June 19th: *** Message from – Jay Hooper…we still need to fundraise as well. We have got to complete three fundraisers before school begins. For those that have sent out ideas…thanks! We could possibly have a big (Garage Sale) a couple of weeks before college students go back to school. Other suggestions: joining Aramark (working concession stands @ sporting events), carwashes, a community auction or a BBQ Dinner or Fish Fry. Ideas? Special Thanks to Cindy Larson for taking time out of her day to go during practice and measure our girls for their Fall Outfits! |

Dear Cy-Fair Color Guard Family,

June 11th: Color Guard Family, There is an opportunity to see a local drum and bugle corps show this summer, right in our own Berry Center Stadium! One of our own graduates, Ryan Page will be marching with one of the drum corps color guard. Let's get out and support her and watch a great show! We need at least 20 to get a group discounted tickets...$20. The show is on Thursday, July 17th at 7 P.M. This is also a good opportunity to learn more about marching with a color guard. No transportation will be provided, but I would like us to sit as a group. Please email me (Mrs. Williams) ASAP if you can attend. You will need to pay for your ticket on Wednesday, June 11th. Thanks! Edie Williams |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

June 10th: Uniform Reminders: This is just a reminder that the Fall Uniform Amount of $113.00 which includes gloves is due today or by the latest, next Wednesday, June 11th (during practice). Please make arrangements to get the funds to Mrs. Williams as soon as possible. ***There is a training session from 2:45 P.M. - 4:45 P.M. Assistance with Measuring the Girls: Also, if there are any Moms that are free next Wednesday, June 11th before practice, Mrs. Williams needs assistance in getting the girls measured for their unitards next week. If you can assist, please let me know. Thanks! Happy June Birthdays To: Guard Members - Marina N. 6/15, Claire 6/29, Brooke B. 06/28 & Katherine 06/11 Guard Parents - Zenobia K. 06/01, Sheila Wolf 06/27 |

Notes: 03-07-2008 On Friday Night (Taylor H. S. Competition), Rhonda Hallard, Kris Benson and Don Page were chaperons. We appreciate those parents who stepped up and volunteered at the last minute. Both guards performed and did incredibly well. “B Guard”…, who just advanced to Scholastic AAA, came in 4th Place out of 6 participating schools. There score was a 64.30. “A Guard” received a score of 76.30 and took 3rd place out of 5 participating schools. Way to go both groups! On Saturday (WGI, Houston Regional’s / Klein H. S.), Maureen Jerding and Teri Page were chaperons. The “B Guard” was also in attendance. Thanks to those ladies for their assistance and thanks to the “B Guard” for their time on Saturday. At WGI, there were 50 units in attendance. “A Guard” received a score of 75.80 and ended up advancing to the finals. Way to go girls and Mrs. Williams, Ms. B and Ms. Brandi!!!! Parents let’s keep the momentum going! Remind your daughter to practice, practice; practice every free chance she gets. We have three weeks remaining until TCGC Championship Weekend, March 28-29 and April 5th. Let’s do our part and rally behind them giving the confidence and encouragement they need to continue to be successful! Let’s show them that Cy-Fair H.S. is NOT ONLY a high school where athletics rule…but where ‘Fine Arts” can also excel, advance and produce wonderful leaders of tomorrow! Thanks! Jay
The two color guard teams had yet
another successful outing this past weekend. A guard is steadily
improving each show and are very competitive within their class
at TCGC. They took 4th place again but were within 1/10th of a
point from 3rd place! Please remember that in comparison to last
year's placings and scores this group of students have really
done remarkable thus far this season to be so competitive within
their class (mid-pack) with scores improving each show. Not an
easy feat in this highly competitive arena within TCGC. I am
very proud of them and know they are working very hard! |

Mark your calendars! On Sat. 15 Mar 2008 the 2008 Cypress Falls Guard Competition will be held at Cypress Falls HS. Because of high demand (many Guard units competing), the Percussion event that was part of that competition has been moved to Cy-Fair HS and is now being called the 2008 Cy Fair Percussion Show! So, we will be needed to help with the event, and will receive part of the funds earned! This is the Weekend prior to Spring Break. WE NEED TO HAVE 25 Volunteers. Are you planning on being there? Good! We'll be calling to confirm.
Sat. 26 Jan 2008 update: Parents: Note that the person listed as the Chair for the event will not necessarily be the one to carry it out. They may not even be available that weekend! They came to the meeting today and started working on a part of the entire task. It is each of our duty as parents to help out with these events for the good of our children's program. Working the fund raiser events takes less $$$ from our pockets; the object being reaching our financial goals to provide quality instruction. Hey, why not get your neighbors involved! Sign up with a friend. Thanks again everyone for participating in the discussion and planning for the 2008 Cy-Fair Percussion Show to be held on SATURDAY, MARCH 15th!
