Cheerleading Practice, The Gym, Wednesday after classes [10/6]

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Harper felt the need to burn off some energy, so she handwavily contacted the cheerleaders and wannabe cheerleaders to let them know that there would be a practice today.

"Hey guys! Welcome to cheerleading," she announced once everyone got there. "We're still trying to figure out a convenient date for tryouts, but for now, everyone is welcome to join us. I thought we could go over some cheers and practice some jumps so everyone's ready to do their best at tryouts." Considering that most of the squad had graduated, Harper figured they'd take just about everyone who showed up at tryouts anyway.

"So let's turn up the music, grab a pair of pom poms, and get ready to cheer!" finished Harper, bouncing in place.

Because warming up is important, but catching up on gossip is even more essential.

Rilla stood nervously over by herself, wondering if this had really been a good idea.

And that was Harper's cue to bounce over. "Hi! Are you going to be trying out for the squad?" she asked.

"I was thinking of it," Rilla admitted, "but I'm not entirely certain what cheerleading entails."

"Rilla!" Of course, seeing the other girl there made Ariel incredibly excited. "You're going to join the team, too?"

Re: Mingle -- Chat -- Stretch [10/6]

"I'm thinking of it," Rilla said, "but I do not know how to tumble, and the skirts are quite short."

K-Mart couldn't help but grin at the other girl's nervousness. She was pretty sure she'd been that nervous at first, too.

"Hi!" she said cheerfully, making her way over.

Re: Mingle -- Chat -- Stretch [10/6]

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Rilla replied. "I'm Rilla."

Ariel really didn't know what the other girls were doing at first, but, with a watchful eye, she started to imitate the stretching and, immediately, figured it out by the pulling, warming-up feeling in her legs.

Which was just way too neat and made her want to bounce around and cheer even more. Warming up was awesome!

Medusalith was also standing off to one side, looking like she wasn't sure this had been a good idea, and a little like an anthropologist observing a completely alien culture.

Harper gave her a reassuring smile. "Welcome to cheerleading practice!" she said, still bouncing with enthusiasm. "Are you going to be trying out for the squad?"

Re: Mingle -- Chat -- Stretch [10/6]

"I signed up," Medusalith said. "It's just all...those are very short skirts."

Re: Mingle -- Chat -- Stretch [10/6]

"So on a scale of one to this is a really freakin' bad idea, where are you at?" K-Mart asked cheerfully, hazarding a guess that maybe the other girl didn't entirely want to be there.

Help someone learn the cheers, or suggest some new ones of your own.

Robin dusted off his gremlin mask and made sure it didn't need any repairs.

Discuss Business [10/6]

Existing cheerleaders, why should we have tryouts?

Re: Discuss Business [10/6]

[awakestheghosts]

"We really need more people on the squad," Chloe said with a shy smile.

Re: Discuss Business [10/6]

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"Definitely," said Harper. "So far, I have liked what I've seen from the new people. I'd be happy to have all of them on the squad."

Who are more than welcome to hang out and watch, or use the gym for other stuff while watching.

OOC [10/6]

Cheerleading is back, and I am nearly as excited as Harper. :D

With fall break next week, we probably won't have tryouts until the week after, but I wanted to get the ball rolling. Existing cheerleaders, we have a planning post here (http://community.livejournal.com/go_gremlins/28568.html) to discuss tryouts.
