Spring Guard Clinic


Tigerettes Grades 6-11 will participate in a Guard Clinic during their regularly scheduled band classes every day next week...May 10-14. The clinic is required and girls MUST have a doctor's excuse to miss any band class scheduled.

Girls will need to be prepared daily to change quickly into a t-shirt and shorts. Athletic shoes (no dance shoes, no converse) are required for the class as well. They should also bring a bottle of water with them each day. Tigs who forget their practice clothes and shoes will not participate...will be considered absent unexcused, and will sit out next fall. Remember, unexcused absences = suspension from performance...one performance per unexcused absence.

Blake Perry, former member of JSU Center Stage World Class Guard, will instruct our girls in three areas. A warm-up body block will be taught to "Just for Today" by India Arie. A flag block will be taught to "Imma Be" by Black Eyed Peas. A rifle block will be taught to "Please Don't Stop the Rain" by James Morrison. If you are going to buy these songs please remember we always use the radio edited versions for cleanliness.
