Stallionette Studs
Girls!!! Get your studs to come to practices this week, Wednesday and Friday from 7:15am - 7:55am! Tell them about our showcase they will perform at 7pm! They will also get treats in the morning if they come. (Yes, they will get in free to the concert, just not their parents or friends.) I will be putting this in the announcements this week. Thanks!

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!

Practices Next Week
I know you love me :)
Next week we will begin learning our lyrical routine for the year end showcase and for competitions next year! For the next couple weeks, we will only have practice starting at 6:30am on Silver days. We will not practice on blue days. (That's right, you ladies deserve to sleep in- you have worked so hard this year!) However, if I feel we aren't learning enough quick enough, I will add some early mornings.
We will begin early morning practices everyday again in a couple weeks- we only have 5 weeks until our showcase! After our showcase, you will have two months of no early morning! (Yay!)
I am so proud of you and I can't wait to end this year with an AMAZING showcase! Let's have fun these next couple of weeks and finish strong. Love all of you!
P.S. You need to have your class dances choreographed by February 22nd (Wednesday). We will begin learning them the following practice.
