The individual partner stunt event actually takes place on Friday 1/27, the day before the competition. Registration deadline for the individual cheerleader ($50) or the individual stunt group ($125) competitions is February 6th. Please see me ASAP if your child wants to compete. The jump-off (best 3 jumps) and tumble-off (best tumbling pass) is done at the competition and is $10 for one event or $15 for both.

Hair: LOW bun- part on left, bun on right (LOW).
It is the same style as our last competition, however SEVERAL squad members came with medium to high buns, rather than low.
Please ensure your child's bun is no more than an inch and a half from the nape of the neck.
To make the bun, please use a "hair bun donut", many scrunchis, or a sock to create a perfect sphere (unless the hair is extremely long--where you would braid or twist and then wrap around the base of the ponytail).
