 Practice is cancelled for today due to inclement weather.  We will have practice Thursday as scheduled. 

PRACTICES BEING ADDED

FRIDAY, Jan 29

We are adding a practice Friday this week to replace the practice we are missing today.  There will be busses providing transportation for those that currently ride the bus. 

MONDAY Feb. 1

We are adding a practice Monday Feb. 1 from 3:00pm to  4:45pm. Busses will be provided for the students that verified they needed the bus at practice last night. The time the bus come will be different than usual so check with Coach Edens at practice on Thursday to find out what time your bus will come Monday.

SHOWCASE UPDATE

Our showcase will be held on Feb. 2, 2021 at Oak Park Middle School in the auxillary gym. All cheerleaders need to arrive in full uniform with poms no later than 5:30pm. We will begin warmups and then will be filming our routine. It may take more than one try to get it all on film so bring water! 

Cheerleaders are allowed up to 2 spectators each. At least 1 of the spectators must be an adult. All spectators of all ages are required to wear masks while on school property with no exceptions at all times. Parents may stay during practice and filming when bringing cheerleaders or may leave and return for the performance at 6:30pm. We are excited to be able to provide this opportunity for the girls to show off what they have been working so hard to do. In order to ensure we have the best possible outcomes we ask spectators to not talk to or distract the cheerleaders in any way during practice, filming, or performance. 

We will be live streaming the event and filming for those than are unable to attend.

Time: Filming from 5:30 to 6:30, Performance for spectators @ 6:30pm

Cheerleaders will need to be dropped off by 5:30 pm at Oak Park High School as we will not have after school supervision or transportation from Antioch. Parents can either stay and watch the recording session or may leave and come back at 6:30. All cheerleaders will need to be picked up no later than 7pm. 

We are currently trying to also arrange live streaming for our performance as well for those that cannot attend in person.
