Hey girls!  I forgot to talk about the basketball game this morning.  Don’t forget tomorrow we have a basketball game.  Here is what you need to know…

Tomorrow Morning:  Report at 7:50 in warm ups (instead of comfy clothes).   Do not be late.

Warm Ups:  Netted with We Are ONE t-shirt and WHITE tennis shoes.

Game Report time:  6:00 (We only have one game)

Performance:  New Jazz (Don’t forget white chokers, gloves, and rhinestone hair clips.  Also the typical silver poms, Eaglette black bag, etc)

Sorry for not going over this information this morning.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

I will have a February calendar for you tomorrow.  It is online now.  

Have a great day!

5 Star Success

“Success isn’t something that happens suddenly on the performance floor when the music starts and the crowds roar. Successis something that builds physically and mentally EVERY day that you train and EVERY night that you dream”

What a successful weekend! It didn’t just happen when you walked on the floor. It was not just luck. It was all the hard work, heart, and soul you have put into this team, your coaches, and each other. I could not be more pleased or more proud. The amount of pride I felt every time you took the floor was tripled every time you left. The amount of happiness I felt every time I heard the word please or thank you was tripled by the positive attitudes all day long. You represented Olathe North and the Eaglettes above and beyond. As I watched on and off the floor on Saturday, I was humbled! I couldn’t have asked for more or dreamed of anything better! Thank you for making our first competition MAGNIFICENT! I don’t know about you, but I had a blast and I want to do that again! Do you have it in you for another weekend? Can we step it up and raise the bar even higher? I know you can! Kansas Spectacular, here we come! LOOK OUT FOR US! I am so proud of every single one of you. I am so lucky to have you all in my life. I am so thankful to be your coach!

Some of my many highlights…
-The additional routines! From duets to solos to trios to ensembles, everyone stepped it up! I thought Olathe North was represented wonderfully! It was a great start and I can’t wait to see what happens this next weekend after everyone works even harder this week!
-Lyrical…You looked like angels in your wings!
-Pom…I have never seen such energy and sharpness! Holy cow! You blew me away! And that running man energy…WATCH OUT!   Katie Kenton’s tears at the end
J reminded me just how special that Eaglette feeling is!  Not many people get to experience it, but boy there is nothing else like it!
-Hip Hop…I could feel the energy from you.  I thought you were going to touch the ceiling on “Tearing up my heart”!  I know Kristin could feel it from New York and boy was she proud too!
-Jazz…can I just say high ponies equal Awesome! :) The energy and excitement I felt around the room was contagious. You lit up the floor and seemed to bring happiness to everyone in the room. You couldn’t help but clap along!
-Novelty…I really didn’t know what to expect, but the word that comes to mind is absolutely precious!  You brought the showmanship, the singing skills, you ended the day as strong as you started the day!
-There are so many more! That’s just a start!

Please give a BIG thank you to…
-Your Parents for the food, the props, the decorated locker room, the rhinestoning and discing, sitting in the hard bleachers all day long, for financially supporting you, emotionally supporting you, the list goes on.  We are so lucky and so blessed!  Give them a big hug and I love you!
-The Officers for everything they do for you and the coaches.  Thank you for not only the gifts, but the wonderful leadership.
-The Assistant Coaches because we are beyond so lucky to have them.  What they put into you girls and this team is way beyond their job description.  They care so much about you and this team and it is evident in everything that they do. 

Feel free to add postive comments / compliments / etc.
