Friday @ school...Hawaiian Theme...red & white leis have been purchased for Tigs to wear! Tigs will get leis Thursday afternoon and they MUST be worn all day at school on Friday.
Tigs come to school with hair flatironed straight in high pony, full makeup, dressed wearing "NEW BAND SHOW SHIRT" we will get this week with athletic shoe of choice/no sandals. No face or hair paint!!!
Tigs bring black guard bag to guard room Friday morning. In the guard bag must be the red rhinestone tank, black racerback sports bra, black dance shorts...proper undies with bodystocking and jazz shoes... makeup to refresh afterschool, hair down flatironed straight...also in guard bag gloves, silver poms, a solid black towel or small throw to sit on during the game...a stain stick and bug spray might also come in handy. (Bodystocking MUST be worn under the tank & dance shorts. Make sure undergarments remove all bounce/jiggle and leave no visible lines on body)
We purchased and will have clear ponchos for the Tigerettes if it rains.
Friday @ 3:05...all Tigs stay after to dress on campus. Dinner provided by Boosters!
Tigerettes are required to ride the bus to the game. They may be checked off by their PARENT or by another ADULT TIG PARENT designated in writing BEFORE WE LEAVE OG. Phone calls & texts from parents will not be accepted...we must have a written note with parent signature. Tigs riding the bus home are NOT permitted to switch buses...they go to the game and return to the school on the same bus!! They MUST have a ride waiting on them at school when the buses return...we can't go home until they do!
Tigerettes are expected to behave in an appropriate manner at all times. In or out of uniform every choice made has a consequence. Do not jeopardize your reputation, or the reputation of our Guard, by participating in public displays of affection (PDA), ignore and do not respond to ugly talk or gestures. All school, band, guard rules apply at school events/activities. Pay attention, make sure your words and your actions stay positive at all times.
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!!!
Students only in the bandroom and school buildings on practice & game days.
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.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation regarding policy issues 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 participants & smooth operation of our group as a whole.
Other notes...
As we did last year Tigs/Band no longer have a third quarter break. Water will be provided during the game but no other foods/drinks are permitted...and yes that means we can't drop by to give Tigs a sip or a bite of anything! So please make sure your daughter after game plan included something to eat.
