Competition Routines...

Please REMEMBER - as we are coming upon competition season and competition preparation, that ALL routines that are competed are subject to audition! Please REMEMBER that you were aware of this and understood this before auditioning to become a member of Rockettes.....or signing for your daughter to become a member of Rockettes. We compete as a varsity sport. Some dancers will be in every routine, and some may not make any. This does happen. We are hoping to have at least one routine that the whole team will compete in. That may or may not happen. We will see how things work out.

We are so excited and can't wait to get to work! This year is going to be fabulous!!!!

Hello......Enjoyed Your Break ? :)

Please make sure you read through the blog. Several things have been overlooked this year that were posted on the blog :) Thanks and Hugs!

I am a little slow here, although.....I did post on facebook :)

I just wanted to congratulate everyone on their personal and team accomplishments this year. I have seen so much growth from all of you in so many different ways. Drill Team can be a tough business......but so satisfying knowing you were involved in something bigger than yourself and you gave it your all......physically and emotionally.....Anything worth doing involves sacrifice and dedication! Congrats!

I am especially proud of our Sportsmanship Award :) What a great moment!

-You can't always control the circumstances in your life, but you can control your reaction to them.-

What a great year!

I will be posting the date for the banquet very soon......and no, Dani has not had her baby yet...poor girl! They will start her on Friday if she doesn't have her by then :) So exciting!

Remember....Practice after school today is only until 4:30 P.M......we have several girls that won't be there.

HALF TIMES

We will be performing Dance for half time on Feb. 2......

For Feb. 11.....We will have a couple of soloists perform.....the best way to do this will be by the highest 2 or 3 placing solos during the competition season, as well as availability of dancers....we have several Rockettes that will be missing practices during the week due to State Wrestling and Vacations, etc. It will make it difficult to do any team routines.

Region, Etc...... CONGRATS!

Everyone needs to give their all every second of every practice.....feed off of each other and push for each other. No matter who is where in the routines......every team member's energy and vibe contributes......NOW IS THE TIME....DOING YOUR BEST IN THIS MOMENT PUTS YOU IN THE BEST PLACE FOR THE NEXT MOMENT
