Camp Update
Tomorrow the girls will be getting a packet of all camp information needed.
It is very important that all it is all read and understood by the parent and the cheerleader. Please have the waiver signed and brought to me on Monday prior to loading the bus.
I put in the last e-mail and blog that shorts are not mandatory for the car wash. I meant, shorts are not optional, they are absolutely MANDATORY. ALL girls must keep shorts on for the entire car wash. We must keep it classy ladies!
I will be handing out cheer shirts at the car wash so be sure to pick them up from me. You will get the size you ordered. I am really excited about the design! Also, you will be getting a drawstring backpack that is pretty awesome. As Ashley said last night, "We got swag." :-)
I am so very proud of these girls and actually looking forward to camp this year. Camp is always a bit difficult for me because it is so much work to get ready for such an important overnight field trip with 44 girls and one Blackhawk. This year I am excited about how this camp will be run with over 60 staff to help the girls and I just know they will come back with so many routines and cheers we will be so ready for a great year of cheer!
I will try to keep the blog and twitter updated at camp. I will buy internet if necessary at the hotel.

I believe you can see it even if you are not on twitter or following it.
I don't want to post the camp info now because I have my own personal information on their and obviously the girls whereabouts.
See you lovely ladies tomorrow! Be ready to work those camp routines and stunts!

Varsity Captains
Your 2011-2012 Varsity Captains are-
Solveig Danielson
Alex Lambrose
Brooke Reynolds
All three will share the responsibility equally, no one captain will be regarded as having a higher title than any other. This is the first time we will have 3 captains, and I know these three will do great!
They all have the ability to be great leaders and create a positive atmosphere for the program. I am proud to have coached them for the last 3 years and look forward to having one more year with them. This means I have to admit to myself that the Class of 2012 is graduating, and they are no longer freshmen. This will be the most difficult year for me because it will be my first class that I will have coached all 4 years. I could not be more proud of the Seniors, all of them, and know all of them will provide leadership and positive energy for their team and for JV as well.
Alex, Solveig, and Brooke- Congrats on making Captain! I could not ask for more talented, dedicated, and wonderful girls to lead their team this year!! LOVE YA!

Camp Shirts
I really appreciate the hard work the girls have been putting in these last few practices! They are looking great! We will definitely be using these routines next year after all of this hard work!
I have finalized the camp clothes. The 3 shirts will be $30. I have discussed how to handle paying for these with the Booster Treasurer Debbie. The Booster has agreed to use the money that is in each cheerleaders individual account to pay for the shirts. I must make it clear that the money being used was initially deposited in the account for cheer camp in the $500 deposited in may to pay for buses and extras for camp. This money will be used to the bus to and from camp and the shirts. There will be an extra balance required but the Booster agreed to pay for that with general funds. This way I do not need to collect extra from you now. If you have any questions please let me know! The shirts are really cool. I am quite proud of them actually!
I need to remind you of the Car wash next weekend. I will have extra tickets at practice tomorrow. Please pre-sell as many as possible to make this car wash a success!! I also wanted to remind you of our LQHS Cheer carwash dress code. Bathing suits are ok under clothing. Please wear cheer colored cheer shorts only! Navy, or Burgundy are fine. Shorts are NOT OPTIONAL. They may wear school colored shirts, and ofter wear just their bathing suit top at some point since it is hot, but please make sure they are FULL COVERAGE. I always tell the girls to "keep it classy.":-)
I hope to see you all soon! Take care... and stay cool!

GIRLS READ ASAP
Hello amazingly talented and beautiful Cheerleaders!
I just want EVERYONE to know what was said at practice yesterday:
If you are absent, for even 1 day, you need to make up what you missed by calling a teammate and learning the material BEFORE you get to the next practice. If you don't and we see this, the entire team will condition for the 2 hour practice. We don't want to do that, we would rather work on the dance, and I know you don't want that either so please BE PREPARED! It is too hard to reteach everyone what they missed.
NO MORE BOOITY SHORTS! Your CHEER SHORTS need to be loose and semi-baggy. If they look like spandex you will not be allowed to practice, and yoiu need bigger ones before camp. No more spankies to practice, or those Nike shorts that look like spankies. Cheer shorts only. As in the ones we wear to camp. T-shirts or full coverage tank tops only. No spaghetti straps, and please wear a sports bra. This dress code is mandatory, not optional. If you defy it, be prepared to sit out of practice. This is a part of being on the team and being professional looking at all times. Clothing is not optional on this team ;-)
Anyone who has had perfect attendance each month will be entered into a drawing to win an iTunes gift card. I think this is a way to encourage attendance and reward those who come every practice. Also all of those with perfect attendance each month will get 2 merits for the month.
I am very proud of all of the work you have done and the commitment you have shown so far. Please remember to practice your dance every day, and to jump every day as well. We need to be a dedicated team and show this in every performance and at every game and event. Laziness will not be tolerated. The only way to look as professional and talented as I know you are is to practice and dedicate yourself to the team and to bettering your skills.
I am going to meet with the camp clothing designer soon. You will be getting 3-4 shirts, depending on the deal I get. I would like you to come up with some positive words you think should be our team motto for the year. (examples- dedicated, determined...) I want to incorporate these on your clothes so you remember to stay positive all year long right from the beginning.
Remember to practice and... LOVE YA!!!

Smith's Back!
I am so pleased with our team this year. Everyone is really working hard at practice, despite it being pleasantly warm out. Our teams have their camp dances coming along nicely, thanks to Staci and Meaghan who are really re-working the choreography to make them impressive. We should be able to perform these for net year as well. I would love to have a time to showcase these to parents, provided we have time before camp. I will keep you posted!
A lot of people are absent lately, which is expected since it is Summer Vacation! Please keep me posted well before you plan on missing practice so I know. An unexcused absence is 10 demerits. That means I did not get, or do not have, and e-mail from a parent in my inbox. I write them down on my calendar as they happen.
If you miss practice it is your responsibility to get caught up on the dance and formations. We do not have time at practice to re-teach.
Thank you all for understanding my leaving last week. I learned so much at the conference and was able to meet educators from all over the country! You would be surprised to know that LQ is nationally known as a Model school. Other schools try to replicate what we do to achieve our success!
Personally, I think the cheerleaders are by far the best at LQHS- but I may be a bit biased!
Nevertheless, I am home. I seem to have brought back the humidity with me. It was over 90% humidity in Nashville! I think I will add "y'all" and "yontoo" (you want to) to my everyday language and wear my cowboy boots often. I can't wait to wear them to games just to embarrass the girls ;-)
Take care, drink lots of water, and stay cool!!
Girls- LOVE YA!
