I am very proud of you ladies. As we move forward and prepare for our next competition, think about this; your success if powered by you. The amount of effort you put forth, the amount of attention you pay to details, the smile on your face, the postion of your hands and feet, the direction of your head, the spinning of your flag, the confidence with your rifle...... it is all powered by the person doing the work. Instruct, aid, advise, correct and clean we will do, but in the end you have to find what makes you want it. It might be the possibility of first place at Hoover, or maybe its the enjoyment of improving individually, perhaps it's the motivation of your peers, or the desire to NOT be in last place EVER, or the simple fact of success that drives you.

Whatever the driving factor is.... NOW is the time to put it into action. We cannot wait until the week of March 14th to decide that we want to be the best. For some it will take hard work in practice and pushing yourself and the ones around you. For some it will take practice at home to make sure that you understand what is being asked of you and for some of you it will be the need to work with a friend, someone you feel comfortable with that can give you tips and advice.

Realize that the power to be the best lies within each of you! We are only as good as the weakest member because in this sport EVERYONE has a very important job to do!

We have had a great start, let's have an outstanding finish!

Wow!

What a great accomplishment to take 2nd place on Saturday. The hardwork, sweat and almost, but not quite tears really paid off for you guys. To be promoted and do so well is an accomplishment that you should be proud of. I hope you are as proud of yourselves as everyone else is.

We will have regular practice at ZEJH tomorrow from 3-5. We will not be able to listen to the tapes until next week because Brian has them. We have a lot of cleaning left to do and lots of work before Hoover, so don't relax too much. Coming off of a good performance people are watching you and the competition level will be up at Hoover.

I am working on information for championships and will get that to you as soon as possible. I will also get you information about Hoover as soon as I have it.

See you tomorrow.

Performance times are finally here!

Ellis Emeralds 4:39
Dega Darlins Addition 5:13

We will pull each others floor again, however, the first two groups will be pretty much back to back. After the Emeralds perform, we will immediatly get things together for the Addition to perform. There will be a break before the Dega Darlins, so you may go visit family, eat, etc. We will meet back stage around 6:20 to pull their floor.

In your class the competition is: Bob jones and Pelham JV.

Oak Grove is coming quickly!

Only one rehearsal left before Oak Grove!

I am very proud of you ladies for the amount of work that you have put forth the past two rehearsals. It is hard to believe how much you have gotten done.

Don't forget the schedule for Saturday. I still don't have your exact performance time, but if I get it prior to Saturday I will let you know.

We still plan to arrive there at 3:00. We will meet at the THS bandroom at 11:30.
Reminder: Turn in your travel forms. (please review your handouts)

Practice on Friday will be as quick as you can get there after school until 5:00.... see you there!
