- News from the administration
- Administration is extremely happy with the team - lot's of compliments from the faculty and staff all around
- Regarding the decision not to dance at the 10/16/09 Game
- First, while were originally offered the opportunity to dance during half-time, it was retracted when the opposing team's band changed their plans. They originally asked to perform before the game and then decided they wanted to perform during the half.
- Second, the turf was very wet and both coaches decided it was not safe for the girls to dance on the turf. This was further discussed during the board meeting and the parents present agreed that given the type of shoes the girls wear (jazz shoes) slipping and/or twisting and ankle or knee could be very possible with the wet turf.
-
Hip Hop Apparel
- We are working with Amanda on putting together the Hip Hop costumes now. Per Amanda, the team will most likely not be ready to perform their Hip Hop routine for the Central Gwinnett Competition, but we will try to the costumes in time just in case the team is.
I haven't had an opportunity to add all of these dates to the website calendar. I will do it when I get a minute. Please be sure to keep this list handy and mark your calendars accordingly.
