I am so excited about this year! And excited to introduce to you our new website! I hope you all love it as much as I do! I am hoping to update it more regularly and showcase as much of your smiling faces as I can! 

This is going to be my little drill team blog- where I can begin to let you know and understand the inner workings of this drill team director's mind. Hopefully the reality of that won't be as scary as the idea sounds. 

We are off to a great start of the year! We had a very successful Sonic fundraiser and are already preparing for our 4th game of the season! It seems like summer camp was only yesterday. Well, you know what they say about time flying...we are having fun!

Right now, in the middle of football season, the Bailadoras are performing with perfection week after week with minimal rehearsal time. This has not been an easy task for many of our team members, and facing the disappointment of not making a dance has proven difficult for some. My goal each and every year is to teach life to my students, and as we know life is not always what we imagine or desire it to be. As adults we realize that life is hard! We want to protect our kids from life's hardships. We want to teach them that they can be anything that they want to be, that the sky is the limit. We want to protect them from failure; we want them to be creative and ambitious, and most of all we want them to be happy. But what I've learned as my life journey has developed, and most recently as I've turned the page into motherhood, life is part luck, part ambition, part passion, and a whole lot of what you make it! Happiness is what you want it to be. You will face failures and disappointments in life, but how you recover from those determines the kind of person you are and how happy you can be. One of my favorite quotes is from Confucius "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." I truly believe that the sky is the limit for these girls. They really are special! But what will make them successful in life is going to be a balance of it all- that they can face difficulties and not shy away- that they can say "You didn't like what I just presented to you? Ok, I will do better next time." This will set them apart from so many others in their generation who simply say "Don't you know how special I am?" Our girls are going to show you how special they are! And when an employer wonders- "wow, what helped you become so different from others your age?" She can respond "Drill Team!"

Love your philosophy, dedication and belief in your girls and so happy that Tori is a part of this team. It has been an amazing experience for her and the values, work ethic, self confidence and friendships she has developed over the past few years will shape her life for years to come. I can't thank you enough for the positive influence you've been in her life.

Tough teams last. And they do last if they have a mentor as dedicated and as passionate as you. Kids have talents, but to achieve and maximize these talents they need someone to believe in them. Someone who will see and tell them how special they are. Kids with amazing talents should have a great support system so they can push there talents beyond their limits. To explore other things that they can do. I salute people like you, who share their time and effort to shape the future of our youth. You make this world much nicer to live in.
