Wow! What a whirlwind of a week you have had. It has been great watching you learn and grow this week, as well as except challenge after challenge with a smile on your face and with a great attitude. :) I am so proud of your first performance and you should be too. Congratulations on 1st place. You had a great score for your first time out. I am also VERY excited about the way you conducted yourselves at the competition. If I did not know I would not have guessed that it was your first performance. I look forward to Hoover on February 27th. Lots of work to do by then, but with your work ethic we will get it done. And, what a great fan base we had with us. It is so wonderful to have OUR parents yelling in the stands!

We will Have practice on Monday at ZEJH from 3:00-5:00. We will listen to judges tapes and watch the video, as well as begin to clean and fix some things. See you then!

Dega Darlins: 1st place

Dega Addition: 2nd Place

Ellis Emeralds: 1st place

Oak Grove Competition week!

Hi Ladies!

Be sure that you keep up with the schedule for this week! We are busy, busy with trying to finish the show and get everything done we need to do. Please be sure that you are practicing at home. At this point everyone should have the song or should have brought me a C.D to make you a copy. However, if not then you need to do so ASAP. We cannot move ahead if we are constantly re-teaching. Please do your homework! Practices will be at ZEJH unless told otherwise.

Your first performance of the season is coming up on Saturday. Your performance time is 2:05 if you would like to invite people to come and see you perform. I know that you will do amazing, I just also know that we have a lot to do.

ALL practices are important, however, practice on Monday and Thursday is VITAL. Please come ready to work. We have a lot to add and perfect before Saturday, but you guys are more than capable. I look forward to a GREAT week!

Oh yeah... and each of you should be trying out for honorband. Tryouts are on Tuesday, the 26th! Of course, you have a competition on the day of honorband, but this would be a great way for you to see how you are doing in the BIG scheme of things. Tryouts are the scales we have been practicing in class and sightreading. Sign up with Ms. Todd on Monday! It is $7.00 to audition.

Queen of Hearts pageant is something you might be interested in as well.
If you would like to participate in the pageant forms are due on the 27th. (the form may have said the 22nd, but they have extended it due to a misprint)

See you Monday.

Hi Ladies.

Your first performance is in just two weeks. We have a lot going on and a lot left to do. Be sure that you are at rehearsals and that you are practicing at home.

Just a reminder that you have practice on Monday, January 18, 2010, at ZEJH from 3:00-6:00pm.

The week of Oak Grove Competition we will have more rehearsals than normal so that we can be as prepared as possible for the first event. We will have rehearsal on Monday, January 25, 2010, afterschool until 5:30. Thursday, January 28, 2010 after school until 5:30. Friday after school until 5:00 for final preparations and as many full runs as possible. (in uniform)

I also encourage each of you to try-out for Talladega County honorband tryouts on the 26th at Talladega High school.

See you tomorrow!

Hi!

I hope that you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

With school starting back this week, I wanted to let you know that practice will be on Thursday (1/7/09) at the high school from 3:40-5:30pm. If the gym at Zora Ellis becomes available and we can practice there I will let you know before Thursday.

Please remember to bring your flag pole.

For this practice we need for some of you to wear a white shirt and for some of you to wear a black shirt. Please refer to the list below. The color of shorts or pants doesn't matter.

In an email earlier this week I attempted to let you know that we will not be practicing Tuesday (1/5) due to some scheduling conflicts. It has been brought to my attention that the email was not received. So just to clarify. We will have practice on Thursday, not Tuesday and not both. Sorry for the confusion. The gym should be more available soon where we can set a consistent day and time, which should resolve these issues.
See you Tuesday!
