Updates

Good afternoon everyone!

With football season coming to an end, we are now transitioning into our preparations for contest season.

Please get all parts of the field uniform dry cleaned and turned back in to the uniform closet by Monday, December 5th... we will not wear these uniforms again until Spring Show so now is a good time to get them cleaned and put away!

We will continue practicing at 8:00 am every morning until Christmas Break. The girls will be learning their contest hip hop routine after school on Friday, December 9th starting at 4:30 pm. We will try to get finished with that choreography by 7:30... please make arrangements to stay after that day! Also remember that the girls will be trying out for contest routines during the 1st period semester exam.

There will be a UIL grade check with the report card grades coming up in a few weeks - you must be eligible at this grade check to participate in contest season!! Make sure you are taking care of your grades in the next few weeks before Christmas Break!!

Please let me know if you have any questions!!

Play-off Game #3

Good afternoon everyone! Here is the initial information about our next game:

Killeen HS vs. Wichita Falls Rider HS
Date: Saturday, 11-26-11
Time: 2:00 p.m.
Stadium: Vernon Newsom in Mansfield, TX

As soon as we know about buses, I will pass along a report time and other information about food, etc. We will be doing the hoop routine.

As of right now, the forecast shows it should be a pretty nice day. We will plan to wear sleeves, but make the final decision the day of the game. Effective immediately: Kangarettes need to wear a tank top under field uniform. You should already have some type of undershirt on under your jersey that you wear on the bus, so plan to leave that on under your uniform.
