Homecoming Week--Game 5!!

So very proud of the job the girls & the band did on Friday and Saturday!! 

Special thanks to Wendy Johnson & Marcia Wright for their "bun help" on Saturday afternoon, also a huge thank you to Amy Salter who was willing to make a quick run to Party City for us.  Last but not least we thank the wonderful Dads/Gentlemen...aka "caped crusaders"...who helped get the drum/props ready...their willingness to go the extra mile for the show to run smoothly and safely was a God send.

Looking ahead to Homecoming Week...Vandalism vs. Pranks!!

Please make sure that you know & respect the difference in vandalism and pranks when you are out and about during Homecoming week...

Vandalism is anything done to cause harm to a person, a place, or a thing.  Vandalism leaves damage that requires "fixing".  Vandalism causes people to get in trouble, it damages property, it puts our school activities at risk, and most importantly it puts safety & well being at risk.  Examples:  spray painting, sugaring, salting, glittering, egging, shave creaming, breaking, tearing up, stealing, or use of profane/suggestive language.  Vandalism is wrong!!

Pranks are things done that don't cause damage or harm to a person, place, or thing.  TP in trees/yards, signs draped over fencing or rails, sidewalk chalk are all examples of pranks that don't require anything but a little cleanup...no damage left after.

Parents please know where your babies are and who they are with during homecoming week...don't need anyone in trouble and more importantly don't need anyone injured/harmed in any way.

***********************************************************

Monday = Wear PJs/bring poms for possible parade to elementary = required for Tigerettes!  Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday = optional homecoming dress up for Tigs!

Monday - Wednesday = athletic shoes and moveable clothes 7th period.

Tuesday night = 6-9...ts/shorts/athletic shoes/water or sports drink (big jugs no longer needed since weather changed)...please plan for drop off and pick up to avoid "homecoming car issues" while we practice.  If we could have some band parents hanging out/monitoring the areas around the bandroom and in the parking lot it would sure be a big help.

Thursday afternoon til 5...ts/shorts/athletic shoes/water or sports drink.

Emailed to all on Monday afternoon...Band and Tigerettes will be participating in the community pep rally at memorial park on Thursday night at 8 p.m. What time to report and what to wear will be announced during 7th period all this week. Tig non-drivers will need a parent/guardian with them at the park please.

Friday = Elementary Pep Rally @ 9 a.m.  Afternoon @ TBA.

Tigs will dance at both morning & afternoon pep rallies wearing Pep Rally Uniform and jazz shoes.  Hair with red ribbon.  They will arrive Friday morning in Pep Rally attire and will bring with them Jeans/Tiger For Life T/shoes to wear during classtime.

The OG homecoming trend of checking out for lunch and checking back in has caused various issues of concern the past few years...teachers mad giving zeros, timeframe infractions, problems at local restaurants, hurt feelings amongst girls, extra worry confusion for directors...so checking out and back in WILL NOT be an option for Tigerettes.  As always a doctor/dentist/court excuse would be required for absences/checkins/outs on Friday and they would be verified for authenticity.

Report time for the game Friday night is 5:30.  The band will perform the halftime show PREGAME at 6 p.m.  Please make sure all your family and friends are aware of the PREGAME PERFORMANCE.  Asian Costume entire night, heavy natural makeup, and HAIR IN BUN except for Lauren & Makenzi who will "twig up high".  Homecoming Court activities will take place at halftime...congrats Lauren & Makenzi!!
