Weekly Update 3/13

Parents and Students,

Congratulations on another great weekend!! I am so proud of each of you and your efforts this season! We have two weeks left, so lets push hard and end on a great note! Here is this weeks schedule.

Mon: 6-7:45am AFJH New Gym

Wed: 6-7:45am AFJH New Gym

3:30-5:30 AFHS North Gym

*optional* Friday 4-7pm AFHS North Gym

Now, let me expand on that optional Friday evening. We have two wonderful Varsity Guard girls that are running a clinic that will imitate how field show rehearsals will go. This will be a great learning experience for everyone. Everyone is invited, not just our eighth graders. Please come! Some fun people may be there ;) 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Thank you for everything you do!!

Saturday's Competition @ Northridge

Parents and Students,

Thank you for your patience as I have gotten all of this information put together for Saturday! Here it is!

Call Time: 10:30am FULL hair and makeup

Bus Leaves AF: 10:45am

Arrival at Northridge: Approx. 12-12:30

Performance time: 2:35pm

Awards: 5:40pm

Bus Leaves Northridge: 6:50pm

Arrival at AF: Approx. 8:30pm

This is going to be a long day, so I would suggest packing healthy snacks and water for the bus ride. I promise you will want it! As well as your uniform in a garment bag, makeup for touch-ups, hairspray, bobby pins, etc. Since we are taking a bus, your equipment will go underneath the bus, so your flag MUST be in a flag bag. You should have one by now, if not, you need to find someone who will let you share. I would also suggest taking your own black (if your a rifle, also white) electrical tape for any adjustments that may need to be made to your equipment. 

Once we finish performing and awards are over, you may go home with your parents/legal guardian if you so desire, but it must be with YOUR parents/legal guardian and no one else. We often get asked if someone can ride home with their friends parents or have their siblings drive them home, I'm sorry, but we cannot.

If you so desire to go home with your parents, I need to see you leave with them, and you need to see me check your name off of the list for the bus ride home to make sure that I don't panic when I call your name for role on the bus. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask! See you bright and early!

Weekly Update 3/6

Parents and Students,

I am so incredibly proud of everyone and all of the hard that they have been putting into this show! Let's keep working hard and push hard for the next three weeks. Here is this weeks schedule!

Mon: NO GUARD

Wed:6-7:45am AFJH New Gym

3:30-6pm AFHS North Gym

Saturday: Call Time 10:30 am @ AFHS

Please note the time change on Wednesdays afternoon rehearsal. Because we are winding down to the end of our season and missing a Monday morning, I don't want to miss out on the rehearsal time. Another reminder that Wednesday afternoon is mandatory because Saturday is a performance. Please work things around that schedule. 

Saturday, you need to come in full hair and makeup. We are taking a bus to the competition and it is pulling out of the high school at 10:45. We will leave you if you are not there on time and you will have to find a way to get to Northridge for the competition. Missing the bus will not excuse you. We have a fairly long drive ahead of us so I would suggest bringing a lunch with you to eat on the way up there. Please also bring your makeup and some hairspray to touch up when we get there. I don't yet know what time we will be performing so I will send a little bit more detailed e-mail hopefully tomorrow.

Great job again this weekend! Here is the video, please watch it three times before Wednesday and find three things that you did well along with three things that you could work on. Along with the picture that some of you wanted me to send to you! Keep up the great work!
