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!!!
