We have begun to see girls with sinus infections, strep, flu, sprained ankles, and shin splints. Please remember that we always follow doctor's instructions. Parents please help us by seeing that your daughter stays well hydrated and that she is getting plenty of rest at night. Girls please help us by not drinking or eating after each other, by staying hydrated, by getting enough sleep, and also by not participating in activities that could cause an injury. If you are a girl who has had previous problems with sprains/strains please make sure you are wearing proper support items at all practices and performances.
All must note as well that when the doctor says "no participation" that means the girl dresses for practice or performance but "sits out"...girls get back in quicker if they watch & know what is going on. If the doctor says "no school" that means she can't attend band events/games/contests at all. Performance and/or travel on Fridays and Saturdays will be based on ability to practice full out, and ability to learn the work missed while sick or injured. Thanks in advance for doing your part to stay healthy so we can have everyone on the field in the coming weeks.
Girls are doing a great job thus far!! We are VERY proud of the progress and look forward to the continued growth of the show. Hope to have the full skeleton of our program on the field Friday night. We also appreciate the wonderful support provided by our Guard Parents...we doubt any other Guard in the world has such a great group of parents to work with...thank you so very much for all you do!!!
THURSDAY THIS WEEK TIGERETTES WERE GIVEN 4 Band Jamboree tickets each to sell. The tickets are $5 each...CASH ONLY. Tigs must sell all 4 to family, friends, neighbors, church folks, etc. $CASH OR UNSOLD TICKETS must be turned in to Donna or Rebecca on or before NEXT TUESDAY.
