november birthdays!!!
November is an especially cozy month for a birthday, perfect for daylong fires in the hearth, soul-warming soups, stews, and especially rich late-harvest cakes, and pies. This month marks fall in full bloom, an important time of transition and tradition, characterized by the drawing near of friends and family — due both to lower temperatures and the closeness of the holiday season. Perhaps best of all, the end of daylight saving time on Nov. 7 gifts us all a much-needed extra hour of sleep. November birthday babies also happen to be recipients of some remarkable personal characteristics and birthday benefits.
People with November birthdays are strong and athletic. Most November babies are Scorpios (Oct. 23 and Nov. 22), natural truth-seekers known for utilizing a unique blend of creativity and intelligence to fight for what they believe in. A Scorpio’s ambition can sometimes feel intimidating, but their efforts aren’t all about personal gain — a Scorpio lives to advance causes they believe will benefit everyone, and are well known for displaying bravery to help close friends. Also quite charming and adventurous, Scorpios love displaying their professional capabilities via highly visible accomplishments. Those born after Nov. 22 fall under the sign of Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21), a philosophical, open-minded bunch with grand, but considerate, senses of humor.

THE following is in effect and will be strictly enforced
UNEXCUSED MISSED PRACTICES/EVENTS:
If you leave practice early: You will sit out for the same amount of time you leave early and collectively this can add up over time.
If one practice is missed= Verbal explanation of violation, warning against future consequence and cheerleader will show up at the next scheduled game in full uniform and sit out a portion of a game with her/his coach. However long will be up to discretion from the coach.
If two practices are missed= Verbal explanation of violation, warning against future consequence and cheerleader will show up at the next scheduled game in full uniform and will sit out the entire game and meet with the athlete and parent to discuss disciplinary action, probation, and action plan.
Continuous absences will result in removal from the program. Please do not commit to our team if you can not attend practice regularly
ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY:
Cheerleaders must maintain a 2.0 GPA or higher in order to participate in our program. Any member failing to meet this standard will be put on academic probation for 6 weeks. During this time the member is not eligible to perform at any event, but he/she must still attend all events to support their team. Once the 6 week probation is up, if the student’s grades are above a 2.0, they may rejoin the team's activities. If not, the cheerleader will be removed from the cheer team.

What goes into a cheer competition?
It really all depends on the type of show you want. A cheer event can be done in a high school gym, which is great for smaller, more regional one-day events. You have to look at the number of teams and gyms in a certain area and then do the math on how many you think you could get to your event, knowing how much the cost of the venue is and everything else. I’m not going to go and rent out the Staples Center in Los Angeles if I know that I’m only going to get 10 teams.
How do you get teams to register for a cheer event?
You very much have to convince cheer teams to come to your event. You have to convince gym owners and directors to try new and different cheer events, especially in new markets. It’s important to give them things that they’re actually looking for and that cheer parents and athletes look forward to.
What goes into the production of a cheer event?
Like the venues, it depends on what product you want to put out. Smaller, one-day events have a basic production, where we hang up the backdrop and have a couple of flashy lights. It’s not a huge logistical hurdle because there’s not that much involved. When you get into the larger events, companies will go all out: think LED walls, LEDs on the ceiling, and all kinds of crazy bells and whistles. You want to build the production so that it makes people’s jaws drop and that they remember it and they can’t stop talking about it.
