Cheer Only

ALL TEAMS:  wear black tshirt/gray shorts for Day 1 and B2 shirt/black shorts Day 2 of CHOREOGRAPHY!!  I have B2 shirts in my office from camp for those of you who did not pick yours up.  You can get them next week when you are here for stunt clinic.  Thanks!!

JV-VAR CHEER:

Reminder:  EVERYONE on JV-VAR is welcome to try out for the BHS VAR COMPETITION TEAM.  Please keep in mind that this team is built to compete at a very high level.  We will practice at least 1 time a week and 1-2 times if necessary.  I plan to schedule the weekly practice during an evening when the gym is available, probably a WEDNESDAY or maybe THUR.  I will do my best to make this a consist day of the week.  I will try NOT to use a Sunday afternoon practice but it is sometimes our only choice due to volleyball games and gym availability due to where our mats are located and if there is a volleyball game(s) or if the s. commons is being used.  I am in the process of working on the practice schedule.

WE need people who are willing to work hard and commit to the team.  Anyone making this team is expected to maintain a high level of commitment. (i.e. work on skills, conditioning, tumbling, etc.) It is a privilege to be on this team, not a right.  We want to TAKE STATE!!

We are considering the possibility of a JV level, small competitive team.  This will not be decided until after the VAR COMP TEAM is cut. No guarantees! 

TK, Miss Laurie and Miss Bradley (new 9^th coach)

Important Dates to Remember

I have bagged all uniforms. (Black/Wht summer outfit, filler pieces, new for 9^th, etc.)  I am taking them over to the TAC to Miss Laurie in the next 30 min.  Please stop by after 12:00 today or between 7:30-4:00 PM Thursday or Friday to pick up yours.  All 9^th Cheer and 9^th Dance have something to pick up and anyone who had filler pieces ordered have a pick up.  Reminder, if you are working “Stuff the Bus” this Saturday, we are wearing the BLK-WHT summer outfit for that event.  Again, thanks for volunteering to my parents/cheerleaders/dancers!

9-JV CHEER:  please bring a check for $78.00 for Stunt Clinic, made payable to BHS, the first day of clinic.  I have your release forms already.  VARSITY:  arrive by 8:15 AM to put out the mats.  9/JV arrive by 8:30 to sign in and give me your check.  Reminder, this event has been on the calendar since April (actually since March) and it is MANDATORY that all team members be at the clinic.  It is a stunt clinic and a team member missing doesn’t allow that stunt group to work and learn.  Any absence will count as unexcused unless previously approved due to family wedding, etc.  You get 3 unexcused absences for the year per practices/procedures.

Balances due at THREADS: Reminder

Next, BALANCES were due at THREADS on July 15^th  We need to order the new warm ups to ensure that they are embroidered and ready to go when cold weather approaches.  I know that seems far way now but 100 cheerleaders/dancers later it takes a while to do.  Reminder, you can go by the shop or CALL and pay by credit card if you are out of town but receiving this message. Thanks for your attention to this matter.  479-464-9555 THREADS
