If You Were Not at the Calendar Photo Shoot...

..then you need to send me a head shot photo of yourself with the top of your uniform on, your hair down (not up), it can be styled however you'd like, and with performance make-up on. Try to take the photo with minimal background, I suggest outside with nothing but the sky behind you so they can look as closely to the photo shoot site as possible. You must send me this photo via email as a JPG file no later than Friday, August 30, 12 noon. This photo will be used in both the calendar and the football program. If you do not send it to me by the deadline, then you're photo will not be present at either events.

Also, the photographer is still collecting orders for the photo shoot. Please have your forms in soon so that all pictures can be processed at the same time.

Practice 8/27

We are running the mile today. We will still have practice at the softball field. We will meet at the track and start right away with the mile. Then we will walk back to the softball field for practice. While at the football do not talk with the football players or the Coaches. We we need to respectfully let them work uninterrupted. We will quickly do the mile and then immediately walk to the softball to be as discrete as possible during the football practice.

Photo Shoot Success!

Great job everybody!

The photo shoot went so smoothly that we finished early, and I know we got a lot of great shots.

Kick-Off and Practice

Excellent job everyone who was at the first Kick-off! I had heard wonderful things. Keep up the good work, I will be at Kick-off tomorrow and the practice tomorrow, along with the skills clinic, is still on as scheduled:)

Team Photo Shoot for Calendar

The team photo shoot is most like (about 90% sure) scheduled for Saturday, August 24 at 12:00 at a beach in La Jolla. Wear you uniform, your hair down, and performance make-up. Also, you will have an opportunity to order head shots from the photographer if you'd like. I will have final details soon, but please keep Saturday available. Because we are so far behind on the calendar, once the final date is set, there will be no changes to the photo shoot. If you are unable to attend the photo shoot it is unfortunate that you will not be in the cover photo, but we can still add your head shot to the calendar.

Please, keep up on the blog of more details, and the information will be on the group email on Wednesday.

Update about Banner Day

The Ladder Banner Day is now a Banner Day only. If you need to make a ladder please read the post titled "Ladder Day had been Rescheduled!".

The Banner Day is still August 26, however it will only be 2:30-5:00pm. Also, all captains remember that during this time it is the film day for the Cheer DVD. Please come in uniform, hair half-up and down, with the maroon bow, performance make-up, and white shoes.

Ladder Day has been Rescheduled!

Due to the ladders needing to have a place to dry over night, Mrs. Wittman has kindly offered her house to use as a space to paint and dry the Varsity Cheer Ladders.

On Thursday, August 22nd at 10 am at Courtney Wittman's house is the new date to make the ladders. Please bring newspaper for your ladder to stand on while it dries. This ladder making event is for New Varsity Members Only! If you are a returning member and you want to make a new ladder, then you will need to purchase your ladder, they cost about $28, all checks must be made to Sherri Wittman.

Anyone who needs  ladder, please tell your Captain by tomorrow afternoon so that they can give me a final count at practice. If you do not tell your captain by tomorrow afternoon, then you will be responsible to purchase and paint your ladder on your own time.
