To those who tried out and were not added to the team roster this year,

THANK YOU for all of your hard work, and for your support of

the HMS Flygirls Dance Team.

This was one of the toughest tryouts we have ever had! 
You all did a WONDERFUL job and should be very proud of yourselves.

Keep working hard, and please come back and tryout again next year!

**NEW TEAM MEMBERS**

Do not forget the MANDATORY team meeting scheduled for 

Monday, May 13^th at 6PM in the HMS cafeteria!

You will receive an e-mail this weekend with further details.

Tryout Videos!

As a coach, I cannot say enough how PROUD I am of all of these awesome young ladies! They have really been working hard, and it truly shows! 

To help them as they practice at home (because I know they all are), 

here are the links to the videos of their tryout routines.

Tomorrow is the last day of clinics before TRYOUT DAY on Thursday! 

Good luck, ladies! You will do GREAT! 

 All the best~

It's TRYOUT time! Eek! :)

Next week is TRYOUT WEEK for the HMS Flygirls' 2013-14 team!

This is one of the most exciting (and nerve-racking) times for these girls, 

so here are a few quick reminders (and tips) for a successful tryout week!

1. Remember to turn in ALL of your forms on Monday! You cannot tryout without them! 

(3rd Qtr. grade reports, sports physicals, proofs of residence, application, and parental consent forms)

2. Remember to arrive ON TIME for tryout clinics and tryouts! 

(Clinics are Mon., May 6- Wed., May 8 from 4:15-5:45 PM in the gym; 

Tryouts are Thurs., May 9 from 4:15-approximately 6:15PM in the band room.)

3. Practice your routines after the clinics each day when they're fresh on your mind! 

(Coach Baker will e-mail everyone the music after Monday's clinic.)

4. To go an extra step, write down all of your choreography to help you remember even better!

5. Even better than all of that... write down the routines AND practice with a FRIEND! 

Everything is more fun with a friend! :)

6. Make sure to get lots of sleep, eat healthy foods, and breathe A LOT during tryout week!

7. Don't forget to eat a snack before clinics and tryouts, and make sure to bring your water with you!

8. Make sure you are dressed appropriately and leave your phones off during tryouts and clinics.

9. Don't forget to check the calendar and the Facebook page for the OFFICIAL team list on Friday, 

and check both often for important info and dates!

10. Most importantly... have a BLAST! Dancing is hard work, but it is also SUPER fun!  

Don't let stress get the best of you. Enjoy this week, do your best, and no matter what, 

you will feel PROUD of yourself. 

The HMS Flygirls is not just a TEAM... we are a FAMILY.

Thank you for your interest in and support of this team, 

and we wish you the VERY BEST OF LUCK

as we begin yet another tryout week, and enter our 5th season!

Go FLYGIRLS!

DANCE for a Cure!

Last year, the HMS Flygirls decided to make it a tradition to "dance for a cure" and participate as a team in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

As a coach, I feel it is important for the girls not only to learn to work together as a team, but also to learn to work together to represent their school and help others through charitable deeds.

 This time last year, my dad's oldest sister was fighting a battle with breast cancer. Last October, she lost her battle. Recently, a friend of mine was also diagnosed with breast cancer. So personally, this cause is very close to my heart.

 So, I would like to invite you to join our 5k walking team at our second annual "dance for a cure," as we walk in the 2012 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Saturday, September 30, 2012.

 If you cannot participate, would you please help us and donate on our behalf through our team?

 Please follow the instructions below to find our team fundraising site:
1. Go to: http://www.komenchattanooga.org/komen-race-for-the-cure/teams/
2. Click “Join an existing team.”
3. Either type in the team name “Hunter Middle Flygirls” OR find the company name “Hunter Middle School” 
4. Click “Hunter Middle Flygirls Dance Team” (in blue) when it shows up from your search.
5. You will then be on our team page, where you can either click, “Donate to this team,” or “Join Hunter Middle Flygirls Dance Team.”

 Thank you so much for your time, and for helping us as we "dance for a cure!"

 All the Best,
Coach Baker

Hip Hop Camp 2012

The HMS Flygirls really 

ROCKED IT OUT 

at hip hop camp this week!

Our fabulous choreographers, 

Travis & Kaitlin

(aka TRAVIEKAT),

completely knocked our socks off this year!

We wish we could show you our awesome dance routine, 

but unfortunately...

You'll have to wait until our first competition!

Until then, check out some pictures of the girls,

working their HARDEST at camp!
