The fire team building hoop

After a weekend of several people missing we once again joined together at Angelica. We started out by doing our dance and flag warm ups and then it was time to get to work. This was our last weekend before our first competition! We started out by doing a short chunk through and then stopped to review after we got a little lost. We practiced the specific counts and moves over and over again until we couldn't get them wrong! We continued to do this, slowly adding more of the show as we go. We perfected arround half of the show when it was time for team building! We all got in a circle and turned sideways. We had to work together to get our feet and bodies in the right place position so that we could sit on the person behind us while the one in front of us could sit on us. It took a few tries to tweak it but we finally accomplished it as a team! Then we did another team building game that was my personal favorite. We had a set space and we had to pretend like there was a fire and this elastic green hoop was the exit. Everybody had to get through the exit within a set amount of time. We tried several different techniques but they failed. The tricky part was once you gave an idea you couldn't talk the next round. We worked as a team and paired up to get through the exit faster. We even made it with 5 seconds to spare! We then had 30 minutes till lights out. In the morning we were awoken to delicious biscuits and gravy! After breakfast we jumped right into our perfecting! We tweaked the counts a bit and before we knew it, it was lunch time! After lots of chunk throughs and run throughs it was time for chores. We made so much progress this weekend and I can't wait to see how we do at our first competition!
