Lot's of info presented here...please take time to read everything!!
No absences, tardies, checkins, or checkouts on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays! Absences on those days will require a doctor or dental excuse, a funeral excuse, or written documentation of a non-recurring family emergency.
Tuesday Night Rehearsal is 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. *Tigerettes are NOT permitted to stay afterschool...see below! Parents are welcomed to observe Tuesday night rehearsals. Please make sure however that noise is kept to a minimum because we are in the process of instructing & learning. Also know that parent observers should sit in the end sections of the stadium only. The middle section is used by directors for instruction during the rehearsal. Students only in the bandroom and school buildings on Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday nights. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!!
Thursday Afterschool Rehearsal 3:05 to 4:30 p.m. Please have ride waiting at dismissal time.
Tigerettes are expected to behave in an appropriate manner at all times. In or out of uniform every choice you make has a consequence. Do not jeopardize your reputation, or the reputation of our Guard, by participating in public displays of affection, ignore and do not respond to ugly talk or gestures. All school rules, band rules, guard rules apply at school events/activities. Pay attention, make sure your words and your actions stay positive at all times!!
Friday gamedays...plan ahead...NO colored nail polish...clear or French manicure only. NO jewelry. NO visible piercings or tattoos. Hot or Cold, Rain or Shine Be Prepared!!! Black blanket or towel to sit on, bug spray, plain clear poncho from the Dollar Tree, & a stain stick must be in black guard bag at all times.
Tigerettes will dress alike every Friday we have a game. The required dress will be announced each day of that school week. You will be assigned a specific top, hairstyle, jeans, & will wear them along with the white pep rally tennis shoes all day at school. Make sure you listen, plan, and do what is expected...no checkouts or calls home for help. Tigs should also look tan on game days and at contests or exhibitions during the season. Please purchase & apply self tanning lotion OR get a spray tan each week to have that healthy glow!!
Before games and rehearsals...members are given a specific “report time”. *TIGS are not permitted to stay on campus afterschool. All must leave campus and are not permitted to return to campus until 15 minutes prior to report time...no exceptions!! You can’t be on campus unsupervised. If you live too far to make it back you will need to find a guard friend who lives closer to go home with Friday afternoons.
At games...Tigerettes have assigned seats in the stands and will remain in the correct order the entire time!! No food/drinks/gum/candy in the stands. NO APPLICATION OF MAKEUP OR HAIR PRODUCTS!! Visitors to the band section are expected to speak and move on. Restroom visits must be taken care of prior to game & during third quarter break...this is a privilege...NO PDA...you must be with two other Guard members even at home games. Your 1st priority on break is to go to the restroom and get in line at the concessions stand...be responsible!! Tigerettes report back to the stands one minute prior to Director’s called time.
After home games...Tigerettes will dismiss to Parents at the top of the stairs behind the band section.
After away games/contests...Tigerettes may be checked off the bus at the end of away events. Parent/adult is required to come to our bus to check you off. Tigs are not permitted to check off our bus and ride a different band bus home. If you ride home on a band bus it is the same one you came on & you will be expected to help unload the truck before you leave campus. Those who ride the bus home MUST have a ride waiting on them when we get back to the school. Cell phones will not be used for last minute travel permission this season!!! Tigerettes may only be checked off the bus at the end of away games by their parent or by an ADULT designated in writing by their parent. We are unable to verify notes turned in so please know that any student providing a “fake” note would be written up for providing false info. We thank you in advance for your cooperation regarding policy issues like these and ask that you remember they are not intended to cause student/parent problems, but are put in place to help ensure the safety of all participants.
Tigerettes are required to be in the company of at least two other Guard members at all times at all rehearsals & games...both home & away...there is safety in numbers...safety from vultures and also safety from the rumor mill!!!
No boyfriends at rehearsals!!!
Please don’t forget that laps are required when Tigs are late or when they show up unprepared. We thank you in advance for being a responsible member and parent...arriving on time and having all items needed for rehearsal/games/contests/exhibitions. We also appreciate you all “not whining” when lack of preparation or time management sends a girl around the field.
OTHER REMINDERS...
Doctor’s excuses...a doc’s note is required for any rehearsal missed due to illness. We always follow doctor’s orders...without a doc’s release or instructions we can’t let you practice or perform.
Tigerette clothes/items...this is a repeat of instruction during summer camp...DO NOT wear or carry or alter any of our new items (uniform, costume, or pep) until your Directors instruct you to do so...we must keep everything fresh/new for this fall. Tigerettes are the only people who should be wearing Tigerette/Guard items.
Arriving & Leaving on time...make sure your parents and/or your ride know the correct times you are to arrive as well as the correct time to pick you up...we can’t leave til you do!!!
