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.

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.

                             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
