Harper took a while to get the gym set up just the way she wanted, with plenty of gym mats, copies of the cheers and routines the squad used, and really loud fast-paced music to generate some excitement. Don't worry, she'll shut the music off if it becomes too much a distraction.

Welcome to cheerleading tryouts!

Harper set up the mats as usual for practice. She also brought art supplies with her today and set up a poster-making corner of the gym, if anyone wanted to get a head start in making posters to promote tryouts.

But she was going to take the opportunity to warm up for a while before getting to the posters because it was still so cold outside.

Chloe had gotten to the gym early to set up practice for the squad. She figured that it would be a good chance for them to talk and make plans now that the holiday madness was over. She had some ideas for them to do as activities and she might even talk about them ( Read more... )

Harper figured that the squad could use some fun after last week's scary events and this week's exhausting finals. It took some planning to put her scheme into place, but by Wednesday afternoon, there was a trampoline set up in the gym.

Harper set up the mats as usual, but today she also had supplies for another optional activity. "I thought we could practice face-painting on each other," she squealed to the rest of the squad. "After all, what better way to show team spirit than wearing your team colors on your face ( Read more... )

Harper wasn't sure if many people would stick around after classes for practice, especially if they were going home for the extra-long weekend. But she wanted to get a good work-out in so she had extra room in her tummy for Thanksgiving goodies.

The mats were out, the music was blaring, and the gym was ready for the cheerleaders to do their thing!

Harper had been in a bit of a daze all week. She wasn't sure why, but all she could think about was kissing boys. She was still daydreaming when she started setting up for practice, which is why the set up mats all over the gym until she ran out. Someone had forgotten how many cheerleaders to expect.

Harper was happy to have practice today. She was already bouncing off the walls from her sugar high after Halloween and needed a chance to work off the extra energy ( Read more... )

K-Mart was glad she didn't have class on Wednesdays and had switched her work day to another day. These two things gave her more than ample opportunity to get to the gym in time and make sure everything was set up.

Oh, and to handwavily call Savannah and flail for a few minutes.

But mostly to get everything set up.

Yay, cheerleading tryouts!

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 ( Read more... )
