Celebrities Drill Team Tryouts are Spring of 2016!
MANDATORY MEETING: JANUARY 28TH, OR FEBRUARY 8TH @ 7pm
at the MISD Performing Arts Center
Tryout Clinic: TBD
Tryout Date: APRIL 8-9TH
It is never too early to start thinking about next year. Do you love to dance? Do you want to be a part of an organization that represents spirit, class, and rhythm in every way possible? Then you and your family should start preparing for becoming one of the High Stepping, High Kicking, National Award Winning Celebrities.
What should you be doing NOW to prepare for tryouts?
Strive for A’s and B’s.
You should never come close to failing as a Celebrity...you are no use to the TEAM if you fail! if your grades aren't that great now, start practicing good study/work habits. You have to balance a lot as a Celeb, and your grades MUST be passing to stay on the team!
Enroll in a dance class!
Take one of the GREAT dance classes offered through THS (see Ms. Wilkins and she will help you get in one). You can also take technique and drill team prep classes at a local dance studio.
Practice Performing.
Practice performing dance moves and technique in the mirror. Work on PERFORMING those moves with energy and attitude. Celebs are known for their personality and precision in dance. Get comfortable with dancing in front of an audience!
Start saving up.
Celebrities can add up. Rookies (1st-year members) usually pay around $900-$1000 their first year. Fundraisers are given BUT it will not cover the up front costs at the beginning of the year.
Time Management.
Celebrities do not have an off-season. We practice almost every day until 5:00pm.
Commitment.
We expect to stay together until graduation. We all rely on each other to be there until the end……….and our end is GRADUATION! Even after graduation, Celebs still come back and support their sisters. "Once a Celebrity, ALWAYS a Celebrity."
Get in Shape!
The Celebs work out daily in class on abs, legs, cardio, and technique. Our uniforms make it difficult to hide from poor nutrition habits. Practice drinking water, exercising, and dancing now so you are able to fit right in!
Your Image is EVERYTHING.
Teachers play a big role in try-outs. You should be that student every teacher WANTS in class. Participate in class. Be polite. Don’t miss school. Don't get AC. Don't post obscene or inappropriate material on social media. Never make excuses. Accept consequences when you do wrong. Be honest to everyone!
Stay Connected!
Attend Celebrity-sponsored events, such as clinics, recitals, etc. Become a part of the Celebrity hopeful email list by giving your email to Ms. Wilkins. Check the Celebrity website and facebook for important updates and reminders.
