Cheer Costs

Hi cheerleaders and families! 

We've had a great first two practices. Coach Sumner and I are extremely excited about the progress the team has made in a few short days! We have to attribute a fair amount of this success to the team working hard on the material prior to practices.  

       As you may know, the typical athletic fee for any sport is $65 per season. This year cheerleading will NOT pay this fee. However, this may change in future seasons or years. If you already paid the fee, please contact bookkeeper Misty Adams about possible refunds. 

       At the fall sports meeting we talked about the fee the cheerleaders would need for their clothing for the season. At that time we told you that the $25 dollar fee would cover a bow, pair of briefs (for under the skirts), and shoes. Later at the meeting we also discussed making the fee $50 so the team could also get matching shirts and shorts. Coach Sumner and I have recently talked about a different situation, and here is our proposition: $35 fee that would pay for a bow, pair of briefs, shoes and a t-shirt. 

So the two options are:

$25 for a bow, briefs, and shoes            OR            $35 for a bow, briefs, shoes, and a t-shirt. 

The cheer program has paid for all uniforms, warm-ups, bags, poms, signs, etc., because these are things that will stay with the program. The cheer fee is for things that the team members will keep after the season is over. We would REALLY like to get the team the t-shirts (for an extra $10) so that they can look uniformed and professional at events that don't necessarily require uniforms such as volunteer events we will go to, performances needing a more casual outfit, fundraisers, and to wear to school on days we have a game. 

PLEASE talk to your family or cheerleader tonight about these options! If we are to order shirts in time for our stadium opening/scrimmage on August 29th (check the calendar) then we will need to decide tomorrow at practice! This is a great backup plan if our missing uniform tops don't come in on time! 

 Let us know as soon as possible if you have any concerns. Thanks! 

Athletic Registration

Hello all! If you haven't done your athletic paperwork, then you can do it online using this link:

Online Registration (click those words and it will take you to the page.)

ALL ATHLETES MUST HAVE THIS PAPERWORK COMPLETED PRIOR TO TOMORROW'S PRACTICE. Students who have not completed the forms will be required to come to practice, but will NOT be able to participate. Get it done please!


See you tomorrow!   :)

Excitement!!

I am beyond excited for practices to start on Tuesday! Sure we've got a lot of work ahead of us, and we've got some time constraints to face. Despite that, I don't think it's possible for me to be more excited to start practicing! Oh how I wish I didn't have to wait almost 2 more days!

Look at all that excitement. That's how my insides look! ;)

That's right, more excited than Buddy the Elf.

I hope you are all as excited as Coach Sumner and I are. What a fantastic season we have to look forward to! See you Tuesday!

Lots of Info

Hello team! 

There is lots to go over in this post, so please read it EXTRA carefully. Please check out all the pages/tabs above to make sure you view all the information.

• We have been asked to put on a half-time show at the first football game. This means we have extra work to do before then. Because of this, Coach Sumner and I are asking that you please learn Swagger Jagger dance on your own BEFORE our first practice. The video is extremely helpful and goes through the moves by each count. You can find the video on the MATERIALS page. 

• There is a Fall Sports Meeting on Tuesday August 12th. Find more details on the CALENDAR page. 

• Free Physicals are on Thursday August 14th. See the CALENDAR page for details. 

• Cheerleaders are only allowed 3 excused absences during our summer practices. Please look at the EXPECTATIONS page to see the full policy. It is very important, go look! 

• Don't forget that you are required to know all of the cheers in Cheer Video #1 (it's on the MATERIALS page.) If you don't know the cheers you will have to do extra conditioning. Learn them, and be ready to perform them at the FIRST practice. 

Other than that important info, I hope you are enjoying the remainder of your summer! Get together with some of your teammates and practice all of your material so you feel prepared. I am SO excited for our first practice. As always, get in touch with me if you have any questions or concerns! :)

Airshow

Hello parents and team members!

August is already here, and it feels like this summer has flown by.

As you saw, Buff Boosters helped our team purchase a new mascot for the upcoming seasons. In order to continue this positive relationship between our team and the Boosters we need to help them throughout the year.

Our first opportunity to help the Boosters will come this August at the Madras Airshow! We will need both team members and some parents to help run a booth for the Buff Boosters.  They will need help from 2:00pm to 4:00pm on Friday August 22, and 7:30 am to 4:30 pm on Saturday August 23. We need to cover at least 4 hours in the booth. The more we can cover the better!

Please let me or Mrs. Sumner know if you are available to help AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!  If we let the Boosters know soon then we can have the time slots we desire. Thanks so much! Keep working hard!

Cheer Video #1

Here is the first video of cheers and chants. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO KNOW THESE PRIOR TO OUR FIRST PRACTICE. Make sure you practice them like crazy! Lots of thanks to Dani and Brianna for helping me out with this. I will hopefully have some more videos if I can get together with some of the returners to help me out.

Watch it here, or click on it to go to the YouTube page.

This material belongs to the Madras High School Cheerleading Squad. If you would like to use any of this material, please contact us for permission. Thanks. 

Something New

Something new showed up today. It's white. It's fuzzy. And it's going to look fantastic in the new stadium! Any guesses??

It's our new White Buffalo mascot!

Many, many thanks to the Buff Boosters for helping our team purchase this new mascot. We look forward to its official debut in the fall!

The First Post

Hey team! 

I'm still working on getting all the cheers, chants, and dances recorded. I'll let you know when I get them, and they'll be on the "Materials" page. Until then check out the Inspiration and Technique Tips pages. I've also added the summer workout up top, just in case you somehow misplaced your copy. Start working hard!
