Cheers/Chants

[Turbine]

...as I work to rebuild our cheer program.

Very interesting and telling.

...I have also been working on improving our mascot program as well, so you will see Cayenne more involved in games, events and community functions.

OK so you win some, you lose some.

Awesome. Great response and it's a relief to find out that someone appears to be on top of it. If you are standing still, you are dead. We must continue to get better at everything, including cheers.

You'll find alot more people "on top of it" with the hiring of the 10 new athletic staffers.

Its just beginning to get good now.

_ Well, I got a response earlier this morning, and a very good response at that...

I'm going to send her a reply this afternoon when i get a chance thanking her for her time and hard work, and commenting a little further on some of the comments and suggestions you guys put forth. I'll also try to probe a little as to what some of the road blocks in creating/performing the chants and cheers and stuff, and report back here. Perhaps this sort of beaurocratic BS is from an old regime, and the new regime isn't aware of it, and we can make enough calls and e-mails to get it taken out of there. Just another thing that we've never heard of and is micromanaged way too much for its own good, and subsequently prevents growth and progress of the school. Its a shame that this sort of thing has worked its way down so far as to effect something as miniscule as cheerleading.

I'll report back when I hear back from her.
Thanks again for your suggestions. _

a good suggestion to her would be to print out some flyers to hand out at the gates. HAve these flyer ask the fans to participate and explain what they should cheer and when.

I don't know if you remember her, Z, but Michelle was a big part of the Fan Day planning and execution.

CajunMAMA, if you have any influence with Ms Bernard, we certainly could use some help in getting our request noted.
