THIS YEAR, WE’RE GOING TO CHANGE IT UP. INSTEAD OF EVERY VET GETTING A ROOKIE, WE WILL BE INTRODUCING FAMILIES. AS WE KNOW, THE TEAM STARTED OUT WITH 11 DANCERS, AND FROM THERE, OUR TEAM HAS GROWN. SOME BRANCHES HAVE DIED, BUT WE ARE GROWING THE ONES THAT WE CAN WITH MORE OF Y’ALL. SO THE WAY THAT IT WORKS IS THAT IF YOU HAD A LITTLE LAST YEAR, THEY ARE NOW A GRAND BIG. LAST YEAR, ROOKIES WILL NOW BE GETTING A LITTLE AS THEIR ROOKIE AND WILL BE CONSIDERED BIG. THIS WILL LOOK LIKE A LINE WITH GREATGRAND BIG, GRAND BIG, BIG, AND LITTLE. AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE:
JULIA—>LAUREN—>KENDALL—>BAILEY—>ABIGAIL—>ROOKIE
THE BIG WILL BE GETTING THE LITTLE, BUT EVERYONE WHO CAME BEFORE HER WILL BE SUPPORTING THAT LITTLE AS WELL.
WHEN IT COMES TO GIFTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, IT’S WITHIN YOUR “FAMILY” THAT YOU WILL DECIDE HOW THIS HAPPENS, BUT THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY IS TO GO IN A CIRCLE WITH WHO YOUR LITTLE ONE IS.
FOR THE REVEAL, THIS WILL BE AUGUST 7 IN 11 DAYS, WHICH IS ALSO TEAM PICTURE DAY, SO Y’ALL WILL BE LOOKING CUTE AND DRESSED UP IN ANY WAY.
WE WILL BE GOING THROUGH A GIGANTIC SIGN DROP. THESE WILL NOT BE INDIVIDUAL SIGNS MADE BY Y'ALL, BUT THE SOCIAL WILL BE MAKING A BIG SIGN MADE OUT BUTCHER PAPER THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH BIG AND LITTLE OR FAMILIES. VETS WILL STAND BEHIND THE SIGN, AND ROOKIES WILL BE IN FRONT OF IT.
EACH FAMILY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGNING AND DECORATING A SHIRT THAT Y’ALL WILL BE WEARING AS WELL AS GIVING IT TO YOUR LITTLE ONE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK Y’ALL TO MAKE A LITTLE GIFT BASKET FOR THE SHIRT TO GO INTO AS WELL AS SOME OTHER GOODIES.

HEY GUYS, I HOPE YALL ARE EXCITED FOR THE BIG AND LITTLE REVEAL. I MADE A VIDEO EXPLAINING HOW THIS WILL BE GOING DOWN, SO WATCH IT AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. IF YOU REMEMBER FROM CAMP, OUR SECOND DAY OF LEADERSHIP, THE MAIN IDEA WAS TRADITION, AND THIS IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE TRADITIONS. WE WILL BE TALKING MORE ABOUT THE LEGACY AND WHAT WE WANT TO LEAVE BEHIND AND CONTINUE TO GROW ON AUGUST 7TH!
I ALSO MADE A YOUTUBE VIDEO TO HELP EXPLAIN TO THE TEAM HOW THE REVEAL WOULD GO. I RECOMMEND GOING BACK INTO THE GROUP AND WATCHING IT TO SEE WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE OR KEEP FOR THE 25' TEAM.
ONCE I MADE THEIR FAMILIES I TEXTED THEM:
HOLA!!! YOU FAMILY LINE IS: HANNA(GRAND BIG)➡ ARIANA GUILLORY(BIG)➡ JOLEY CROW(LITTLE) JOLEY HAS A VERY BIG PERSONALITY FOR BEING A FRESHMEN ROOKIES SO I NEED YALL TO CALM HER DOWN AND MAKE SURE SHE IS LOVES AND LEARNS THE WAY OF A STORM DANCER.
IT HAS THEIR LINE AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ROOKIE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING FROM TEAM PRACTICES OR FROM THE OFFICERS IF THEY HAVE HAD ROOKIE PRACTICE.

POOL PARTY Summer Summer
THIS YEAR, WE HAD OUR SUMMER BONDING PARTY THE DAY BEFORE OUR TEAM PRACTICE BEFORE CAMP. THIS MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR MORE PEOPLE TO COME SINCE THEY HAVE TO BE THERE FOR CAMP AND PRACTICE.
AT THIS YEAR'S PARTY, WE SWAM AND DECORATED MINI FLOWER POTS. WE ALSO DID TRIVIA WITH KAHOOT, BUT IT KIND OF GAVE US A HARD TIME WITH HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU COULD ADD TO THE GAME, SO MAKE SURE YOU CHECK HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN JOIN BEFORE YOU PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO SOMETHING. LAST YEAR, WE SWAM, BROKE UP INTO GROUPS, MADE BOATS OUT OF CARDBOARD BOXES, AND RACED THEM.
WE ASKED THEM TO BRING A TOWEL AND A MODEST SWIMSUIT (IT COULD BE A TWO-PIECE). THERE WAS A SIGN-UP MESSAGE THAT WAS SENT IN THE MOMS GROUP CHAT ABOUT FOOD, DRINKS, AND SUPPLIES. THE PARTY WAS FROM 3-5, AND IT WAS A DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP EVENT SO THAT MOMS WEREN’T JUST LINGERING AROUND.

THIS HAS KIND OF BECOME A TRADITION ON STORM, OR AT LEAST I WOULD TRY TO MAKE IT ONE. BRINGING THE NEW CLASS OF ROOKIES TO A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT LIKE FREDDIES AND HANGING OUT WITH THE STORM GIRLS AND HAVING SOME GOOD FOOD. LAST YEAR, I PUT ALL OF THE ROOKIES IN A GROUP CHAT WITH THE SOCIALS AND THE COACHES SO I COULD SEND OUT THE DETAILS OF THE LUNCH AS WELL AS MAKE IT AN EVENT ON THE GROUP CALENDAR. THE NEXT 4 PAGES ARE WHAT I PRINTED OUT TO GIVE THEM TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THIS IS WHAT I TEXTED THEM LAST YEAR:
HEY ROOKIES!! JOIN THE SOCIALS FOR A LITTLE GETTOGETHER AT FREDDIE’S TO EAT SNACKS AND TALK ABOUT ALL THINGS STORM-RELATED. COME WITH ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, AND WE WOULD LOVE TO ANSWER THEM! THIS IS NOT MANDATORY, BUT IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO KNOW YOUR FELLOW GIRLS WHO ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU YOUR FIRST YEAR IN STORM!

Cfhs Storm Dance Team
Yall all are rookies trying to learn the way of the dance team and being on this team while also being a high school student Your job as a rookie is to learn and grow, which means you are a sponge trying to grasp everything you can What you put into this team is what you will get from it I encourage all of you to make the most of the dance team whether you are a freshman to our senior rookies This is the most challenging year, but I know that each and every one of you will be able to make it through this team and will have plenty of fun memories and stories to tell but before we can let the fun begin, we have to learn some of the rules of what it means to be a dancer at Fulshear High School
August-November
Tryout for every routine
Right after school, we head to the locker room and dance room to get makeup and hair ready for the game Bag checks within our squads
We take two busses to the stadium
Perform at every varsity football game
Every routine is performed twicehome and away
We sit in the stands and cheer and perform many stand routines with the band
Walk out on cadence to yard lines and that is the first "performance" of the night
Spirit line, clap for cheerleaders, fight song, national anthem
Halftime performance-head down to stretch and warm up before halftime
Visit with family under the stands after team performance
Continue to cheer and clap until the game is over Games can last up to 25 hours
Have fun but be polite (we are not the coaches of the game)
No talking during the games or sidelines
No hanging out with family or friends during the game unless it is after our performance
No eating in the stands
Overall Football season may become your favorite part of the dance team with the high-energy crowd and the love of football you may gain If you know nothing about football, you will certainly learn though the many hours of cheering and watching Fulshear play

DANCE OFFICERS & SOCIALS
Co-Captains:
Alli Gaston & Meghan Sury
Lieutenants:
Kateline Barr, Mia Buena, Breanna Butler, & Andrea Sanchez
President: Bailey Parker
Vice President: Ella Martin
Secretary: Addyson Boerger
Historian: Millie Steen & Natalie Kipping
Chaplain: Kimberly Matthews
All the officers are here to support the team and hype yall up The dancer officers may seem a little scary and harsh but they all want to see more in us and to push us
BUS RIDES
Whenever and wherever we go as a team we always take a bus to get around h-town There are no assigned seats to busses except the front for coaches, chaperones, managers, and any other supplies we might need depending on the performance Seniors have a thing called senior privilege which is a little silly but once you're a senior, you'll understand why it's a big deal because they'll want to sit at the back of the bus On the bus we might have announcements or team bonding activities Make sure to bring your air pods and homework on the bus
CONTEST SEASON
Every Saturday in February
Full day event
4 team routines
Try out for all routines
We travel across the Houston area and compete against teams in our division Solo and ensembles are welcome
Wake up early
Come ready with makeup and hair done
The coaches will send out a detailed list of the day's times and events of when we will be eating, stretching, performing, or even free time to bond with the team
We will be able to buy merch and extra food if there is time within our schedule, so make sure to bring extra $$$ Awards will happen late at night Awards may be very complex depending on the size and level of dance we compete in
There may not necessarily be first, second, or third placing, but instead, adjudication awards like gold, high gold, platinum, high platinum, and diamond
Family and friends are encouraged to come and watch
Eat lunch and dinner at the hosting school
We may be in one or two dressing rooms, and that is considered our home base where we change and get ready for the next dances
We might be able to watch other teams perform but it may not always fit into the schedule
Watch all of CFHS solos, duets, trios, and ensambles
We start learning our dances at the end of football season, even before we leave for Christmas break There is way too much to discuss about contest season, and you kinda gotta experience your first one to understand what it's all about This may become your favorite part of the dance team with the amount of precision placed on each dance along with the intricate technique that will show We will always perform: POM - Using pompoms we hit sharp movements to typically faster, upbeat music
Jazz- Sassy or dark, the facials and extra flair added to this style of dance Lyrical/Contemporary- Super flowy and emotional (We may either perform hip-hop or novelty depending on what the dance officers and coaches decide)
Costumes
We have a few costumes during football season that we will get sized for before our first performance We have a skirt, tank top, long sleeves, and a dress along with other clothing for football that may make it out of the closet Coach Sury will tell us what we are wearing to our game in our what-to-wear packet each week
The coaches will also tell us when to take home our uniforms to wash and you do need to buy a special type of detergent called Woolite detergent
We also wear a different costume for each contest routine but those are determined by officers and coaches
Cfhs Storm Dance Team

Goal of the Month Goal of the Month
IN MY 4 YEARS OF BEING ON THE TEAM, GOAL OF THE MONTH HAS NEVER BEEN SUCCESSFUL BUT IF YOU HAVE THE DETERMINATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE OTHER OFFICERS YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO IT.
I TRIED TO START THIS LAST YEAR AND HELP GET THE TEAM MOVING TOWARD A MORE ADVANCED STATE BUT IT WONT HAPPEN IN A YEAR!

Officer Dynamics Officer Dynamics
I KNOW ITS HARD TO FEEL INCLUDED SOMETIMES WHEN DANCE OFFICERS DONT REALLY HAVE SPECIFIC TITLE JOBS LIKE SOCIALS DO. BASICALLY IVE SEEN THAT SOME ISSUES GET STARTED WHEN WE DONT FEEL LIKE WE GET ENOUGH TEACHING TIME ETC.
SOOOOO, THIS IS AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY WE DO NOT HAVE SPECIFIC JOBS :)
DANCE OFFICERS ARE A GROUP A LEADERS WHO HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER CONSTANTLY TO TEACH, CHOREOGRAPH, PROBLEM SOLVE, ETC. MOST OF EVERYTHING WE DO HAS TO BE APPROVED BY EACH ONE OF US THROUGH THE CHAIN OF COMMAND ITS BETTER TO BE UNITED AND KNOW THAT EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE THAN SEPERATE AND DIVIDED.
EXPECTATIONS :
PLEASE COMMUNICATE ANY PROBLEM YOU HAVE WITH THE PERSON YOU HAVE IT WITH, PUSH EACH DANCER TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL, LEAD WITH RESPECT, AND ALWAYS UPHOLD S.T.O.R.M COVENANT.
During the 24-25 year, I sat down with the officers and made a list of all the expectations and goals we want for the new year to keep the team growing technically and emotionally.

THIS YEARS THEME AT CAMP IS:
THE Lab Lab
FROM CPD
AT THE LAB, WE BELIEVE EVERYONE CAN DEMONSTRATE TRUST, INTEGRITY, AND THE ABILITY TO LEAD WITH A SERVANT HEART. THIS ISN’T JUST A PLACE TO PERFORM, BUT A PLACE TO PROGRESS.
BOOST YOUR TEAM’S CHEMISTRY AT CP TEAM CAMP BY PUSHING BOUNDARIES AND BUILD MOMENTUM THROUGH UNBREAKABLE BONDS!
MEET YOU AT THE LAB IN 2024!
Key Info Key Info
TTHE MAIN WORDS THAT I FELT WERE WORTH NOTING WERE TRUST, INTEGRITY, SERVANT HEARTS, AND UNBREAKABLE. I DON’T KNOW HOW THESE WILL PLAY A ROLE IN YOUR DAYS AT CAMP, BUT I HAVE A FEELING THEY WILL BE BROUGHT UP A LOT IN LEADERSHIP AND TEAM BONDING ACTIVITIES THERE.
GOING ALONG WITH THE LAB THING, HERE ARE SOME LAB-TYPE THINGS I HEARD FROM THE PROMO VIDEO:
UNBREAKABLE BONDS
CULTIVATE TEAM CHEMISTRY.
HOW DO YOUR DAILY ACTIONS START POSITIVE CHAIN REACTIONS?

SQUAD Reveal Reveal
THIS WAS OUR SQUAD REVEAL FOR THE 2023-2024 TEAM: SO AT THE BEGINNING OF PRACTICE, WE HAD EVERYONE IN THE GYM PLAY GAMES: THE PREZ, VP, AND ONE HISTORIAN RAN.

IN THE DANCE ROOM, WE WILL HAVE A RUNWAY-TYPE FEEL, WITH FLOWER PEATLES AS THE RUNWAY AND THE DOOR AS THE WALK-WAY. EACH OFFICER HAD GOODIE BAGS THAT WOULD INCLUDE A RELATED SQUAD THEME ITEM, CANDY, AND A THEMED ITEM. THE SOCIAL OFFICERS WILL THEN RANDOMLY PLACE ALL OF THE GOODY BAGS IN THE HALLWAY, AND THE DANCERS WILL HAVE TO FIND THEIR BAG AND GET INTO THEIR SQUADS. THEY WILL THEN TAKE EVERYONE TO THE DANCE ROOM AND HAVE THEM SIT WITH THEIR SQUAD. EACH OFFICER WILL HAVE A WALK-UP SONG AND WILL DO A LITTLE STRUT DOWN THE RUNWAY. THEN WE’LL PLAY GAMES THAT INVOLVE DIFFERENT CHALLENGES BETWEEN SQUADS. LIKE THE CHANT GAME AND THE HUMAN NOT.
DATE: LAST PRACTICE 5/17
