Congratulations!

What a great trip this past weekend was. I hope that you enjoyed it. To travel with such a great group of girls is amazing.

Congratulations on your great performance on Friday. Mr. McDaniel, Brian and I am very proud of you. You have grown individually and as a group and that is going to help you and our program in the future. I am looking forward to what is to come. Keep up the good work. You have had a great year!

Don't forget about rehearsal at 5:30 at ZEJH. See you there!

Congrats at Hoover!

Congratulations on a job well done!

Each competition this year had led to more and more improvement as a group and individually. I am very proud of the work and dedication that you showed last week, which led to an improved performance, no doubt.

It has been great to see each of you grow and improve along the way. Get a good rest during spring break so that we can come back and have a good run of rehearsals before championships.

You just never know what will happen at championships. It all depends on the day and the performance that comes from each group. I am very excited to see how things go and am looking forward to the trip with you guys. I hope that you are too!
