Tumwater Competition-November 13, 2010

Our first competition is coming right up! I would have written this info sooner, but I was out of the country for a couple weeks and hadn't received the info until a few days ago! But here it finally is!!!We will be at Tumwater High School for our first competition! The girls have been practicing hard and I trust they will do very well!Some info about this competition is:
Directions

Travel south on I-5 and take the Tumwater Blvd exit, Exit 101. Stay in the left hand lane. Turn left at the stop light on Tumwater Blvd. At the next light, turn left on Linderson Way. At the stop sign, turn right on Israel Road. You will see the school on the left. You will want to turn in the parking lot just past the reader board and before the tennis courts. Parents will direct you as to where to drop off your participants and where to park.

Concessions

Concessions will be open as soon as the doors open for teams with breakfast type items and then the usual junk food—pizza, nachos, hot dogs…Yum. We hope to have the Bumper Sticker guys will be there again and hopefully pictures/action shots. Here is the logo for the competition shirts. We will also have flowers and DVD’s as well as a Thanksgiving raffle basket.

Admission
$7.00 for adults

$5.00 for students and seniors

Children under 5 free

The competition begins at 12:00pm and we are 11th in the line up. It is always hard to say what time exactly we will be on, so, in this case, I would encourage you to be there close to noon. 12:30pm should be safe!

I hope to see you all there in your Red and Gold and scarves in hand!

Go Knights Drillers!!!

March 26, 2011: STATE-Yakima, WA

A few things:

-I understand there will be SAT's going on during the mornings of some of our competitions; typically in the past this has always worked out. The driller just comes straight to the competition when she is done with her test, we will get her hair braided, make up put on and she's good to go! Please don't stress about this, I totally understand SAT's are important and that is why I always want it to work out as easily as possible!

-We maybe also compete 1 or 2 times in February; that is still TBD. But please keep that month open, as we are also preparing for State so will be busy with practices as it is.

-Lock-in's always happen on the Saturday BEFORE competition. Please keep that in mind and note that in your calendar as well. Times are TBD but are typically 5-7 hours long.

Can't wait to see you all at our competitions! Remember to wear your scarves, parent t-shirts and/or red and gold!!! :) (If you want a parent t-shirt, please email me: lebe524@yahoo.com and I will get a list going and we'll place an order).

Homecoming 2010

Homecoming is here! This will be such a fun week for the girls at school, and a fun yet tough week at drill! We have some more cleaning to do on this drill, but by Friday, I know it will be GREAT and ready to perform! This drill is by far my favorite one so far, and I can't wait for everyone to see it! It's amazing!

Please, come watch your wonderful daughters perform at the Homecoming assembly at 1:30pm at NHS and/or at the football game that night (Friday, October 15).

I hope to see you there! And remember, it's HOMECOMING to be sure to be spirited!!!!

GO KNIGHTS!

School has Begun!

Now that school is in full swing, I thought I would recap on our summer practices.

Everything went very well and smoothly! We did a lot of running, conditioning and stretching which has contributed to the girls endurance, strength and flexibility. We worked on Fight Song and our 1st Drill; both are looking great! We did bonding activities that brought us all closer and it's really been a pleasure being the coach of the 2010-2011 NHS Drill Team! I've loved getting to know the newbies and continuously getting to know my returners. The atmosphere has been a very positive and fun one and I am confident that it will last throughout the year!

Please, come watch the girls perform the 1st Drill at the assembly on September 10 at 1:30 in the main gym. I know they would love for family/friends to see it, especially since this is the only time the will perform it! Then we will be off and running into Homecoming Drill!

It was great to see many of you at the Fall Sports Kickoff Meeting and I look forward to seeing you at the Football Game and Disco Dance on Friday!!

Let's go Knights Drillers!!

Summer Practice Begins Soon

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer break!

Summer practices are just around the corner! I am really excited!

I know this is going to be a very fun year with some change and of course still some tradition, so be ready! Strength and endurance workouts will be a big part of this years' summer training, so make sure drillers are getting ready and doing a little something active over the break. Plenty of water should be brought to every practice to keep hydrated (no pop) and snacks for energy. I am getting myself ready as I will be right there leading the workouts, so I have to be sure to keep up and ahead! :)

See you soon and enjoy your last few weeks of summer break!

Kentridge Invitational

Please come help and support our girls this Saturday, January 30, 2010 at the Kentridge Invitational!

The girls will be performing the Basketball Drill (like at the last invitational) and I know they will do great (again!). They have been working hard on cleaning some things up and I am excited to see them perform! The spirit and energy from our fans was GREAT last time, so I can't wait to see how it will be this time!

Thank you all for supporting the girls and I can't wait to see you Saturday!!
