2012 members:
I have now posted what days each of you will be teaching your trick on the calendar. Rememer you need to come ready to teach/take up 25 minutes of 5th period. Think of counts, hints, or key words to help demonstrate and teach your trick. I will no longer remind you, so it is your job to look on the calendar and know your day! Remember, this is a part of your grade!
Thanks ladies!

Dues
I hope you all are resting over this dead week! Please make sure you are working on your stretching, technique, and dance material we learned. (Videos should be up on our 2013 SHS drill facebook page soon.)
Please remember the following due dates:
Event Reminders:
Please remember the following due dates:
- By this Wednesday night I need to have your commitment to camp. Everyone needs to email, text, or facebook message me on whether you will be attending camp or not. This is Mandatory. If any drop out after this date, you will still need to pay a $50 camp fee.
- On Monday, April 30th your conflict calendars are due for June, July and August. Please try to get your planning for the summer as complete as possible by Monday so I can plan accordingly.
- On Thursday, May 3rd your Zumbathon money is due to the finance office. It is mandatory to sell 8 tickets. Please, let me know before hand if you are having troubles finding 8 people. There are always dancers that maybe know of more people to help you out. Remember, the bigger and better we make these fundraisers, the less we will have to do!!! Let's put all our effort into making our big fundraisers a HUGE success!!!
- On Friday, May 4th all of your receipts are due to Heidi. No exceptions. A penalty will be given for any dancers that do not have their receipts Friday morning and/or didn't sell all their tickets.
Event Reminders:
- Officers, remember we have a meeting at 5pm at my house (Kamie's.) We will have supplies for you. Don't be late!
- Next week is a practice week with practices at 6am. Now that you've had a week to get the hang of things, if you are late, it'll cost you and the team laps! On Tuesday and Thursday next week we will be practicing out on the track/field. So please dress appropriately.
- The Zumbathon or "Zumba De Mayo" is on Saturday, May 5th at 6:30pm. Drill members will need to be at the SHS big gym at 6pm.

Lyrical
Members and Family-
This week has been a great practice week. All of our members have worked really hard and have shown great dedication. I am so excited for this year.
In watching the talent level and abilities of our dancers, I have decided that the lyrical we were going to have the new members learn is simply too beginning for our team this year. I've pushed our team a lot with our dance routine and in seeing their work ethic and potential, I believe the best thing to do is start over and choreograph for the team we have this year. It will be very stylized, emotional, and of course, technical. This decision I thought hard about. I want to help get this team as far as they can this year and I strongly believe by doing a new, more advanced lyrical, we can accomplish that. Returning members; know that the time you spent on lyrical was never wasted time. EVERYTHING is a learning experience and I believe you have all grown by practicing and perfecting the movement and emotion in that routine. Every dance, every turn, every step, every run through- helps you as a dancer for now and for your future careers.
Drill members; we will no longer be posting a video on facebook for you to learn. Instead, over our dead week, I'd like you to practice hard on the sections you have learned of our dance routine and really hit your stretching and technique training hard. By doing this homework, we won't be missing out on any needed practice time. We will post a video of you girls doing the dance routine on a facebook page so you can watch and practice over the week.
I'm so excited to choreograph our dance and lyrical routines for our team this year; know that YOU will be great! Continue the hard work!

snack foods to eat at practice
First of all, it is very important you eat something substantial before practice, like whole grain anything or eggs. Don't make it to heavy and full of fat, because the fat doesn't digest as fast as other things, and it might make you feel sick. Sugar foods, like pop tarts and candy and such things, will spike up your insulin levels, which will give you energy, but it will crash those levels just as fast. Whole grain and protein maintains these levels, so you wont have crashes. Eat 5 or 6 small meals a day and balance out your food ( grain, veggie or fruit and protein in every meal). You can still eat the candy and stuff, just not during practice time.
Make sure you drink a lot of water throughout practice and the day. It will, at first, make you want to use the rest room, but you'll get used to it. When you sweat, you lose water and salt from your body. Replacing that is very important. Powerade and drinks like that replenish this a little faster, but be careful to not drink to much, because it can give you kidney stones. Water is always a great thing.
*Nuts are a great source of protein and healthy fat. Almonds are the very best, but I
like trail mix too. Be careful of your salt in take, cause you don't want to get
dehydrated. Drink water and lots of it.
*Peanut butter or meat sandwiches. Put these in a zip lock and piece it apart when you
get a break at practice.
*Fruit and veggies. I buy the big bag of frozen fruit and put it in a container. That
way it stays cold and it feels more like a treat.
*Whole grain crackers or fig newtons. These aren't my favorite choices but they are
better than starving or eating high sugar. Also, be careful when they say fat free,
because most of the time it has added sugar.
*oatmeal. i know a little harder to bring to class, but a great breakfast.
*Whole wheat bread or bagels. Put some cream cheese on this and you've got a protein
whole grain mix.
*Yogurt
*Pretzels. Again, be careful of the salt.
I hope this helps. If there is anything else i can post, i will. I hope you understand this, and its not too confusing. Doing this will help prevent injuries. Thanks so much

Mini Drill Details
Here are the details for Mini Drill. This is a lengthy post, but please read thoroughly and know your assignments as I don't want to spend much practice time discussing. Thanks!!
Remember that you can still sign up mini drill girls. The deadline is Tuesday when the Mini Drill Clinic begins. Keep finding those girls!!! Every little bit counts!
We need all of you to be there each day BY 4:45pm. I want you to all look the same so the girls can find you; so please wear the following:
*Please have your hair pulled back in a pony all three days so we look clean, professional, and similar.
Veronica and Katie will be running this event. They will be signing girls in and making sure everything is running smoothly. If there is a problem, talk with one of them at the clinic and they can help you or find the answer.
Here are your Mini Drill Groups:
From 5:00-6:00pm on Tuesday and Wednesday you will be in your designated groups teaching the routines. Your officers are choreographing and teaching the routines. During these times you may/will need to break from time to time to let the girls have a water break, play duck duck goose, etc.. But please make sure you use your time wisely. (Officers- try to get all material taught on the first two days so the third can be a review/dress rehearsal. With younger girls, remember to teach full out all the time; absolutely no marking. It confuses the girls and/or will make them learn incorrectly.Also make sure you bring your own boom box/speakers.) On Tuesday morning during our drill practice, I will let you get in your groups for a couple minutes and show the choreography, discuss any plans you have, etc..
From 6:00-6:30pm on Tuesday and Wednesday you will be gathering the entire group together to learn the last group dance in the Main Gym. During this time, make sure you are standing not only on the outsides, but throughout the middle so the girls can watch you and see. Please dance the routine full out every time- they will copy exactly what you do.
From 6:30-7:00 on Tuesday and Wednesday you will rotate into your Technique Age Groups. Each group will divide into these halves:

Bear Making Party
As you all know, I hate small fundraisers just as much as all of you. Next year, my plan is to do a couple more BIG/event fundraisers and make them AWESOME in place of all the small fundraisers.
Of course, we can't do that unless we do our big events BIG! So, with that said, we will be selling ballerina/dance bears at our mini drill clinic.
I did this once before with my last drill team when we hosted a drill competition, and they were a HIT! (And that was with teenage girls, think about how well they will sell with little girls!)
We buy $1 teddy bears, different colors of tule, then make tutu's and bows for the bears- resulting in ballerina bears!!
So, we are having a mandatory ballerina bear making party! Here is the info:
Kamie's House
Friday, March 9th
5:30pm
We will have snacks and drinks. We will have a blast making these bears together! You don't need to bring anything, just yourself! With all 22 hands, we will get a ton made in no time! Maybe we can even watch a fun dance movie while we're making! It will be oh so fun. :)
Like I said, this is MANDATORY. Please try and get your schedule cleared.
(If you have done EVERYTHING you possibly can to clear your night and you still cannot come, you will need to take home 10 bears and make them on your own and turn them in Monday the 12th at practice)
Yay for making fun bears! I [know these will sell GREAT!
Thanks!

I do not have the competition order yet, but it will still be military, dance, then character. These will be QUICK changes since there are only 7 teams competing! We have to be completely ready to go by the time competition begins, because during we'll only have time to change and get to the door to walk on! For our character, I need you to get with you partner and help each other get ready quickly. (Beaks and everything!)

Mandatory Practice Tomorrow After School
Due to the power outage and competition in just three days AND REGION IN ONE WEEK we will be holding a MANDATORY practice tomorrow (Thursday) after school from 2:45pm-5:30pm.
Many of you should already have this time scheduled since it was originally hip hop practice. We will no longer be holding hip hop practice tomorrow, but we will run it a couple times at the end of practice. This is now a mandatory TEAM practice.
I know you all have been working hard, but now is when we need to push and give all we've got. AFTER competitions we can relax. We only have a couple more weeks of competition!!! (Unless we make it to state!!! Oh ya)
Please come ready to work HARD in practice tomorrow- be dedicated and give 110% over the next two days and of course at competition too!!
I have also scheduled the following night practices for next week (the week of Region):
Tuesday, January 17th from 2:45pm - 5:30pm
Thursday, January 19th from 2:45pm - 5:30pm
*If practices Monday through Thursday morning goes well and exceeds my expectations, we will not have the Thursday night practice. So work hard!!!
Now that you slept in today, please practice hard tomorrow and Friday so we don't waste our time! If we have to practice, we may as well practice right???!!! YES!
We can do this- I KNOW what you're capable of! Let's do it together! Wahoo!

Competition Info for Parents & Spectators
Can you believe our last invitational competition is here?! We have loved having you come to our first two and LOVE to hear the cheers as the girls take the floor! Of course, we would love to have you all again! Thanks for your continued support!
This competition will be fantastic because it's MUCH closer to us! This Saturday is our Murray Classic Competition held at Murray High School.
Saturday's Team Competition prices are: Adults (age 19+) $10, Students (ages 6-18) and Senior Citizens (age 65+) are $8. Children 5yrs. and younger are FREE.
Team competition starts at 8:30am with awards around 8:00pm.
Click here to see the competition schedule and our list of performance times. Each dancer will receive a print out with this information tomorrow at practice.
Public will NOT be allowed into the building until 7:30am on Saturday, Jan. 14th. Park on the SOUTH side of the school and enter through the Glass doors on the WEST leading into the gymnasium.
The competition info states that they have some wonderful vendors coming with a lot of COOL things for you to check out and know that there will be a "boutique" for you to shop at during the long day. :-)
Please send your daughter with money as either they will purchase dinner at the competition or be stopping and getting food when it ends. Your daughter WILL have a lunch provided by the competition. I deeply apologize for the confusion at Delta; in an email Delta informed me that the "team lunch will be held just 2 mins from the dressing rooms", so I took that as them providing a team lunch. (As we all know, that wasn't the case!)
Hopefully that covers all the questions you may have on your end. Thanks and I'm looking forward to seeing all of you!
