Week of Nov 7 - Nov 16

Hi, families!  Another Wednesday post on a Thursday...

Our go-time for this upcoming Saturday has been moved to one hour later.  Therefore, you don't need to be at the event center until 8:45.  Please come ready to go as discussed in the previous post.  Awards will now occur at noon.  We should wrap up by around 12:30. 

Friday we will leave for the volleyball tournament at 11:30 am and will leave either at 4:15 or 5pm, depending on when the matches begin/end.  We ordered Subway for dinner during the transition time between volleyball and football, so you will get the chance to eat between events!

Next week - we have 2 competitions, Leagues and Mile Hi Regionals.

Here is the upcoming schedule, also on the calendar:

Monday, Nov 11:  NO PEAK.  We will have practice at CT from 3 - 5:15.  JV has scheduled mat time at peak.  We will take the Wednesday tumbling time slot. 
Tuesday:  LEAGUES.  Arrive at EHS at 4:30 pm - parents, doors open at 5pm.  We will compete at 6:59pm, right before awards and the parade of athletes.  Wear sparkle CT/new guy's uniforms, white competition bows, blue spanks. 
Wednesday:  Practice 3:30  - 5 AT PEAK.  NOTE THE LOCATION CHANGE!!!!!  Please organize your carpools sooner rather than later! 
Thursday:  Practice 3 - 5:30
Friday:  Game?  Playoffs?  If not, practice 3 - 5:30 in the cafeteria.
Saturday:  Mile Hi regionals at Denver Coliseum.  This competition is HUGE.  Standby for mat times and arrival times, I should know on Monday.
Sunday:  NO ATHLETE CONTACT.

Two announcements: 

Parents interested in a "bedazzled" CT Cheer shirt (same design as the cheer bag) we will be taking an order for those shortly.  They will have your son or daughter's name on the back along with who you are (ie, Caressa's Mom)  Dads or moms who want non-bedazzled shirts, we can arrange that, too.  Standby for cost. 

Also, if your cheer's cheer bag has faced excessive wear and tear, please take a photo of the damage and email it to trailvarsitycheer@gmail.com so we can get a replacement ordered. 

I should have final tumble payments ready to go for you by Monday. 

If we make the decision to go to nationals, we will have an informational meeting sometime in the next two weeks.  The decision will be made Friday (as in, tomorrow!) as to whether or not we are going to go! 

I think that's all for the next week or so!  As always, call with questions. 

Week of Nov 4 - Nov 10th

Bid for Nationals?  Check!

We did great at the comp on Saturday, but we will definitely be making some changes that will help our scores in upcoming competitions.  Get ready for a packed week!

Tuesday:  Practice in the gym 3 - 5:15
Wednesday:  Practice either at Fox Ridge or in CT Cafeteria (TBD) 3 - 5:15 with Unified Banquet at 6 pm.  All cheers (as mentioned in previous blog posts) are expected to attend.  The cheer program is paying for the cheers to attend.  Cheers who had a unified partner, plan on saying a few words about your unified partner.  All other cheers show up to support!  
Thursday:  Practice: 4:30 - 6:30 with comp film review beginning at 3:45 in Room 152.
Friday:  Volleyball State tournament (during the day) and football playoff game in the evening - location and time TBD, but I'm reasonably assured it's another home game.  Plan on arriving at the location at 6:15.  We will make determinations on uniforms on Thursday pending the weather forecast.  I caught word that the volleyball team would like us to attend the state meet on Friday during the day, but haven't completely confirmed this yet through athletics.  For now, to be safe, let's get the paperwork rolling to ride the Spirit Bus.  If you have any reason why you cheer should be in school rather than at the game (ie, an exam or an AP class that can't be missed) , please contact me ASAP.  Also, parents will be receiving (MORE) waivers for this Saturday and Mile Hi.  I thought we could send photocopies of the ones from Pueblo, but they must be originals.

Saturday!  Broncos Classic at Douglas County Event Center  located at:

Douglas County Events Center 500 Fairgrounds Dr. Castle Rock, CO 80104.

  Our warm up is at 8:45 AM and our current scheduled competition time is at 9:05am.  Please be at the competition NO LATER than 8 AM and DO NOT BE LATE!  Give yourself time to get down to the location and get in the door.  Wear your sparkle whites (guys wear new uniform, as well) with white comp bow.  Navy Spanks for the girls.

Upcoming for next week:
Leagues:  4:30 pm at Eaglecrest on Tuesday, Nov 11.  Floor time will be updated on Wednesday.
Mile Hi Regionals:  Saturday, Nov 16th at Denver Coliseum - no floor times yet.
Spirit for Change:  Satuday, Nov 23rd at Rock Canyon High School - no floor times yet.
State:  Friday, December 6th at the Denver Coliseum - no floor times yet.

I think this covers us for the rest of this week.  Another update to come on Wednesday at the usual time.
