Glitz!

I'm excited to see what y'all are working on for Indy. This time of the season can get stressful. Indy is the biggest event of the season. There will be about 11,000 cheerleaders at the event. Holy cow.

It's a ton of fun but it can be stressful so everyone is a little bit cranky because we want everything to be perfect.

Speaking of perfect...we always have a costume parade in Indy. We started this tradition many years ago. On Saturday, we'll dress up in some sort of silly theme and we'll parade around the convention center. People stare at us and it's wonderful.

Why do we do it? It's a celebration. We'll be glad that we worked so hard and that we are there together as a family. So the best way to celebrate is to put on a costume and run around like wild geese. The costume parade helps remind us that the first day is OVER and it's time to start fresh the next day! Day 2 is very important so we want you to go to bed with a big smile on your face.

The Jamfest Staff loves our spirit and we are recognized each year at Jamfest Indy or at the coaches conference. They really appreciate our spunk....so we can't let 'em down.

There has been some discussion about dressing up as safari this season (zebras, cheetahs and etc) or punk rockers, or animated characters or etc. Glitz and Glamour will dress in the same theme. We'll then parade around the convention center (after we are completely finished with day 1). We'll laugh, it will be a hoot. We'll hug and we'll be so happy to be there together. That's why we do this....to be our best on the mat and then walk off that mat and be happy happy happy! Hooray for happy people!

If you have an idea...post it. The decision must be made by this Sunday so that you have time to dig in your closet and come up with your costume.

Cheers to all!
Coach E

p.s. don't forget that you have practice from 4-6:00 on Saturday.
