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:
- Tuesday: Black dance pants and black stallionette top
- Wednesday: Black dance pants and blue zebra top
- Thursday: Black dance pants and jersy top
*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:
- 4-6 yrs old: Janica, Maddie , Hailey Paige, Caitlyn, Megan (Big Gym)
- 7-9 yrs old: Emily, Sarah, Aly, Chloe, Kendra, Emma (Big Gym)
- 10 and up: Jessica, Kylie, Maggie, Erin, Olivia (Small Gym)
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:
- Paige and Chloe: 4-5 yrs old

*Please make sure you are knowledgeable of the above information. Print this post out so you can refer to it often. Keep track of time when you're in your groups, but don't rotate until Katie or Veronica shout to do so. Tell your dancers to bring water bottles and appropriate shoes! We will discuss any other information needed at practice.
Thank you and lets have a great mini drill clinic!!!
