Dega Darlins 2011

Hey girls!
These past few days I have been searching for new exercises and stretches that we could incorporate into our warmups. I always end up at justforkix.com, so I figured yall should know about them too.
There is on online studio(and youtube account) and a lot of videos that can teach you how to do leaps, turns, kicks, stretches, workouts, combinations, and a lot more.

Enjoy your week off from practice! But please practice on your own, stretch, and maybe even work out.
I would like to up the numbers on the crunches we do, so be prepared!

I love you all!


Just a reminder that not only should you take the opportunity to utilize the blog of your individual section, but you should also visit blogs of other sections and feel free to make comments there too. You can find the link in the sidebar of your blog. For a start, go visit the drum major blog to see how Blake did at Spirit Camp.

Thanks for your hard work this week at rehearsal!

Over the next week I want to encourage you to work on your routines at home, or like Lacey said, "with a friend". She also suggested recording yourself which is a great idea and easier to do with a friend. We must be willing to recognize our mistakes in order to become better. You know what you are looking at; you just have to be able to see it.



Due to the fact that I know you enjoy the song and in honor of Michael Jackson, I posted a video below. This song you guys always mention when anyone mentions him. I wish I had video of you doing the dance last year at that pep-rally, I would have posted that instead. You know on youtube you can find many groups doing the thriller dance. I have seen this one before but was reminded of it yesterday. It is humerous and pretty good. Enjoy!



See you in July!

Hey girls!
I just wanted to let you all know that I am extremely proud of all the hard work we have accomplished this past weekend and this afternoon, and I am excited for more to come!

Make sure you practice on your own at home (or with a friend)!
If you have a digital camera with a video setting or any way to video that would be a great way to clean on your own. Other people can tell you what you are doing wrong, but if you see it for yourself it will help you understand better.

Stretch at home too!
It is important to know this: If you stretch for about 30 seconds, you are stretching to get ready to dance for the day. If you hold the stretch for 1:30 minutes to 3:00 minutes, you are stretching to increase flexibility. Holding the stretch for a longer duration is how you will see results. Let pain be your guide. There is a difference between feeling a little uncomfortable and pain.

And work out at home some too! If you find any new exercises, bring them to practice and show us! We need to build our arm and shoulder strength so anything like that will be great.

Keep up the good work! See you Thursday, and wear blue!

i love you all!

Below is a video from Summer Camp. I hope you enjoy the pictures. It ended up kind of long....hmmmm... not sure how that happened. But I wanted to include as many pictures as possible. If it is too big to download and is being slow let me know and I will see about making changes. Thanks for a GREAT week ladies. GREAT JOB! I am excited about the new year! I have to say that I am especially proud of our new members. With six new people to the line it can sometimes be difficult, but you stepped up to the plate this week. Congratulations!

Camp


Hi everyone! I hope that you summer has been great so far. I am very excited about the upcoming camp with Brian. I think this is going to be a fun and upbeat show that we all will enjoy. Just a few reminders:
1. Dress in comfortable clothing that allows you to move.
2. Bring lots of water and/or Gatorade. Hydration is very important.
3. On Friday and Saturday bring your lunch. You will not be allowed to leave for lunch.
4. Remember that demerits will be enforced. Be on time!
Also, on Thursday Mrs. Bonnie will be here to fit you for uniforms. We will likely do this when you first arrive depending on when she is there.
See you on Thursday!
