Stansbury Stallionettes: April 2014

Hey there parents. I would love to be able to get a Facebook for just parents for this upcoming year. We had tried it this last year and I liked being able to stay in touch with you without the girls knowing whats going on plus you all can chat with each other too. Is there a possibility all of you can get a Facebook account, request to be my friend- Heidi Slack Smith- and then i will put you in a private group? You don't need to be apart of all the craziness of Facebook, but just to be apart of the group, you need a Facebook account.

Also, The camp fee is now $250. We don't need another night for hotel rooms, so its now $250 instead of $275. Great News.

Also, Jr high Kids parents. We have had some request of maybe doing a car pool for School when practice starts at the end of April. My suggestion is lets do a parents Facebook to communicate for that, and we will get every ones Email, phone numbers, ect. at the parents mtg on the 1st of May.

I'm so excited for this year. Thanks for already being great parents.

First of all, I have to tell you how extremely impressed I am by every single one of you. I had some of you Typing things up, some given me pages of things to read, some of you in dresses, some you needing to present yourselves and professional, and most of all, the ideas and passion coming from everyone of you. It almost tears me up. You all made quite an impression. More than any other year of officers I’ve interviewed. What an AMAZING group of girls you are and I know each one of you will be leaders in your lives. Keep that up. I’m so extremely proud of you.

So’ I have thought and read and thought and read again. I’ve prayed about it. I’ve listened very intently and didn’t allow my personal feelings to try to make my decisions. I based the results on a professional sight and I really had great feelings for each one of those people in these positions.I had every intention of cutting 2 girls to fill in 6 spots. I feel I need to make the very best for this team, personal feelings aside. Each one of you came to play and created ideas I have never heard before. You all want the very best for this team, and I feel, over your own gain. I feel every one of you girls had so much to offer, I felt it would be worse for me to cut 2 INSPIRING girls. How do I choose when I was blown away by all of your ideas. My decision is there will be 8 officers, who will lead this team and inspire this team. Bring the PASSION out of the team and apply it to our gain. I feel you 8 are so strong that there is no way our team can fall, if you all work together, of course. We will give the team an ear when they need one. Everyone is in charge of a certain group of girls and you will represent them in our team. We will have our first team mtg next week and we will schedule them for the year along with officer dance practice.

This being done, I have created 2 more positions of course. Each one of you will be paired up.

There is a Captain and CO-Captain. They will work as one. One in charge of business and one in charge of spirit, but both complimenting each other and helping each other out, listening to the amazing ideas you presenting to me, to make a bigger stronger Leading Role(s).

I would like you to get the crowd excited to see us before we perform, so you are also in charge of speaking and announcements for games. Shoe Check and assign other officers for music check, ect. Working with the team on struggles and excitement

Co-Captain- Assistant to the Captain, Lead and create Cheers, Team building Games, spirit, Locker Room decor, Quotes every week for inspiration.

You both had AMAZING ideas which both of you NEED to work together on. Captain,Please dont act bigger than the Co- Captain and treat each other will love,and support each other in each ideas.

1st Lieutenant and 2nd Lieutenants are at the same rank. I made them 1 and 2 to make sure there isn’t confusion in Lieutenants duties. I do want all four of you complimenting each other and helping each other out. Lead your team through these duties and give them a year to remember. Share ideas and be respectful.

There are TWO 1st Lieutenants. There job is Very important for team bonding. Please be very serious and passionate and organized about your job. I expect great things from you two, because of your fun personalities and your love for your team. You both had mentioned parties and This position screamed your names to me. Every Month you are in Charge of Birthdays. I want a fun treat that we will provide money for you to get and a present of your choice to make or buy. you both need to coordinate together, because this is time consuming and quite hard to remember every ones day. You can do anything you want for their big day, singing, games, decorations, WHATEVER!!!! You are also in charge of Parties, EVERY MONTH. I want complete organization. We will have a party budget for you and you are in charge of location, games, activities, potluck assignments, prizes, ect. It needs to be planned out so there is complete fun and happiness there. This is when we will bond with laughter, because in practice it will be serious bonding. You will need to have mtgs together so both of you will be equally part of the events.

There are TWO 2nd Lieutenants. This Job is also VERY important. Without you two, we would not have money for our team needs like costumes ect. You are in charge of all fundraiser activities. You will advertise for our activities with flyers announcements, organize them, and decide how they will run. I chose you two because of your fun happy personalities and your organization. I want you to plan games to make the fundraisers a FUN RAISER. haha. Examples-Compete against groups on who can sell the most hot chocolate, which group can decorate the room the fastest and the coolest, a kick line with posters during pancake fundraiser, ect. Make fun things up. You will plan our logo groups and locations, pick a theme for chick pick and organize decorating groups, pick who sells hot chocolate and help at what time and create posters for this event. Organize groups for the float for parade and who will hold banners posters ect. Any time we can get money for something, you are in charge. This is a lot of work and we have one almost every month so work together and have a lot of fun with it. You both told me you wanted group games so here's your organization skills along with fun, spirit,and games all in one. You are also in charge of taking pictures and doing the slideshow for the banquet. Work together equally and learn to share duties.

TWO Drill Mistresses- I am totally mind blown on your talents. I was extremely impressed on your choreography and teaching skills. You are going to be amazing at this job. I need you to do cleaning, teaching, memorizing counts, counting, walk on walk offs, parade, officer dance for comp, camp dances, teaching technique everyday or every other day for ten min and on (whatever kind of time we have), leading your own warm up, stretching, and you need to be loud enough to let your huge team hear you.

Again, I am so proud of you. Please continue to surprise me and show your team what great amazing girls you are, and surprise them with the ideas and passion you showed me. I love you all. Please be a great leader and remember what it was like when you weren't representing your team. You are not above them, but pushing them in front of you on the way to victory.
