Belongings

Team, I was aware of how during practice, everyone just leaves their electronics on the bench in the quad while we practice. That is a really big issue because it is in the wide open and no one is responsible for it. From now on, please put away your belongings inside your bag or somewhere safe before practice. Thank you!

First day of tryouts

Today went great you guys. It is just a little taste of armed team! I'm glad the most of you have decided to stay, it has only been a day and you all have more than a week to go! Keep up the good work. Tomorrow, I will be handing out a questionaire for everyone to fill out along with a safety slip for you to bring home, get signed by your parents and returned the following day. It is important you get both of these sheets back to me by Thursday at the latest. Good work all, keep it up :-D

Tryouts

Tryouts begin tomorrow, Monday September 27th. Upperclassmen have the option to change out of uniform for practice. Upperclassmen will be practicing with Barnett and I for the performance at the Air Show this week while Jordan Eicher will take control of the freshmen for the week. Starting next week (October 4th), everyone will be trying out. So please, give it your all starting now until the end of the year. Good luck all.

Great Performance!

Good job today team! We totally kicked rear at the demo! Hopefully that performance caught some of the freshmen eyes! Everyone was great, there may be a few things we can fix but that's okay! Still have a whole year to go, keep it up upperclassmen! Do me proud, next up... TRYOUTS! Good luck to all.

Thanks Olivia for the recording!

Tryouts

Tryouts for Armed Team (including upperclassmen) will begin on Monday September 27th, 2010. Fall in at the grinder at 2:20 sharp. Be prepared for 2 weeks of hard work. If you miss more then 3 days of tryouts, you will automatically be removed from tryouts and will have to wait until the end of the year tryouts.
You will have to be able to do a minimum of 30 pushups correctly and have a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0 or higher. Failure to meet these requirements will disqualify you from trying out. Within the two weeks, you will be taught how to spin a rifle, how to do regulation with a rifle, rifle and team knowledge questions, and a short physical fitness test. Each member will be tried out individually and will be graded by the commander along with the sergeant. Good luck everyone, go Towns guards!

Uniform Day

First uniform date for all upperclassmen will be Monday September 27th, 2010. Don't forget to do your current events assignment as well! Practice will be held that day however, wearing your uniform is optional. I suggest you bring a change of clothes to do pushups, otherwise you will be rowing the boat for the time being. Please check in with LG before Monday to exchange any necessary parts.

Safety Release Forms

All team members will have their safety release formed signed and returned ASAP. Please do not forget or lose them because as you know, the school is extremely low on paper and I do not want to waste if because you were irresponsible. Thank you!

Practice

The last week or so of practice has gone great team! Keep up the good work and we'll hit success in the blink of an eye. I know that it's hard, I will be pushing you guys to the brink of your abilities until the very last day of school. So prepare yourself mentally and physically for the hard work! It may be hard work but in the end, nothing beats taking home 1st place Sweepstakes for CA-935 AFDT! Let's do this Townsguards! The new year starts now.

DATES

Freshmen showcase performance, with a 3-5 minute modified routine: September 24th, 2010.
All Team tryouts start September 27th, the following Monday from the last day of one week training.

Freshmen Showcase

As you all know, every team must give a showcase to the incoming freshman on the last day of one week training. So that gives us a good two weeks to finish our routine, then the rest of the time will be perfecting it for the Air Show! Work hard team! Give it 110%. Let's rock this year.

Upperclassmen Practice

Practice for upperclassmen will start September 8th. From 2:20 - 3:30
We will be working on the routine for the upcoming Air Show. More details will be released during practice. It is MANDATORY if you are preforming. Kevin Huynh will be our guideon for the performance. There will be some empty blanks in the routine to fill in so use your imagination and help me out. Please speak up if you have any ideas for the routine. Thanks! See you all tomorrow.

Incoming tryouts have the option to attend if they wish to get a head start. [Will be practicing on their own on the grass]

*Note* Practice might continue through 2-week training. So please talk to me or Barnett if you have problems concerning teaching at 2 week training. I will announce who will or will not be performing for the Air Show at practice.
