. You can sell while bringing the cookie dough with your or pre-sale and then deliver; either one is just fine. Whatever works best for you!!!!

Thanks!

Cookie Dough, Part II

Hey Team,

You can get your cookie dough from myself, Heidi, or Teresa Hansen. There are two dozen cookies per bag, they are all M&M cookies. There are about 150 bags total to sell. They cook at 350 for 12-18 minutes. Kendra's mom had a great idea to cook some in quarters and give them as samples as you sell them. Let me know if you have questions,

Thanks and Happy Holidays,

Karla

Workout/Tech days in December

(You should all love me for not holding mandatory practices over our non-moratorium days over break!)

BUT, we will be offering a couple of optional practices for workouts, technique, and stretching.

So we have:

• Wed, Dec 28th Workout/Deep Stretch from 7am-8am
• Thurs, Dec 29th Technique day from 8am-9:30am
• Friday, Dec 30th Workout/Deep Stretch from 7am-8am

Hope you all can make it! It will help get us ready after Christmas for our two weeks of practice before Murray Classic! Have fun, eat food, but remember to stretch nightly and run through the routines so we don't digress. Lets begin where we left off when we come back from the holidays!

Love you and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Cookie Dough Fundraiser

I know many of you have freezer fulls of cookie dough, so lets start selling!

We will sell each bag for $5.  We will begin now and all money will be due to the finance office (and final sales) on January 20th.

These should sell great for Christmas, New Years, and during the cold month of January! Since this is pure profit, I am okay if you have to lower the price a tiny bit for anyone that needs it. Thanks Kendra and family!!!

Thanks girlies, and AMAZING job this past weekend! Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MVD!

Okay, I forgot to post about Olivia last week! :( Sorry Liv! But, last week Olivia was our MVD! She was chosen for her great eye! And being a great right hand man. And she is just awesome! :)
This week Miss Hailey was MVD! She was chosen because of her great improvement, as well as her being awesome! :)

Competition Hair

Hey ladies. I've heard several girls say they need to know the hair right now so they can know how to do it. I've heard that a few people don't like the hair from last time, and some girls want something easier. So here is what we're doing Saturday! Part on the left, braided bangs, and bun in the back near the bottom. The braid needs to be an under braid (french braid). If you can't do a French braid, find someone to help you! Several of us can braid!
To school on Friday wear your jackets to school, and tell everyone about our competition! :)

Friday Details

Here are the girls I have going down to the solo competition Friday night:
         Hailey, Erin, Kendra, Paige, Olivia, Katie, Aly

Make sure you bring ALL your stuff to practice tomorrow. Jessica will be posting the competition packing list tonight, just make sure you pack items for an overnight stay and money. *There are not very many stores down there- please don't forget anything!!

Please wear your blue stallionette t-shirt with jeans Friday night.

I will be excusing you at 1:50 tomorrow. Grab your things and then meet outside the front doors of the school (that's where I'll be with the suburban)

Make sure you pick up the overnight form TODAY at the front office, have your parent sign it, and bring it back to me tomorrow!

We will be eating dinner somewhere in Delta before the competition starts.

All other girls, please make sure you read the detailed post so you know what time we are meeting and details.

Get ready to have fun!

Friday Night Solo

Since we don't have a basketball game, we have scheduled the suburban and I will be driving down with Chantal on Friday to watch Chloe's solo. We will be spending the night at the Budget Motel in Delta. We have scheduled a couple of rooms and we can fit 8-9 people total (including myself the driver.) We will take down who ever gets back to me first.

You will just need $15 for the hotel room per girl plus money for food Friday night and Saturday night. Four girls have already gotten back to me, so we have 2-3 more spots left. (I am still finding out official number of how many the suburban can hold.) Please let me know quickly if you'd like to go! (You'll have so much fun with me and Chantal! haha)

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

No Game Friday

Correction, there is no game Friday. Please consider going to support Chloe for her solo! We are currently trying to figure out rides, etc... Let me know if you're interested.

Sorry about the confusion.

P.S. Make sure you wear your warm ups to school tomorrow.

Great Basin Program

Homework Tonight

Your homework tonight is to go over all the parts in military you are unsure about, mess up on, or need extra practice on. It should be completely clean. If you have questions tonight, call an officer/Janica and ask!

Here are some things I'd like you to be practicing this week:

• Flexibility- sit in those splits! You should now be comfortable sitting in them- not straining at all.
• Posture- practice sitting and walking upright with shoulders back, abs engaged! (*Remember like I said, if you walk around all day with your stomach contracted, you would have a six pack!)
• Head stand control and timing- know your counts!
• Kickline technique- not swaying your upper body, correct turnout, foot placement, and hookup

Please be going over your facials and sound effects. I will be posting some of the main comments we got from judges on the blog. Remember that execution was our lowest scores. I know we can do it ladies! 10 minutes a night will help TREMENDOUSLY! Love ya :)

Great Basin (Delta) Competition Details!

Our next competition is already here!

Again, we will be meeting at the school at 5:15am, we will leave promptly at 5:30am. Don't be late!

We will do a packing list check at 5:15am upon arrival. The Grantsville Lariettes will be riding down on the bus with us, so we will be putting all our bags underneath the bus. If there is anything you need on the bus, place in a separate small bag you have on the seat with you. Be respectful and good sports. We will be letting them get on the bus first. They will sit at the back  so that I can communicate with the bus driver. It will be fun to have a larger cheering section during competition for each other!

 Check in starts at 7:30am. We are the very first team again to perform, but this time Officer's are first with the competition starting at 10am.

For Parents, The competition will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.  The school address is 50 W. 300 N. Delta.  If you haven't been to Delta High School before, drive west on main Street in Delta and turn right (North ) at the 7-11 Store.  This will bring you directly to the Palladium parking lot. It doesn't mention what time they will begin letting in spectators, but I am assuming that 9:30am would be a great time to be there. Spectator Fees are Adults $7.00, Students $4.00, Seniors $3.00, 6 & under free. *Don't be afraid to cheer and scream!!! Try to sit together so a big section erupts when our girls step on the floor- it feels wonderful to hear that!

Here are a list of our performance times:

• Officers- 10:10am - very first for the day.... I think that we are just that awesome that all the comps what to have us go first! haha
• HipHop- 11:14am - a pretty quick change officers!!!
• Military- 1:30pm- we are close to the end in this division which is ALWAYS best!!!!
• Dance- 2:55pm- also a pretty quick change 
• Character- 4:30pm

Surprisingly, we are against a whopping 8 teams in our main divisions; there are more 3A than any other at this competition. I thought this would be a smaller competition, but I'm assuming everyone was thinking that resulting in quite a large one! That's only 2 less than UVU! I will be giving each girl a list of teams/schedule tomorrow at practice.

Stallionettes:

• We will not be getting any practice time on the competition floor. We are going to have to do our very best to "feel each other" and not the floor!!! If there is time, we will go in the stands and mark from up high.
• There are many quick changes. If you aren't in every dance, be ready to help. Listen and stay focused so things can move efficiently!
• Jessica will be posting a packing list and Veronica will be posting hair instructions. *Those that used egg whites at the last competition, their hair stayed, and looked better than those that didn't. This is mandatory. Those that don't use egg whites will result in the team running. (It is small things like this that really make a difference AND it saves time at the competition avoiding re-application of gel/hairspray.) Those that did it said that their hair was so soft after they washed it out- it truly is really good for your hair- I promise!!!
• Again, it states that food/drink are not allowed in the dressing rooms, but i'm okay with you bringing "clean" snacks and bottled water.*Please do not make a mess- this competition requires a $50 cleaning deposit that we may/or may not get back when they give us our judges sheets/checkout at the end of competition. *We will have a classroom for our dressing room, which is how the rest of our competitions (except for State) will be. Do not touch anything in the classroom- it should look exactly the same at check out as when we get there.
• Since Officers is first, I will be having other members do our shoe check and music check. I will be having  Olivia and Mckaylee do shoe check and Erin and Caitlyn do music check. Please get with the officers that have done this before to make sure you understand what you need to bring/do. Both checks will begin at 8am, shoe check at the announcers table and music at the sound system. By doing this, our officers will have plenty of time to get dressed, stretch, and review. Thanks in advance Olivia, Mckaylee, Erin and Caitlyn!
• There will be a place for us to warm up/ review but it is first come first serve. Please be respectful and listen so we can be quick! (We did a pretty good job a that at UVU!)
• Make sure you bring money for dinner! We will be stopping for food on the way home!

The competition is looking to end around 5:15pm with winning soloists performances, drill down and awards to follow. I'm thinking the competition will end around 6:30pm.

Yay for our 2nd competition!

Can't wait to see all you parents there!!!

This Week

Competition week again! Woo Woo! This week we have:

• Monday night is Emma's and Maggie's Nutcracker Performance!!! Please go support!!!
• Tuesday night is a girls bball game- not required, but would love for you to attend.
• Friday night is a boys basketball game. We will be performing hip hop for half time. It is mandatory that all members attend, even if you're not in hip hop.  Since we have competition the next day, I will excuse all of you after halftime- (you need your rest!!!) I would try and pack before the game.
• Chloe is competing her solo on Friday night in Delta! We are so excited for her to compete! Yes, I know she's in hip hop, but we will just leave a hole. We love you Chloe!!
• Saturday is Competition! I will be posting all the details for this competition tomorrow. 

Let's have a great week!
