Something New for the JV!!

Good Morning All!!!

Since I went into this season expecting three groups and we've ended up with just two, I've had to make a few adjustment to our concept and design for the JV show.

....actually.... I've changed it altogether.

I wanted to pick something very specific that would fit the group we have.  Since the overall theme of all the Bordeaux Winterguard shows this year is Body and Movement, I knew I needed to pick something that would lend itself to a lot of movement, but that still has a beat that moves and doesn't stagnate.

You guys already know I love modern music divas who know how to work a stage.  So, what better way to turn our JV ladies into moxilicious DIVAS than with a modern DIVA to model ourselves after?

Plus.... this video.... it's the epitome of good movement fundamentals.

So.... here's the REAL 2015 Bordeaux JV show title:  "Something in the Water"

Ya'll know I have a borderline obsession with Carrie Underwood.

You can go straight to the YouTube link HERE.

We're also going to wear this costume, in teal:

Can we PLEASE get excited about this????  I'm super READY to start working on this!!!!!!  Get ready girls!!!!!  It's going to be wonderful!!!!

Drum roll PLEASE....

Tryouts are TODAY!!!!!

Here are a few last minute reminders before this afternoon:

2-  After the auditions are finished, you are to LEAVE the band hall area.  I will NOT post results until I know the building is empty.

3-  Audition results will be posted in two places:  On the Band Hall Door and on this blog.  The results will be posted on the Band Hall Door before they are posted on the blog.  I will post the results for all 3 ensembles in a SINGLE blog entry.

4-  Remember that you need your WHITE T-SHIRT/TANK TOP, BLACK SHORTS, AND BLACK LEGGINGS for auditions.  Guard shoes may be worn, but barefoot is preferred (exception: majorettes: wear your dance shoes or cougars - whichever you have).

5-  For those of you who make the Varsity or JV ensembles, the body clinic previously scheduled for Saturday has been cancelled.  There are NO PLANS OR ACTIVITIES scheduled for any Bordeaux Ensemble on Saturday, November 15th.

6-  Please remember that the decision of the judges is final and is not up for dispute, as per the terms of your pre-audition contract.  Also remember that your contract is a commitment to participate in the Bordeaux Winterguard's 2015 season, REGARDLESS of what ensemble you are placed in.  You will be placed where the judges feel you should be placed based on your skill level at the time of auditions.  

Finally:  GOOD LUCK!!!!!!  I'm proud of how much each of you has already grown through the audition process, and it is the GROWTH that matters!!!  Strut your stuff, work your MOXIE, and show those judges what New Albany's Auxiliary units are all about!!!!!
