Keep up the hard work and please answer this question...I must have a response by 9:00 p.m. tonight...if it is later you will be doing 2 laps tomorrow!!! HERE IS YOUR QUESTION..

WHO SAID THE LAST QUOTE I GAVE YOU ON THE POST BELOW THIS ONE??

...we have an AWESOME team...

Congrats TEAM...I am very impressed with how well you have stepped up and really worked your tails off...NOW is the start of the challenging and rewarding period (it is always rewarding however)...COMPETITION...the reason we are a sport:) I am very proud of EVERY SINGLE girl on this team and I could not ask for a better team...I think the world of all of you!!! I just want to address some things:

• If you are an alternate of a routine YOU MUST give a 150% at all times. I expect you to know the dance forward and backwards. If you are an alternate you will spread out at the sides of the floor and you must perform at all times!! Never forget that you are apart of this team and you are VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!! xoxo

• If you have made a competition routine you are EXPECTED to know the routine forwards and backwards and you MUST give a 150% at all times. If you are having difficulties with technique, movements, etc YOU MUST WORK WITH SOMEBODY and get it down:) xoxo

The answer is YES...ALL OF YOUR NAMES ARE ON KICK & MILITARY. WITH THAT COMES GREAT GREAT GREAT RESPONSIBILITY!! HOW COOL WILL IT BE WHEN WE MARCH KICK AND MILITARY WITH OUR ENTIRE TEAM OF 17???? It will be ridiculous, but with that comes a LOT a LOT of hard work and dedication. You must work on your own, you must study our film (videos on you-tube) of YOURSELF!! And you have to remember what it states in the constitution...please read your constitution I am just pulling a few examples from the lists

1. Members of competition routines will be chosen by these standards:

   A. Knowledge

   B. Sharpness

   C. Kicks and Splits

   D. Headstands

   E. Showmanship

   F. Absences and Tardies

   G. ATTITUDE

   H. Technique

2. Girls are expected to perform at all times!!
3. Coaches have full rights to replace a girl in any routine(s) if the coach feels she is not putting forth 100% effort and contributing fully to the team. APPLIES TO TO #1 OF THIS LIST...
   
4. You will PERFORM how you PRACTICE.
5. Each girl must smile and have showmanship during performances and practice or coaches have the right to pull her from the next performance.

I know that we have greatness on this team...now really prove it to everybody!! Work your tails off at every practice...I know that you are tired, sore, etc. etc...but you COMMITTED to this team and above all you COMMITTED to yourself . You are the greatest!!! LET'S DO THIS!!

You know me and my youtube motivation haha...this is a great little quote!! I want you to more focus on these words..."Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth".

And one of my FAVORITE SONGS EVER...haha it looks as if I am on a boxing kick:)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgcovIu3k9o&ob=av3e

and the last and final one:) haha you know you love this!!
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee".

...remember...

Life, school, & drill is starting to go full swing! Remember to be patient and always stay positive! Find something that you can do that will relieve some of the stressors:) You are an amazing group of young ladies and I am so excited to watch you grow and learn! Always remember that I am by your side and ALWAYS REMEMBER to be by each others!!

"Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can
never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one
(or 17)
person who will stand by you no matter what".

Have a great practice with Jenni...ROCK it in Hip Hop.
Let me know you got this by sending one thing that you will do relieve STRESS:)

Mandy put this into words incredibly...she said if you only give 70% or 80% at practice when you perform you will only be giving 10% more...which neither of those equals 100%...We must all give 100% during practice at all times!! We can do this Ladies....you rock the house!!!
