DAY THIRTY

Yesterday at practice was so succesful! We came in and made sure everyone knew their dance spots because one person had been changed earlier that practice. After that, we warmed up the routine as if we were at competition. Although some things were not going the right way, we went passed it and hoped it hit in the routine. We watched senior Gold and Cubz Gold before we went full out and they had performed well as well. When it was our turn, he had performed our routine the best that we have ever done up to date this far! We felt so accomplished and so happy.
Before practice Danielle and I went early to pull another prank on the coaches. We had written different notes to our coach on every single sticky note that we could find. Once we got to practice we went to started to sticky note the entire car! It was so good, when we heard that we were doing it, he came outside and he just started laughing. He had told us "that is pretty good but the war is on." Too bad, we are in the lead with us 2 and they have 1. Everyone was talking pictures it was so funny, they couldnt believe we actually did it.
Today I am leaving for Dallas with a few other people on my team and I am so excited, my plane leaves in 2 hours so we will be there 2 days early! I hope we do so well in Dallas and I know we can hit it.

This is a picture of one side of the car that we sticky noted with Danielle and I on top. (:

DAY TWENTY NINE

Yesterday at practice started out really well. At the beginning we taught some of the girls their new spots for the dance since we needed to fix it a little bit. Also, we fixed up the routine once again because one girl was not able to get a flight to Dallas.
After that we warmed up our routine and ran it full out like as if we were at this competition. It was good until we ran it full out our last time because people thought it was too hard and started crying. People on my team are drama queens and need to just relax and work hard. But I have practice today so hopefully it will get better by then.
This is a short entry since yesterday was not that good but we will do better and keep you posted!(:

DAY TWENTY EIGHT

Yesterday we had practice with the two other teams that will be going to Dallas this weekend for a competition. The three teams that are going are Cubz Gold, Senior Gold, and my team, Panthers.
When we got to practice, they had planned many games for us to play for us to work as a team and Panthers ended up winning both games. It was funny since we havent won first place at the two competitions that we have already been to.
For the first game the coaches made a square on the floor and each person on the team had to get inside the box and stay there without falling it out. It was really funny since we had everyone on top of each other and we squeezed. It was hilarious about hoe jammed packed we were. The next game we had two mates where we all had to get across the floor with each person not touching the actual floor. It was funny since, we were the only team that actually accomplished it and it took an hour.
After that since we needed to finish revising our routine we finished that and ran it full out. We hit every stunt with a full up and we all felt really good about it.
Once we finished practice, our coach took us outside to "talk" to us but since we had pegged water balloons at them at the last competition they decided to get us back. Rudy and Junior decided to take the water balloons and get us. Unfortunately they had hit every single one of us who were a part of the prank and a few others. But it is okay since we already have a plan for them for the next competition prank.

This is a picture of the people on my team who went to the fundraiser we did at the beach the day before. (:

DAY TWENTY SEVEN

Today was actually a lot of fun! Since we needed to raise money to go to Nationals in Dallas next weekend we went to the beach and did fundraising there.
We all wore black sports bras, black sliders, and a black bow which made us look like a team and actually feel like a team. This fundraiser definitely brought us closer together and it was a fun way to do it.
When we go to the beach we started doing stunts for the crowd that was enclosing on us as well as tumbling. We did stunts, pyramids, and tucks and fulls. Everyone loved us and we ended up earning 600 dollars even though we were only there for 2 hours. We felt so accomplished and it was exciting that we all bonded so well.
We ended up taking pictures with many of the people and we felt that a lot people were so supportive of us.
Also, when we stunted, not one of the stunts came down once and we hit every tumbling pass. It seems like we did so well and we even performed on the stage at the beach. Not one person fell in tumbling and each basket/pyramid/ and stunt hit perfectly.
It seemed that we bonded so well and we are now a team that works together! Today worked very well and people even decided to give us half prices on drinks and food.

DAY TWENTY FIVE

We revised today at practice and although it is pretty boring when we just change things around, it was not a bad practice and we still got a lot of things done!
In the beginning, it started out a little slow. We did stunts over and over again and then we went straight to working back in the new girl who we got last practice as well as the people who were hurt and could not compete with us last competition.
Because some of the people did not get put into their old spots and were actually really upset with the coaches, they explained that it is not all about them and they need to realize it is about what will look best on the floor.
We ran our routine six more times full out up to the point where we stopped working and changing things in it. Every time I did the routine I hit everything that they needed me to and it was really rewarding.
At the end of practice, my coach asked if I wanted to be a part of the stunt group team which I said yes to. There are 5 people on the floor and we do a whole routine of stunts. It is only going to be the last competition so that is good.

DAY TWENTY FOUR

Yesterday before practice I went to a pilates class instead of triforce class because it was full. I wanted to take the usual triforce class but there were already eleven people in the class and when I got there was still room for the pilates. I thought it was not going to be hard at all but it was still challenging at certain parts.
After this workout I went straight to cheerleading practice and it was actually a good practice. Even though we were missing three people from our team and they were practically core people, we decided to work out as well. After working out every core part of the body, our coach did an intense stretching with us. He worked with each of us to make sure we were getting a real workout since we could not do much as a team such as stunting.
Once we were stretched we did standing tumbling and jumps which was a lot of fun because it was very chill. Our coach was having fun with us rather than demanding like he usually is because we were all paying attention. he put on music and we danced as we did running tumbling and this practice was more of a team bonding which made it so much easier tog et through.
After watching the team who was practicing at the same time, he told us to circle up at the right time. We were all so happy we got out at the right time!
This practice was one of the best practices we needed.

DAY TWENTY THREE

Yesterday I had practice and we decided to make it earlier than normal to get things done. Even though everyone got there at 6, we did not actually start practicing till 7 (our normal time). It seemed like there was no need for us to come that early but it was nothing that we could have changed. But when we actually started to practice, it ended up being a pretty good practice.
We got a new girl who came in and she became on of our flyers which was really good. The flyer tried her best and it seemed that she was definitely a part of the team.
We practiced all of the stunts most of all and did jumps to tumbling as well. We hit all of our stunts and we did really well on the jumps. It seemed that this practice as actually really good and our team is moving in the right direction.
Also, our coach decided to make a fundraiser for us on the beach that we all have to go to so I hope that goes well and we all bond as a team a lot better. It seems that our team is not bonding and meshing together so I hope it all works out for the better of us.
