Uniforms

Well, uniform fittings went well.  We will have 2 new uniforms.  One will be motion flex, long sleeved and the other will be polyester sleeveless.  I tried to stay within the budget I set.  But, I went a little over.  Leisa and I decided since we aren't having camp that a little over on uniforms is ok.

Wayne uniform:  (motion flex long sleeve)
Shirt $70.95
Skirt: $59.95
Lettering: $25.50 (lettering sucks...it always adds more than I like)
Total: $156.40 (I went over by $6.40)

WHS uniform: (polyester sleeveless)
Shell & skirt package: $95.95
Lettering: $17.25
Total: $113.20 (I went over by $18.20)

Also, I am trying to do this through the school so you don't have to pay sales tax.  The only other thing you will have to pay is shipping and handling and that is $18.73

So, I need 100% of this money before July 1st so that we can have them before school starts.  Mr. Elmer has made it very clear that if you do not have all of your money to me by then your uniform will not be ordered.  So the total for each girls uniform including shipping is $288.33  Get this to Rachelle in a check before July 1st.  I don't want cash.  Make the check payable to WHS.   I need to talk to the district office to make sure all of this is good.  If they want me to change something I will let you know.

Next weeks Schedule

We will practice 3 times next week and then no more until June 4th (brush up practice before camp)
Monday at 4:30
Tuesday after school & uniform fitting from 4 to 5
Wednesday at 4:30 for Stunt group A
Thursday at 6 am for Stunt group C

On the uniform fitting.  We will have a varsity rep there.  She will be fitting you for 1 uniform.  The varsity rep and your coaches will put together some uniform options for you to vote on.  We will not be giving you the book and saying, go for it, pick what you want.  That causes way to much drama. The other uniform we will be getting from another company.  It will be a little cheaper to keep prices down.  But, it only has to last 2 years then we will be able to replace it.  The goal is 3 uniforms every year.  We retire 1 and gain 1.  It will take us 2 years to get into this cycle.  So, this year 1 from varsity and one cheaper.  Varsity is good about keeping their uniforms around for the 3 years I keep them in rotation.  So, the 2 uniforms we get this year will work like this.  The cheaper one lasts 2 years and then we can retire it.  The varsity 1 lasts 3 years and then it is retired.  And next year we get 1 new one (it will last 3 years, etc as so on).  I have found this keeps prices down but keeps the uniforms in good shape.

We will have 2 to 3 choices for you to pick from.  This way you are picking from the right fabric (motion flex.  It stretchs with you as you grow or shrink, also when you perform.  It doesn't ride up as bad and isn't as hot in the gyms when you are cheering) you are staying with in our budget and the dress code that we think is important we maintain.   We can really get out of control on money with uniforms.  This really helps us maintain our budget.

So, plan on getting fitted but that is all.

Camp

  Camp will be great this year.  To save money and keep costs as low as possible we are doing a home camp.  We save a lot of money by not having to worry about gas, food and housing.  The dates are June 5th, 6th and 7th.  These will be long days.  Rachelle will be bringing the material we will be learning for the year.

  Also, I would like to have some Moms bring in lunch so that we can eat together during camp without having to travel and spend alot of money (team bonding).  Leisa or I will try and contact you personally and ask what you could help with.

Money stuff

On the side I have posted the budget I have figured for this year.  There are somethings that everyone will need and there are somethings that the returning girls will already have.  I will try and make a list here of those things for your info:

Everyone needs:
Shoes
Camp Fee
Campwear:  (will be used throughout the year for various things)
  white zebra shirt w/ shorts (should have shirt, shorts are coming)
  Purple jersey w/ white soffe shorts
  3rd set of campwear
Warm-ups
2 uniforms
Purple spandex
bag
poms
white bow
gold bow
white liner

Returning Girls may have:
Purple jersey
purple spandex
bag
white liner
(I don't know what bows you had last year)

So when we order you need to tell us if you have these things or if you need new.  I plan on using alot of the same stuff next year.  So, the first year always costs more, but then it cost alot less the other years.

Practice...

I looked at your testing schedule and it looks like there is testing on and off for the next 2 weeks.  Then it is the last week of school.  I will do the best I can to arrange practice so you are not tired during testing.  The way I had it arranged before was everyone would only have one practice a week.  Except officers would be there twice once stunting and once spotting.

So, we will not have officers spot. If Taunie and Leisa can come, they can help me spot.

Group A (Amanda's stunt group) Tuesday morning practice at 6:00 am.
Group B (Brennan's stunt group) Wednesday morning practice at 6:15 am.
Group C (Crystal's stunt group) Friday morning practice 6:15 am.

If after school works better, text me.  The whole group needs to be there.  So, usually mornings work better if girls have to work or other practices.

No one will practice Thursday. I have to take Wade to his specialists in St. George.

Spankies

These are the 3 styles of spandex or spankies you can choose from.  I was looking for higher waisted ones.  But, the higher waisted ones have shorter leg inseams.  They will be purple.  You can choose high waist, V or straight waist.  Choose which one you want and what size and I will get them ordered.  I don't care if everyone has different waists.  The benefit of high waist is your belly won't show if you raise your arms.  Also helps with muffin top.

The inseam is 2". Cost is $$19.95



Motionwear's V-Waist Shorts offer an elastic-free, comfortable and flattering v-front waistband and longer inseam.  Inseam is 2 3/4". Cost is $19.50

 These comfortable flat waist shorts feature a moderate inseam and banded leg openings. The bands help keep the legs securely in place to allow worry-free movement. Inseam is 2 3/8".  Cost is $23.00

Officers Meeting

We will have an officers meeting for all officers Tuesday during lunch at Leisa Hilton's house.  She will be feeding you lunch.  We will explain your assignments for the year and see what you girls want to accomplish.  We will be done in time for you to back to school on time. So, get there as soon as you can and we will get done as soon as we can.

Practices

We are going to have to hold off on practice for a minute.  I didn't realize that you had end of level testing.  So, we will look at your testing schedule and see what time frames we have open and reschedule some practices.  Check back here tomorrow afternoon, I should have it posted by then.

For safety clinic we have ordered you some shirts.  They should be done.  The shorts aren't here yet.  So wear dark shorts.  Black if possible or navy.  Spankies (always) NO nails, NO jewelry, NO bangs and NO gum. Oh yeah and NO butt shorts.  So, get your hair up and out of your eyes.  If you are a returning girl wear last years shoes.  If you are new just wear white shoes.  We will text you the time we will be leaving.
