Texas State Cheer Clinic Information

I am very excited about our trip to Cheer at a Texas State football game.  You already filled out permission slips for the district but attached are UCA waiver forms for those conducting the clinic.  Both the girls and adults with a “Coach” ticket will need to fill out the waivers.

I need each girls t-shirt size plus a t-shirt size for adults who are paying for “coach” tickets.  Please reply to this email with sizes.

We will wear our practice uniforms with bows, shoes, and socks for the clinic portion.  For the game, we will change into the t-shirts they give us with black bottoms (shorts, leggings, or the black warm up pants depending on the weather) plus our bows, shoes, and socks.  Girls will need to bring their cheer bag and their poms.

Jos will wear her Magic the Mustang costume during the game.

We learned half of the routine yesterday at practice.  We will need to add a practice to learn the second half.  So, 7^th grade will practice after school on November 8, and 8^th grade will practice before school on November 9.  If your daughter will not be going to Texas State, she will not need to attend that practice. 

Girls should work on learning and practicing the routine at home using the youtube links on this email and on the Cheer Tryout 2016 Playlist on my youtube channel (MFMS Multimedia).  I have attached the music to this email and it is also on the Cheer Music Google Folder:  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-nTUfhbJXYfdmhxRXpYTnF1MDQ?usp=sharing

Please send your final payments for the clinic ASAP!  Most of you owe $20.  If you are not sure how much you owe, I will have my spreadsheet with me at the game tonight.

The pep rally for next week was cancelled by Mr. Barr.

Please see the notes below from the clinic for more detailed times.

Phew! That was a lot.  If you are still reading, thank you and have an awesome day!
