Hello, Cheer families!
I'm updating a day early since I have some new information regarding this weekend's competition as well as a potential last minute addition to the schedule.
It appears there may be some confusion regarding Nationals. We got the bid for both the Medium Varsity division AND Gameday division. We will compete at Nationals in BOTH divisions - we took first last weekend in Gameday! ALL cheers will see the competition floor at Nationals, at a minimum in the GameDay division. There WILL be fundraising opportunities for Nationals - our biggest one being the website ads, which just got finalized yesterday. Also, running concessions at JV State will be another big moneymaker for us. Again, all fundraising for Nationals that we do as a team will go in to the kitty to reduce the overall cost of attending and will reduce our monthly installments as outlined in the PowerPoint presented at the meeting on Oct 23 (I've attached a link here: Nationals Meeting Presentation ). If you worked or are working Bronco games, those will apply to your nationals bill individually. Some have already worked enough Bronco games to pay for the trip entirely. If you "over-fundraise" as an individual for Nationals, that money will be credited to your individual account.
Just a reminder that my phone number for all business matters concerning cheerleading is 720-326-7419. If, for some reason, you have any other phone number besides the one listed above, please erase it. I will not return phone calls or texts made to my private phone. Thanks for understanding.
Volleyball made the State Tournament! They play Friday and Saturday. Usually the team plays during the day, and we take the spirit bus from school to go and support. This year, CT has one of the later games on Friday and it's vs Grandview, which is a HUGE game. POMS and Cheer will go to the Coliseum on Friday evening to cheer the game. We don't know how late it will go or necessarily when it will start - all matches run on one court, and each match varies in length. There is no way to tell what time we will play, especially since the seven matches prior add in a lot of time variation (one game could be done in 3, and the next could play all 5, etc. Compound that by 7 matches, and it's anyone's guess as to which time we will play - I'm going to put us down for a 5pm arrival, and we'll go from there - I will be getting updates from the AD as the day progresses so we can nail down a better time where we won't have to wait long for our match to begin). They are working on getting a spirit bus, but it's not looking promising as availability is tight. We will be done as soon as the match has ended. We will NOT cheer on Saturday at the Volleyball game as we are competing ourselves.
The schedule for this Saturday is up, and it's a tough one! Arrive at Douglas County High School no later than 3pm for a 4pm check-in time. Performance time for parents is at 4:50pm. We should be done with the competition at around 6pm. Monday is League. We perform FIRST at 6pm. Cheers please plan to arrive at Eaglecrest at 4pm.
