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!

"The road to success is always under construction." - Unknown

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!
