We really struggled to find drivers to the away game this Saturday. So, I have decided that we will just cheer for the freshmen home game this week. The game is at 4pm on Thursday, so we would be having practice anyway. We cannot afford to miss a practice, so we will instead have practice on Saturday morning instead of going to the away game. Practice will be on Saturday morning at the school from 9 to noon. We will probably be in the cafeteria.
Because we will not have uniforms for everyone yet by Thursday, we will wear black JV cheer jerseys, new bows, and black skorts to the game. I have skorts for those who do not have them yet. You will receive skorts and bows at Xtreme on Wednesday night.
New girls, please practice the following cheers. You will be able to cheer the entire first half if you know these cheers: This is your homework.
MHS
F-I-R-E (Let's get Fired UP)

We're Brave, We're Bold, Hey We're Black and Gold
VICTORY, That's the Monarch Battle Cry
MHS, MHS, Let's Go (to the side)
B-E-AT, Let's beat Broomfield (Ridge)

Move On Out to Victory

JV Cheerleading Tryouts
We will be holding additional tryouts for the Junior Varsity Cheer team on Monday, Sept 20. Please come to the student center at 4:30 on Monday. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend the information meeting from 4:30 to about 5:15.
Please Contact me, Lucie Lyons, in advance. I would like to get an idea of how many candidates to expect on Monday.
mohijvcheer@yahoo.com
At tryouts on Monday, you will be asked to demonstrate a jump, a cheer, tumbling if you have experience, and some stunting. You will be taught everything that you need to know before the tryouts begin. Please wear a white shirt, black shorts if you have them, and cheer-type shoes. Girls should have your hair in a ponytail. We will have an information meeting from 4:30 to 5pm, then learn material. Plan to be there until at least 6:30 pm.(Parents are encouraged to attend the information meeting.) Plan to have a sports physical, as that will be required right away if you make the team.
JV Practices are Tuesdays and Thursdays 3-5:30 at the school. Wednesdays from 8 to 9 at Xtreme Altitude Gym in Broomfield, and tumbling either Monday from 4 to 5 (learning backhandsprings) or Wednesdays from 7 to 8 (already can do a backhandspring, working tucks to twists) based on skill level.
The cost is approximately $700 total for the season for new cheerleaders who start now, and most items are reusable next season, or may be resold to other incoming cheerleaders next season.

SpiritFest at Elitch Gardens
.
September 11, 2010 at Elitch Gardens.
Two JV stunt groups are competing in the stunt group division that day. The schedule is approximate, and they may perform earlier or later. If you are only coming to watch the competition, please arrive at Elitches at least 90 minutes before to have time to park, get tickets if necessary, come through the entrance and screening, and make it to the performance area and find a seat. They will not seat during a performance, and the crowd can back up out of the venue sometimes.
Group A: Performs at 12:30pm
Reilly, Sydney, Ashley, Kaitlin, and Rachel
Group B: Performs at 12:35pm
Josie, Juliana, Fallon, Ally, and Destiney
The park opens at 10am, but registration begins for the competition at 8am, and the competition begins at 9am. All-Star teams compete first.
For the 10 Monarch JV competitors, please meet at MHS at 8am to run through the routines a few more times. Everyone else please arrive at 9am. We will leave for Elitches at 9:15am. All cheerleaders wear your new uniforms, no liners, with black bows. Also bring your JV cheerleader t-shirts and some shorts or jeans to change into for the remainder of the day. Also bring a little cash for food and drinks. Competitors will want to bring a healthy snack.
After arriving at Elitches, we will all meet at the entrance and I will give you tickets. We can go in before the general public with our tickets. We will head straight in to the venue to register and watch a team or two, so we get a feel for the venue.
Then, we can go ride some rides until 11:30.
Meet again at the venue at 11:30. We will warmup and stretch, and mark the routines.
We can head backstage at around 12:15 for our 12:25 warmup on the mats.
Then we will go out immediately and perform.
Following the performance, we can meet outside for a quick discussion,
then we will sit together in the stands to watch the JV teams perform.
The entire competition is complete at 3:30, and awards are at 3:45. We will need to be there for those as we will be awarded placings.
So, at around 4pm, we will ride some rides until about 5:30. Then meet at the front entrance for departure.
We need drivers to the event at 9am, and home around 5:30pm. Let Renee Enroth know if you can drive that day. Girls can be picked up at the school around 6pm.
Unless other arrangements are necessary on an individual basis, the girls will stay at the park until around 5:30pm. At which point, we will all meet together at the entrance. I will release girls to their parents or designated drivers at that time.
Parents: AAA has tickets for $22.99each. Google "Elitch Gardens Discount tickets" and AAA is near the top of the search results. You may be able to find other discounts as well, but that is better than the price we were given through Spiritfest of $26/ticket.
Non-competitor cheerleaders, bring your season pass. I think you all have one. I have tickets for the competitors. I will hand them out at the gate, so noone loses theirs.
Finally, this is a relatively low stress competition, as everyone is just beginning their season. It is meant to be fun. Let's enjoy the day, and show them what we've got.
GO MONARCH!!!

Cheer Picture Day
PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE TO VIEW AT THE LINK BELOW:
Cheer is scheduled for 4:15 on Thursday, August 26. So, everyone please bring your uniform to school tomorrow. We can discuss tonight which one we would like to wear for photos. We will practice until 4 on Thursday, then I will give everyone 15 minutes to change and primp for the photos. We will just finish the rest of practice in our uniforms.
Sorry for the late notice, I just received the email. I will see if I can pick up some forms today at the school and I can hand them out at mat rental tonight. Have your daughter bring the form and payment to practice on Thursday. They will take a team photo and individuals.
You can see some samples at the link below. YOUR PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE NOW TO VIEW AT THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE: (Just search for your child under youth/event photos.)

September in JV Cheer
Tuesdays and Thursdays from right after school until 5:30pm, unless you are competing in the stunt group division at Elitch Gardens then plan to stay until 6:30pm for this week and next week.
Wednesday nights at Xtreme Altitude form 8 to 9pm. Just FYI: some of the JV girls are taking the tucks to twists tumbling class with Kassie from 7 to 8pm at the same location (this is for anyone who already has backhandspring and roundoff-backhandspring skills). If there is enough interest, we can have another coach teach a backhandspring/etc class at the same time. This would be in addition to the Suns class on Monday nights. It is good to have more than one tumbling class each week, and it is convenient being right before mat rental because the girls are on time and warmed up. Let Kassie at Xtreme know if you are interested in taking that class.
Friday, Sept 3, at school: Wear Black "JV Cheerleading" jersey with shorts or jeans. Everything on your body needs to be gold, black or white.
Friday night, Sept 3, varsity football game at Spangenberg Field at Centaurus High School. All varsity home games are held there. The game starts at 7pm. All new cheerleaders need to attend this first game. You will sit with me in the parent section for the first half of the game so that I can teach you about football. Please arrive by 6:45pm. You can wear what you want, but you will need to have an activity pass or a ticket to get in. Other girls, varsity games are optional, but you are, of course, encouraged to attend to show school spirit. Please be on your best behaviour, as you are always representing Cheer, especially at school sporting events.
Saturday morning, Sept 4, JV football game in Broomfield: Game starts at 10am. Meet at Monarch High School at 8:45am. We will carpool over and back. Every girl needs to ride in the carpool to and from the game. We should return to MHS around 12:30 or 1pm. Wear new game uniform with no liner and black bows. If your black bow is broken, please bring it to practice tomorrow so I can fix it.
Bring Poms.
Monday, Labor Day Parade: Please arrive at the black top behind LMS at 8:45am. See blog post below.
We will not cheer for the JV game in Greeley on Wednesday, Sept 8. Instead we will cheer for the freshmen football game at home on the same day. The game starts at 4pm. Girls come straight from class to the grass on the north side of the building. We will warm up for the game. The game should be over before 6pm. NO mat rental that night. Wear new game uniforms to school. Bring poms and black bows.
Saturday Spirit Fest at Elitch Gardens, Sept 11: I will let everyone know as soon as I get the schedule. The park opens at 10am. The stunt group competition will be sometime in the early afternoon, I think. Then we will watch some of the competition. Stunt group competitors meet at MHS at 8am to run-through the stunt routines a few last times. Everyone else arrive at 9am. We will leave at 9:15am. I need drivers to and from Elitches.
