SPIRIT WEEK 2017 January 30-February 3 Purpose The purpose of Spirit Week is for class members to work together to build class pride through vigorous but friendly competition against other classes. Each day’s activities should increase class pride, involvement, and enthusiasm. All activities should fit with the mission of Westminster, which is to honor Jesus Christ.

Competitions Dress-up contests daily Games during pep rallies Art Board, Film Project, Boys Poms, and Lip Sync competitions Changes Major and minor changes are made from year to year as a result of suggestions from students and faculty. The Spirit Club introduces these changes to best serve the purpose of Spirit Week.

As the week progresses, the Spirit Club reserves the right to make certain changes in the guidelines for any activity if there is reason to believe that these changes will better serve the purpose of Spirit Week. Proper and timely communication of the changes will be made to the classes and sponsors.

New for 2017 1. Any single prop or instrument item must be able to be carried by one person (not rolled) and fit through a single door frame. On Community Night, students will be carrying props very rapidly from the Arena to the Blue Gym. 2. Due to limited interest and participation, the multi-grade Blue Man Stomp performance has been canceled this year.

3. Subtitles will be required for all Film Project submissions.

Questions and Concerns Any individual with a question or concern must first approach the appropriate Class Sponsor or the Student Life Office. If the matter needs clarification or ruling beyond his/her own scope, he/she will take the matter to the Spirit Club Sponsor.

Spirit Club Sponsor – Sara LaBarre Spirit Club Officers – Lexi Jo Alm, Amanda Enger, Brooke Lang, Abby Ruckman Master of the Practice Schedule – Susie Brown Spirit Club Faculty- Ashley Woodall and Maggie Moore Parent Volunteer Liaison – Lisa Rupprecht

Extracurricular Music Guide Teachers, advisors, coaches, and student leaders planning to use music in any function outside the classroom should follow these general guidelines: 1. Generally speaking, any music by Christian bands – those bands promoted as “Christian” – may be played, unless specific portions of the song would not meet the other criteria outlined within these guidelines.

2. Music by bands not professing to be Christian may be played but must be reviewed carefully. References (implicit or explicit) to violence, drugs, or sex will disqualify a song.

Songs with multiple versions, one of which is explicit, will be disqualified.

3. Any profanity will disqualify an entire song.

4. A song that repeatedly or prominently uses questionable language or words with a great deal of “shock value” for some younger audiences should also be avoided.

5. Bands with a general reputation for music about violence, drugs, or sex should not be approved.

Thursday Night Performance No single event brings the entire Westminster community together like our annual Spirit Week.

This tradition has become known beyond our immediate community and draws many spectators, especially to the final competitions near the end of the week.

A special performance of each of these events will be held for all parents, guests, and members of the greater Westminster community on Thursday evening, February 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the Westminster Arena and also concurrently in the Blue Gymnasium. A ​ ll groups will perform in both locations in the same order. They will perform in one location and then in the second location about 5-10 minutes later.

No scores will be announced prior to the last pep rally on Friday. The top two winners in Boys Poms and Lip Sync will perform after the Friday night basketball game. In addition, performances will be broadcast online following afternoon pep rallies on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Dress-Up Guidelines Dress-ups will be counted during a random class period each day. The students will NOT be told when this is happening or if it has already happened that day. If a student’s dress-up is not obvious, it will not be counted.

For absentee counting: If juniors want to be counted during their Junior Privilege, they must check in with the Academic Hub at the beginning of the period. If that happens to be the period that is counted, the juniors will be included in the totals. If they do not check in, no one will count them. If a senior wants to be counted during Senior Privilege, he or she must check in with the Academic Hub before signing out. If that happens to be the period that is counted, that senior will be included in the totals.

Dress-Up Rules 1. Modesty guidelines still apply during Spirit Week.

2. No cross-dressing.

3. No negative costumes.

4. No weapons – not even fake ones!

FRIDAY – BLUE AND WHITE DAY Each student should have both blue and white in an obvious way on his or her clothing to be counted. Face painting alone does not count.

Scoring Dress-Ups / Games Dress-ups and games will be scored daily with 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10 being the points for the respective places. In case of a tie, the points earned for the places will be added together, divided, and awarded.

MONDAY Chariot Relay You will need: ● 8 students (4 pullers, 4 riders) ● 1 blanket (provided by Spirit Club) How to play: Each team of puller and rider races from the starting line to the end marker, around the line judge and back. Four teams from each class must complete this route. If the rider falls off, no progress can be made until the rider is back on the blanket. The first class with all 4 teams finished wins. Note: There will be two timed heats.

Ships and Sailors You will need: ● 8 students (4 female students, 4 male students) How to play:

The captain, potentially an MC, will be announcing different commands out to his crew (the students). Each command requires a different movement and must be completed before the 3,2,1 countdown to stay in the game. Note: The captain may count down as quickly or slowly as desired.

Commands: ● Sailors sail west - run to the Grand Entry side of the Arena ● Sailors sail east - run to the Plaza side of the Arena ● Hit the deck - drop to the ground with stomach on the floor ● Captain’s on Deck - stand at attention until Captain says “At Ease” ● Man overboard - 2 students: one kneels and looks one direction (hand shielding eyes), the other stands with hand on partner’s shoulder and looks the other direction ● Three men eating - 3 students face each and pretend to eat ● Four men on guard - 4 students link arms with backs to each other and sit down ● Five men rowing - 5 students get in a line, sit down, and pretend to row Scoring The game will stop when only 10 players remain. Scoring results (60, 50, 40, etc.) are based on how many of each grade level remain. The game resumes until only 3 contestants are left and each earns 10 bonus points for their class.

The Floor is Lava You will need: ● 6 female students ● 6 male students ● 3 carpet squares (provided by Spirit Club) How to play: Each grade will be given 3 carpet squares and they must get all 6 people as fast as they can across the gym without touching the floor. Each grade will have a judge following them to avoid cheating, and if a team steps on the ground, the leading carpet square group must go back to the last square and start from there. There will be two heats: the male students will cross the gym floor in one direction and the female students will trade with them at the end and return the same distance across the floor.

Ultimate Chicken You will need: ● 7 students (at least 3 team members must be female students) ● 1 chicken (provided by Spirit Club)

How to play:

Ultimate Chicken is a non-contact sport where there are 7 players on the court for each team at a time. Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone line.

The defense throws the stuffed chicken across court to the other team to begin the game. The team with the chicken has to move the chicken down the court into the other end zone by throwing the chicken, but with no running after the catch. Once the chicken is caught, the player must stop and throw to another teammate until they reach the endzone. When a pass is not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception, stalled), the defense immediately takes possession of the chicken and becomes the offense.The team with the chicken is trying to get the chicken into the other end zone and score while the other team is trying to stop them. A player must have both feet in the end zone on the catch to qualify as a point.

The simpler explanation for this game is: ultimate frisbee with a chicken.

Each match will last two minutes, and the team who scores more points in those two minutes advances to the next round. The juniors and seniors have a first round bye.

Tug o’ War

TUESDAY Mattress Surfing Race You will need: ● 20 students as “rollers” ● 2 students as “surfers” ● Twin-sized mattress (provided by Spirit Club) How to play: Ten students will lie on the floor shoulder-to-shoulder, and the mattress will be placed on top of them. The students under the mattress will roll to allow the mattress to move across the floor.

As the mattress moves further along, the students near the end will have to get up and run to the front of the line. Once the mattress crosses the gym floor, the rollers and surfer will trade spots and a new 10 rollers and 1 surfer will send the mattress back across the gym. Note: There will be two timed heats.

Shoe Relay You will need: ● 8 students (4 female students, 4 male students) wearing closed toe shoes How to play: The students start at one end of the gym with their shoes off. Line judges will collect their shoes and mix them all up in 4 different containers. When the whistle sounds, one player will run down to the other side of the gym and find the correct shoes as fast as possible. Any shoes that do not belong to the student must be returned to the container and not left on the floor. Students must put on their shoes immediately and then run back to the team to tag the next player to go.

Once all the players on the team have retrieved their shoes, everyone on the team sits down to signal that they have finished.

Caterpillar Race You will need: ● 2 students (1 as caterpillar, 1 as guide) ● 1 sleeping bag (must be shown to Class Sponsor on Tuesday morning) How to play: At the whistle, the caterpillar puts the sleeping bag over his/her head and starts at the gym baseline. By some means (e.g., somersaults, rolling or scooting, but not walking/running), he/she travels the length of the gym to the line judge. The guide is there to verbally assist the caterpillar but not to move or turn him/her. Note: The caterpillar will only travel one length of the gym and will not return to the starting point.

Dress Up Relay You will need: ● 6 students (3 female students, 3 male students) ● Assorted clothing items (provided by Spirit Club) How to play: The students will gather at one end of the gym. At the whistle, the first person will put on all the clothing items as quickly as possible, run to the other side of the gym, run around the line judge, and run back to the starting line. The next person will take the same clothes and put them on.

This will continue until all 6 students have completed the relay.

Tug o’ War

WEDNESDAY Blindfolded Musical Beach Balls You will need: ● 3 students How to play: Students will be blindfolded and standing on an area made of rugs. When the music plays, students may dance, but they must find a seat when the music stops. The seats will be beach balls that will change locations continually (moved by the line judges) during the song. Students will have to feel around to find a beach ball and claim a seat. All beach balls will remain on the rug area. The last one(s) to find a seat will be removed from the game.

Scoring The game will stop when only 10 players remain. Scoring results (60, 50, 40, etc.) are based on how many of each grade level remain. The game resumes until only 3 contestants are left and each earns 10 bonus points for their class.

Film Project Official Viewing: 9-12 Scoring See previous page for rules and scoring.

Tug o’ War

THURSDAY Hula Hoop Line You will need: ● 25 students ● 1 hula hoop (provided by Spirit Club) How to play: Twenty-five students join hands in a row. At the whistle, the hoop is put on the shoulder of the first player. The goal is to maneuver the hoop down the row of players, using no hands, over the heads and stepping over it. If hands are used or hands are released, the hoop is brought back to the first player and play starts over for that team. Time is stopped when the hoop hits the floor after the 25​th​ student.

Boys Poms Students will perform an original pom routine. Middle school squads may be coached by parents, teachers, or students. Upper school squads must only be coached and choreographed by current students.

Penalty Points The object of Spirit Week is for class members to work together to build class pride through vigorous but friendly competition against other classes.

Tampering with or deliberately destroying any part of another class’ or their own class’ Art Board or props 2. Disrespect toward or disruption of another class during games or any other time 3. Poor sportsmanship Reports of any kind of infringement will be brought to the attention of a Spirit Club Sponsor by a teacher. Points will be deducted immediately or after consultation with other Spirit Week officials.

Penalty points will be subtracted from class totals on the day of the infringement.
