Statements

Parents I am so sorry these are taking forever I kept trying and trying to get a hold of our travel agent and supposedly she no longer works there and I just found out Friday so we are re-planning everything with a new travel agent and will have the prices hopefully this week and statements out over the break with a payment due right when we get back to school from the Christmas Break so the 6th of January. I also need to know for the parents that are going if you have a preference on who you room with, if you want your own room, and those details. Also if you are riding the bus or driving yourself. Let me know ASAP please and thank you. :) Also we have some opening for the Maverick Center for Parents on the 28th of December and the 31st of December. If you dont have your beer permit we have a way you can take it online for only $15.95. So let me know if you would like the link and more info or also if you would like to work. Thanks :)

This weeks schedule

Parents and Spinnies you will be happy to know things will slow down for the next two weeks then its back to the grind working our booties off to go and sweep the Murray Comp. I researched all the teams that will be there and there will be 8 4A's including us and only two of them we haven't competed against yet the rest we have competed against and we have placed over. There will be Corner Canyon, Box Elder, Timpview, Spanish Fork, Roy, Salem Hills, and Maple Mountain.  Maple Mountain will be tough so we need to be our best that day, but we have a month to get even better than what we already are. I can't wait. I know you guys are hungry for that win again and I KNOW you can do it. I should get times for routines the week after Christmas and I will post them on here. Lets get another amazing crowd. Just keep thinking how amazing it would be to sweep two competitions before going into region!!  I would like you to write all the names of those we are competing against at Murray no later than tomorrow and same thing post it somewhere you will see everyday. Once you have take a picture of it and send it to me. :) We have to just keep getting better. We can't stand still on this track of drill team that we are on for one second or we will get run over. Thats why I am giving you a good almost two week completely off from team practices but I will have some things I would like you to do on your own. Once we come back we have to work harder than ever for the last month. Then we get to go to Disneyland Woot Woot. Thanks again girls for all your hard work I seriously am so so so proud of you girls and know that seriously the sky is the limit for you. Lets keep moving forward together as a team and most importantly taking care of each other and our relationships. Because we are a TEAM!! Love you all xoxox. Let me know once you have read this and if you have any questions at all! Thanks xoxo

Monday - No Practice. Sleep in. Pay off for kicking bootie Saturday!!

Tuesday - Wear Warm Ups To School - Hoodie Under - Combat Boots (please keep them clean if you get them dirty on accident quickly clean them off)
 
               Practice - 4:00 pm -  They changed the game that was on Wednesday night to an away game and now there are two games on Tuesday a girls and boys, so that is why I need you to come early please. We are going to do character at both games because I feel like right now that one is our weakest and it needs to be our strongest. Come with warm ups on black racer tank under (already taped) tan tights on, pirate black spankies, with  hair done and perfected last Saturday some of you got a little lazy with your hair. Please dont be lazy. Have all make up on except glitter and blush. We will warm up then have an hour to review and perfect. We want the first performance to be the best its ever been and the second once even better. You will perform at the first game around 5:45 pm after you perform I will give you a 30 minute dinner break. Which  means you either bring something or you go somewhere close. Everyone has to be back in the dance room at 6:20 so we can spend another hour working on anything else we can make better for the second performance that will be around 7:30 pm. After you perform for the second time depending how it looked will depend if I let you watch the game or if we get to practice more so do it good so you can go support the basketball team and have some unity time.

Wednesday: - Practice 6:00 - 8:30 am - This practice we will be going over all changes that we will be making for routines that way over Christmas break you can review them until you can't do it wrong. We wont be making any huge changes just a few things to make your routines even stronger for Murray.

Thursday: No Practice

Friday: No Practice

Saturday: No Practice


We will not have a team practice again until December 30th and 31st. Then you will have January 1st off. Then we will be back to practice January 2nd and 3rd. Once I know times for those I will post them.
There is a drill comp January 4th at Copperhills and I would like our team to go just so you girls can watch! If you are interested let me know and we will coordinate rides. :)

On Monday December 23rd we would love to have our Team Christmas Party I text the girls and it seemed to work for everyone. So we are going to plan on having our team party from 4:30-7:30. I know a couple of you might have to leave early or come late and that's fine I would just love if everyone could at least come even its only for an hour it will be lots of fun. We will be having dinner, doing a gift exchange, and playing some fun games. If any parents would like to help with the dinner that would be great. Just text me. Don't feel pressure to though I know you parents have been helping a ton lately with team dinners and breakfast and we really appreciate it. I will have more details for you girls on the gift exchange and where the party is on Tuesday. Thanks.

Making of Incredible

 

Please listen to every night before you go to bed! xoxo

Competition Week!!

Dear Spinnies hope you are catching up on rest today because we have another busy week ahead. We are going to do what others wont so we can do what others can't. I know you girls can come away with the clean sweep this week. You were placed above Logan by several judges in all routines and we didn't even do our best so imagine us at the top of our game. We HAVE to do our best this week. That sweepstakes is what you girl needs but even more the confidence that as a team you can compete to your full potential. Please let me know if you didn't get my text messages today. Monday is a fresh start and a new beginining to the best week ever. I know you girls will work harder than ever to make sure you keep your spots in our routines. I am going to vamp up our pirate costumes and chests. And make some minor changes to our routines nothing big yet. I want to see what the judges say once they have seen it at its best. You scored really  well on routines minus the devil judge haha so I want to make just a few changes that I think will help benefit you but really 99% of our comments were more energy, bigger showmanship, spacing, and personal mistakes. So we are going to work really hard on those items this week. Please stay positive. You are in the heat of competition season so learn to love Sundays and take total advantage of them also Christmas break is just around the corner so please just give me your best physically and mentally this week. Love you all and I am proud of you and can't wait for our practices this week and for our comp Saturday.  


Monday: We have no practice but I would like you to do the following and text me once it is done. Review all facials and vocals 5 times each. At the end you should feel 100% confident with all vocals and should be able to do them all really loud and faces should be so precise and bigger than life. If not do it 5 more times please. I also would like you to stretch for a full hour. I dont care if you are already flexible everyone could push themselves a little harder this week so I want you to do a full hour stretch. Focus on breathing to get oxygen to muscles. If your splits aren't flat you need to stretch twice a day everyday this week because I will have to cut you if on Saturday you aren't hitting your splits perfect. I know you can all hit your splits flat though because I have seen it before so I know you can do it again. xoxo If you have a treasure chest will you put it in our closet tomorrow morning please.

Statements

Sorry parents I will have statements out to you this week. I have been waiting to get the final price on the trip so I could add that to your statements. So hopefully I will have it this week and have that out to be before Saturday thanks for your patience. xoxo

Competition Week!! YAY!!!

I can't believe its already here but I couldn't be more excited. As a team we have made amazing things happen in a week and that's what I am hoping for with this week. We are in a good spot we just really need to sprint this last mile if we want to pull ahead and be our best on December 7th. This is going to be a busy week, because we are going to give 212 degrees this week because remember that extra effort is what makes the difference. It will be a fun week as well though. Please follow the schedule below so you dont get overwhelmed, sick, or injured. Your body is your biggest tool so you need to make sure you take such good care of yourselves this week. xoxoxo

Sunday December 1st: Please make sure to finish your check lists. I am adding in one more item that I think will be very beneficial to your performance. I would like you to choreograph facials for dance and character. I hate to choreograph them for these two routines because I want them to be yours so you can perform them to the best of your ability. So I want you to take some time tonight and type up your faces for Dance and Character. Then bring me a copy tomorrow and make sure you bring a copy with you every day. Last thing and this is the most important one I want all of you in bed by 9:30 pm and light out and phones off by 10:00 pm please. I do this for you because I need your absolute best this week. Even I am going to try and get to bed by 10 so I can be the best coach for you girls this week so please make this a priority. xoxo

Monday December 2nd: Practice 5:30-8:50 am. I want you to think of a couple parts in each routine that you would like to feel more confident in and I am going to ask each of you at this practice what part you would like to review and we will go through one part per girl 5 times. We will only do the same part max of 5 times that way we can work on a bunch of different parts and maybe the same part a few times so you girls feel confident with your routines. Because when it comes down to it this Saturday is going to be about routines, confidence, and performance quality because there will be 4 (including you) very talented teams, so we need to set ourselves apart and really work hard this week on confidence and performance.  We will be doing this for each routine. The last hour of practice we will be breaking into groups and be having a performance competition, but this is also when you will be doing your routine pass offs. The team that wins best performance will win an awesome prize, but if you make a personal mistake during your groups performance in any routine then you owe we a mile before you can go get ready, so if you mess up in all 3 routines then you will owe me 3 miles before you get ready. If you have no idea what you are doing and are just being lazy I will ask you to leave. We shouldn't be making personal mistakes anymore. You girls all know your routines and can all do your routines so review review review tonight. I want to give you girls as many high pressure performances this week as I can so that Saturday is a piece of cake. This is the week to give everything we possibly have just keep thinking of how far you have come and how close it is. I AM SO EXCITED!!

In bed by 9:30 lights out at 10:00 pm 
Take a multivitamin of some sort.

Tuesday December 3rd: Practice 6:30am - 7:00 am Dont kill me all you are going to do for 30 minutes is sit in a circle and review facials and vocals in all routines for 30 minutes. I want to review these as much as we can this week so they just become natural to you. At 7:00 you can get ready for school. Love you. 

                                          Practice 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm: I will have the treasure chest put together so we will work on character using the chest for a good chunk of time so you feel comfortable with that. Also we will be doing another performance competition and some other fun things.

              Get all homework done before practice so you can go home and go to bed after practice. Same thing in bed by 9:30 lights out by 10:00 pm. Take a vitamin. xoxo

Wednesday December 4th: Practice 5:00 -8:30 pm - Yes this is suppose to be a morning practice but this is the only day Kelli could come in so you get to sleep in Wednesday morning just make sure you are on time to your second hour. None of you are complaining anymore right because you get to sleep in ;). Sorry if this messes with anyone's schedules but competition weeks are always crazy but are so fun!!

           Officer Treasure Chest Painting Party For Officers Only 4:00 pm in the dance room. 
                              Everyone in bed by 9:30 lights out by 10:00 pm. Take a vitamin.

Thursday December 5th: Practice 6:30-7:00 am - Vocal and Facial Practice - 7:00 am get ready for school. 

                                      Practice: 5:00 - 8:00 pm - This is the night of our competition preview. So we will warm up until 5:30pm. Then spend 45 minutes just doing walk through for each routine and warming everything up. At 6:30 we will get make up done and costumes on. Hair needs to be done when you come. We will also get everything organized since it will be a quick change I am going to try and find some fillers or maybe see if another team would want to join with us I am working on something so its not so awkward while everyone is waiting for you. The preview will start at 7:30 pm sharp and will go until 8:00 pm. After the preview we will have a team dinner just for you girls. We should be 100% done and out of the school by 9:00 pm. Then you need to be in bed by 10:00 lights out 10:30 and take a vitamin. 

Friday December 6th: Practice 6:00- 8:30 am - Yes I am letting you sleep in 30 minutes woohoo!! This will be our final practice before comp so anything we need to work on to help us feel 100% ready we will dedicate ourselves to at this practice. Wear your warm ups to school this day with combat boots and black racer tank under.

                             Solo Comp: Good Luck To All Of Our Soloist. You girl have worked hard and I am so excited to see your hard work on that stage. xoxo. 
                             Girls who aren't competing we will all meet at the school at 4:00 pm and be leaving at 4:05pm. The competition starts at 5:00 pm and should be done by 9:00 pm. Which means we will get home around 9:45 pm so that means you need to be already packed and ready to go for the morning, so when you get home you can go to bed. Make sure you pack a little sack dinner with you or some snacks because we wont be stopping to eat. You aren't suppose to have food in the auditorium so just hide it in a bag. :) This is a really fun night to bond as a team and support the other girls on our team competing I love these comps because we get to spend quality time together. xoxo

SATURDAY DECEMBER 7TH!!!! YAY DAVIS COMPETITION:
          
                              5:30 am we are leaving Cyprus High School and heading up to Davis High. We will get there at 6:30 get checked in then Sara and I have to go to a meeting at 7:00 and the rest of you will go with captains and mark formations. Yes I know we don't compete until 1:00 but we will get there get organized then do some breathing exercises to help calm your nerves then get up, do our make up, drink some zip fizz, then start warming up. WOOOHOOOO!!! I seriously am so excited. Lets give everything we have this week so Saturday we are more excited than nervous because we know we did everything to prepare for that moment. Love you all can't wait to see you shine on that floor Saturday. Times got bumped up a little due to people dropping routines so military is now around 1:00pm, Dance is around 3:30 pm, and Character is around 5:00 with Awards still around 7:00 make sure you tell people to be at least 30 minutes before these times in case more people drop Saturday!

Believe. Dont Quit. Win State!!!
