THE ROAD TO NDA NATIONALS 2011 ~ ITS ONLY JUST BEGUN

We are busy, busy, busy! As football season is underway and basketball season begins, we are spending most of our rehearsals learning new material for our games. We have started the process of nationals planning, though. We have selected our jazz choreographer- Kyle Hill!! He will be coming in November to teach us. Currently, we're in the process of nailing down a song. We have 2 awesome (but very different) choices thus far. As for hip hop, we have an awesome concept that we are pumped about and are waiting on our music from the DJ. We are facing a few challenges as we start our journey-- we've lost 2 very amazing team members who we will miss like crazy!! We definitely have issues finding a place to practice, therefore limiting our practice times to twice a week for 2 hours. It is HARD to do technique, learn game choreography, and have "team time" in this amount of time- but we definitely try to make the best of it. In addition, we travel to every away football game so things are a bit crazy :-)

We had an AMAZING performance at our First Night (sort of like "Midnight Madness")!! We did a collabo with the cheerleaders and it was phenomenal. We are definitely using each performance as a stepping stone to nationals. We upped our performance quality, and delivered an exciting, energetic performance that our fans loved. We left the floor with so much love and passion for performing and for our team- AND we got to debut the silver sparkle half tops that we've been working really hard to look great in! It was really fun to perform with cheer as well. Definitely looking forward to performing with cheer at a Boston Celtics game in January!!!!!

We are loving our team and really focusing on staying drama-free and keeping our road to nationals nice and smooth! We want this to be an amazing and memorable ride, and we know that it will take all 16 members and our fabulous coach to make it happen. Stay tuned each week for more updates, and enjoy our weekly quotes!

QUOTE FOR OCTOBER 24, 2010 ~ WEEK 1 OF 24

You are not given the people you want in life. You are given the people you need...to help you, to hurt you, to love you, to leave you, and to make you into the person you were meant to be.
