Well, one week later and our holiday season schedule is set. All we have to say is whew!! A few of our members just returned from the University of Louisville last weekend, cheering on our Huskies. The football game didn't go our way, but we looked great and had a blast despite the 16-hour bus ride!! Check out our photo from Louisville....
This weekend, we get to perform in the halftime show on Friday night with the UCMB (University of Connecticut Marching Band)! This is a first for our program, and we hope to continue the collaboration with them. This has been a season of collaborations for us- together we are stronger! Next week, men's and women's basketball kicks off and we are really pumped about that.
At practice, we've been doing some intense muscle training, targeting lower body strength. We've been working on our hips, thighs, calfs, abs, and glutes. We're also currently in the process of finding some time in our already crazy schedules to hit the weight room. By April, we'll be in peak physical condition!! Photos from our training session are below. We're cleaning and learning game dances, and it always seems like there's not enough time to accomplish all the things we have to do.
On to nationals preparations- after a long (but good!) debate, we chose our jazz song! We're excited about it and ready to learn from Kyle (who was just on Glee, by the way!!). He's coming from LA in November and we can't wait. Since we've chosen a song, we have already begun searching for costumes. Obviously we will wait until we have the choreography, but its never too early to start looking (color, style, rhinestones, sequins- yay!). We reviewed 3 ideas last night, and will be scouring the internet for more ideas. For hip hop, we have a really unique concept so it was exciting to talk about costuming. Coach brought tons of ideas to chat about and we started the process of selecting a direction for our hip hop outfit. It's going to be epic :-) Finally, our second quote was revealed last night! By April, we will have lots of things to reflect upon and we will be able to look back on all of our hard work. Watch the video to see our quote reveal for the week..........
