The End of the 2013 Football Season

The 2013 Falcon Football Season has came to a close last night against West Hills High School, marking the very last football game for the Senior Girls on the Varsity  Cheer Team. I would like to congratulate those senior girls for sticking through this bumpy football season with dedication, strength, and determination to keep this transitioning program alive. I know it has been difficult and stressful at times, but your endurance has prevailed to a strong finish this football season. Your position as the "Big Seniors" on the SRHS Spirit Squad has illustrated a legacy for the program to be fun, supportive, and loving to everyone has really made big strides for both Varsity and JV.

Additionally, to both Cheer Teams I have been very proud of your hard work wanting to learn and stick growing skills, cheers, and half time performances. Your presence at the Football game as Cheerleaders and individuals has really made this football season. It has especially been a treat to first hand witness the development of the girls on the JV team with members whom have never cheered before, never danced, never stunted, and were anxious to be around Varsity; and then to see them blossom so quickly from the summer through the Football Season to go onto mastering the advance dance, eagerness to stick more challenging stunts, build confidence, and make relationships with Varsity has been amazing. The huge improvements that the JV girls have made in these months is exceptional, and it only excites me even more to see how much they continue to grow this Cheer Season.

I know the Football Season was not easy for anyone, but I am proud of the growth the Spirit Squad has made. Great work Varsity and JV!The next order of business is Winter Rally, which I know will be a huge hit!

Winter Rally Practice Schedule before Thanksgiving Break

11/18, Monday, Fun Day Practice: Finish Pyramid, review Toe Pitch Dance, continue to move through routine with transitions
11/19, Tuesday: Toe Pitch formation- learning and performing the whole formation with stunts and dance
11/20, Wednesday: Set list if we are in the Football Finals, and then running through the whole routine from beginning to the end

This is the last week of practice before the Thanksgiving Break, it is very important that everyone is there everyday for the whole practice.

Winter Rally Test Day

On December 3rd, Tuesday, will be the Winter Rally Routine Test. Anyone who does not know the whole routine by that day, will be moved towards the back of the formations. Anyone who greatly improves will have opportunities to move up in the formations. If you are unsure about any sections of the routine, please see Coach Martinez, or a fellow Squad Member, to clarify so that you may prepare over the Thanksgiving Break. 

Practice Makes Perfect.

Veteren's Day Parade

I have just received information about the team's line-up position for the Parade. We are number 29 in the parade that starts on Harbor Drive downtown San Diego.

We will meet at 8:30 am at the Marshal Area from Harbor Drive South, at the Ash Street and Harbor Drive Intersection, and the line-up time for the Parade is 9:15 am. The email I had received made it very clear that there is NO PARKING at the Marshal Area, and they recommend that you take the trolley or a bus, or park at a trolley station and then take the trolley downtown and walk to the Marshal Area.

I will have permission slips for everyone on Monday.
