Labor Day Parade

.
JV and Varsity will be marching together in the Louisville Labor Day parade.

 Meet behind Louisville Middle School by 8:45am. The parade begins at 10am. Pick your daughter up at Community Park at the end of the parade route. The girls are free to leave as soon as we finish marching.

Attendance is optional, but I need to know who will be attending so that Cathy and I can plan the performance for the grandstand.

Bring poms and wear the new game uniform with black bow.

Choreography extra day

.
I spent the day today (8 hours, and 8 hours again tomorrow) at the gym while varsity is working their competition choreography. And, I really think that JV could use more time on full mats.

So, I have requested the small gym on Friday afternoon, August 27th, so we can roll out all of our mats for some extra work on the choreography. I should get notice this week if that works in the school schedule. (It currently shows clear.) Please mark your calendars for practice that day from 3 to 6pm. It is easier to cancel, than to schedule another practice with even shorter notice. Thanks. SCRATCH THIS!!!


I spoke with the volleyball coach today, and they practice after school next Friday in both gyms from 4 to 6:30. So, we cannot practice then. Volleyball has everyday after school and most Saturdays in both gyms as well. However, he says that they are not practicing this Saturday, August 21. I know that the girls have Club Mo on Friday night, so I would like to call a practice this Saturday from noon to 3pm. I also realize that it is very short notice. We could really use some time on full mats to get the choreography going. Then on Wednesday night mat rental we can run and mark the routine for an hour once/week. We have 4 mat rentals before our first competition.

New Calendar feature

I will keep this calendar up to date with any schedule changes. I have added the Basketball schedule to this blog and to the calendar. Please be careful about the "map" feature of the calendar, as it often seems to be wrong. For instance, the Xtreme Altitude that it sometimes maps is of is the Lafayette gym. We will be at the Broomfieild gym. And if I type MHS as the location, it thinks we are in Arizona.

JV Competition music

I have uploaded a video of the competition music with the description of what is happening at each count. This may be interesting for the girls to see. If it makes sense to you, please study it and visualize if you can.

Click on the Title above or the link below. I changed the video because the second music was not synced to the descrption screens. Now that is fixed.

KNOW YOUR CHEERS TESTING

.
PRACTICE YOUR CHEERS.

You will be tested this Thursday. If you do not know them, you will condition for every cheer you do not know. Returning girls, you should now them well. New girls, I am expecting you to start to be able to get the motions tighter and stronger. Please practice in the mirror or with a friend. The more you practice, the easier it is. Our first game is in one month. Check the "CHEERS" page for the test schedule, and know those cheers.

If you do not pass the tests before the first game, you will sit in the stands until you know your cheers.
