...my beautiful girls...

Oh...how I have missed you all so very much!! I wanted to pass on the information for our sweet Angel, Dylan. His viewing is tomorrow (Friday) from 6-9pm at the Ogden West Stake Center 2200 S. 4300 W. West Haven, Utah. It is about an hour from my house to get there. Brandon and I will be arriving there right at 6:00 p.m. (maybe even a little earlier) because it will be packed! I know that Mand would love to see you girlies as would I. Here is the family blog for Dyl http://dylandshaw.blogspot.com/ and his obituary http://obitsutah.com/obituary/7729/dylan-d-shaw.htm

I hope that you are doing well and that you are healthy and so so happy!! This team...this incredibly special team will never forget what that little boy taught us! We will FOREVER be Doin' 4 Dylan!!! Love you to the moon & back SilverLine!!

Clear Eyes...Full Hearts...Can't Lose

It has been awhile, but as I promised...I am not going anywhere. So that means that you will randomly get my crazy antics every once in a while:) Not sure why I never watched this show (considering it is one of my kinds of shows), but I started watching it the day I told you cute amazing girls that I wouldn't be coaching. This show has the best line in the WORLD...why didn't we think of it ha ha?? Clear Eyes...Full Hearts...Can't Lose.

Well this line applies to all of us. We are all in a new chapter of life; Graduation, College, New Team, New School Year, New Boyfriends, New Friends, New Coach, and everything in between!! And if we do things in our life with clear eyes and full hearts with loads and loads of love...we will never lose!! I believe in every single one of you, I know that you whatever you chose to do you are going to do it AMAZINGLY!! You are going to be some incredibly shining stars...don't lose touch with me!! I will plan a fun get together this summer especially before our cutest GRADUATED seniors go off into the amazing World!!

One more thing...watch this clip just for old times sake:)

...I had the time of my life...

I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild

We were the kings and the queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives
Would never be the same

You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age

Long live the walls we crashed through
While the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered

I can't believe that we are gearing up for our YEAR END SHOW AND NATIONALS!!! So here is the info for Tuesday:) Now remember we are practicing READY TO DANCE at 6:30 a.m. tomorrow (MONDAY) we are NOT practicing Tuesday morning but I need to see you READY (HAIR, EYE LASHES, MAKE-UP) 4:00 p.m. in the GYM Tuesday afternoon. Please wear the following on Tuesday:

• Warm-Ups
• SL Design Shirt w/UNSTOPPABLE on the back.

Please make sure that you pack your costumes and quadruple check them:) Follow your regular competition costume check-off, but remember what you wear for Intro dance: Costume you wore for the original 1/2 time performance of camp dance, fish nets, black shoes, and your Military hair piece.

**SENIORS remember you are keeping your Unitard on and adding some of YOU with it**

...business & reflection...

Hello Girls!!

Oh my goodness...we are going to NATIONALS!! Can you believe it? We are going to KILL IT and I am so excited that it will be an amazing ending to our incredible year!! I am asking you this because I know you all...very well!! PLEASE PRACTICE ALL OF YOUR ROUTINES...THINK ABOUT HOW YOU FELT EVEN THE WEEK OF STATE GETTING THROUGH YOUR ROUTINES AND WE HAVEN'T DANCED TOGETHER SINCE FEB. 5....and we haven't done Officers and Hip Hop for awhile AND I sped everything up. So please please practice for all of our sakes:) Make sure that all of your costumes are in order and that you are just READY because once we start practicing we are on and I want you all to enjoy the rest of this year together.

Reflection Time:

I am extremely emotional at this time. I have so many fe

elings and memories that I am kind of stuck in this self

ish space of really not wanting this year to end. I hope that you all have had such an amazing experience and I hope that you know that I will do anything for any of you at any time of your life. This program has been made to establish respect and a

competitive spirit, but we have developed a program that is centered around love, respect, and sisterhood. I can promise you this...you can't find that in a lot of programs!! And it is because of all of YOU!! Drill Team is so much more than dancing...I look back on my experience of Drill Team and I realize every single day some kind of lesson that I learned while being on it. I can't go through a day without thinking about all of you and lately I shed a few tears along with it. This experience is a journey; we have our goods and we have our bads and we have moments like at Region when we all came together. I will never forget hearing you girls say this:

I am so proud of each and every one of you and I love having the opportunity to spend time with you and watch you grow into such beautiful dancers. BUT my most favorite this is being able to spend time with you, watching you struggle, watching you succeed, and most of all watching you turn into the most beautiful girls inside and out. I am so lucky to have this job and have the opportunity that I do to spend with you!! Please continue to be the beacons of light at your school and SHINE on!!! Just know we are amazing and one of a kind!!!

Please let me know you got this by telling me that you will practice every dance?:)

You guys were beautiful yesterday...Don't forget what it feels like to go in and accomplish a goal that you want!! Always remember to be gracious, kind, and above all PROUD OF YOURSELF!!

"if we should win, let it be by the code, with our faith and our honor held high"

I am pretty excited to see what the next few weeks holds for your guys, but I want you to remember that other teams are going to be working very hard as well. This is a HARD and TOUGH region and it is going to be very close!! I have every bit of faith in you...I BELIEVE in us:)

Keep up the FIGHT ladies and don't back down...ever. And that goes for everything that you want out of this life. I hope yesterday was an ah-ha moment for you in which you could actually feel the power of productive practice and team work, because believe me if you didn't have either of those yesterday wouldn't have gone the way it did!!

SILVERLINE YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE...and I am pretty sure that you felt like a lightening bolt yesterday:

"Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow

And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night"

Remember you need to rest today and tomorrow!! NO PRACTICE Monday, but I will see you bright and early Tuesday!! 4 practices until Murray and 8 practices until Region! YOU CAN DO THIS YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Let me know you read this xoxo

...this week...

Hello Ladies!!

Welcome back to School and especially DRILL!! The countdown is beginning and it is a BRAND NEW YEAR...lets start it out fresh, kind, and ready to succeed. I am so excited to really start competing. Remember the next 3 weeks are very busy, but we can do it!! Stay on top of EVERYTHING...eat right, sleep, drink water, wash your hands, and take your vitamins.

This week we will be doing a lot of cleaning. Tomorrow with Jenni you will go over dance and will be running everything:) Work hard...and get back into the drill mentality. See you at 6:00 a.m. ready to go.

You will be performing Dance this Thursday. Everyone must be there. Those in dance come READY at 6:30 p.m. and you may leave after the halftime.

Clearfield this SATURDAY. Make sure that you have everything because we will not be by our home. Please be to the school PROMPTLY at 5:55 a.m. and we will leave on the bus right at 6:00 A.M. YOU MAY SLEEP ON THE BUS. You don't have to come ready, but if you want to that is GREAT:) Make sure you look to the past competition post as to what you need...you also need to bring the following:

• Spray Bottle for Hair
• Although we can't have food in the room, make sure you pack some snacks GOOD SNACKS not junk food. Especially some kind of breakfast!! We will probably eat Lunch after Military because all of our other routines are about an hour or a little over an hour a part. SO BRING FOOD...but hide it!!
• EASY SLIP on shoes that you can put on over your dance shoes as we go over to the gym.
• Amazing Attitudes!!!

You will be riding the bus back to JDCHS after the competition. Remember we are a KIND TEAM...never act like we are better than anyone else!!!

Tell everyone the following times for Clearfield:
