Cheer Corps - Home Page

Please remember that tickets not sold are due today, Thursday Sept.  2nd!!!!!!!!  Thanks

We have 1.5 months left to pull these routines together before our showcase.  Your child is not to be absent.  Vacations are over and we are now pushing hard to be ready.  We will not excuse a cheerleader from practice for any reason other than listed in the booklet given at the beginning of the year.  THis was signed by all parents.  Please mark all competition dates, and showcase is a competition date and is mandatory for all competiting cheerleaders.  It was put on the schedule on May so there would be no conflicts.  Make arrangements for your child to be at showcase/dress rehearsal, If you can not be here yourself.  THis is important to prepare for the next weekend's 1st official competition.  This is mandatory.  This is the teams first official performance together, and one person out will cause the routine not to hit completely.  Thanks for understanding and being a part of cheercorps.

1.  If you need bloomers, please see Tammy this week to place your order.  I am ordering bloomers next week.

2.  Routines are coming along.  We are in the last stages.  Pyramid is the hardest thing to get through.  Everyone is connected and move together.  It's an area that we expect teammates to pay attention and listen.  It can be dangerous if they are not focused.  Also, it is physically hard holding the pyramid as we learn it.  As they get better and learn the counts, then the pyramid will become easier.  We push hard this time of the season.  We need to be running the routines full out in a few weeks to be ready for competitions.  These practices will be some of the hardest all year.

3.  We may add extra practices toward the middle of Sept for Tiny's and mini's and both Youth Teams.  I will have that schedule to you after labor day.

4.  We will not be opened for classes on Labor Day.

5.  Tiny's uniforms are in.  I will send them home tomorrow.  Uniform balances must be paid in full before uniform goes home.

6.  There is a uniform that is either mini or youth team size.  It was left a few months ago in the store area.  Somebody is missing one.  Please check your closets again to make sure you have your uniform. 

7.  We are sending music home with each cheerleader.  All team members need to learn their own music, and practice dances at home.  This really helps with the routine.

8.  Thanks for supporting CheerCorps, we are lucky to have all of you be a part of the program.

1.  Youth 1 and Senior 2 team practices will be canceled on Tuesday August 17th due to Open House conflicts.  We will make this practice up on Wed.  Oct 20th, the week prior to our showcase(dress Rehersal).  This is Youth 1 and Senior 2 teams only.  We will still have regular scheduled practices for mini's and youth 2.

2.  CCPA Statements should be in your hands by Friday of this week, August 22nd.

3.  Anyone needing bloomers for their uniform please let me know this week.  I am going to place an order soon.  We are using the same bloomers as last year.  If yours still work, you don't need to buy a new pair.

4.  Routines are coming together and all 8count sheets have been submitted for music.  Some routine music is done and is very good!  We will make discs when we get in all music. 

1.  All sponsorships should be turned into CheerCorps by Aug. 1st.

2.  CCPA competition statements will go home the beginning of August.

3.  There is a mini team member who does not have a uniform.  It was left a month ago in the lobby.  Please check your child's uniform to see if it is theirs. 

4.  We are almost ready to send in 8count sheets for our music.  This is a tedious process but teams have been working hard to get the "skeleton" of their routines.  Just a reminder to parents, this is a competitive sport, and your child may have a position in the routine that may change due to needs of the team.  Allison and I went over this in parent meeting and just want to give a reminder of this as we get heavy into the competitive season. 

5.  Last season's Youth 2, International champions, have the opportunity to buy a bookbag with our logo and 2010 All-Levels International Grand Champions embroidered on the book bag.  There is a sample of the bookbag at the table.  It is a full size bag, and you can get either camo or black.  Order forms will be at the table and we will take orders through Aug. 3rd.

6.  Just a reminder, we only allow 4 vacation days or two weeks vacation during the summer to competitive members and you must sign the vacation sheet if you are going to be absent.  Parents are also to call if your child is going to be late or absent due to illness.  Please communicate with us.  We also expect cheerleaders to be at practices even if they do not feel good or they are hurt.  They can mark their spots and do what they can.  There must be a doctors note if a child is to be excused out of practices for a medical reason.

7.  Allison and I are impressed with the effort the teams are putting into working the routines.  Thanks to all the parents who make it possible for the cheerleaders.
