Varsity and Jr.: practice

Reminder practice was moved to Willowcreek middle school for today.

Varsity and Jr.: How to apply the Make-up

OK! We are going to go over this on Friday!

But just in case I am going to put up here what we are doing!!!

No making fun of my awful pictures or this will NEVER happen again!!!! LOL!!!

Ok, First start with your base/foundation:

I put it all over my face and chin and blend it onto my neck... I even put it on my eyelid because it helps keep my eyeshadow on!

Next I curl my eyelashes... some of you may be fortunate enough you have beautifully curled eyelashes, but I don't, so I curl my real lashes so they will blend into the fake ones!

I then put mascara on my bottom eye lashes!

I also put mascara on my top lashes... I have EXTREMELY blond lashes and if I don't put mascara on then my real lashes show up against the fake ones!!!

If you have dark lashes you might not have to put mascara on your top lashes!

I put on my eyelashes!

They can be put on after the eyeshadow, I have just found that the glue can take off the eyeshadow, and sometimes they don't stick as good if there is eyeshadow on under the eyelashes.

I also find that with foundation too, so you may want to put on your eyelashes and then put on some foundation!

Run a small bead of glue on the edge of the lashes.

When placing the lashes on your eye the longer edge goes on the outside of your eye and the smaller edge goes on the inside. If you reverse this it will look funny and it will irritate your eyes!

Sorry I couldn't get the picture to rotate!

You want to place the fake eyelashes directly onto where your real eyelashes and your eyelid connect.

You do not want a gap between your lashes and your eye.

I pinch my fake and real lashes together so that there is not gap.

Before I put my eyeshadow on I ran black eyeliner on the inside of my water line on the top of my eye, and I ran it along the very edge of my bottom eyelid (where my eyelashes and eye lid meet).

Then you will take the Maybelline #70 Barely Branded Eyeshadow.

Put the light tan over the upper part of your brow and in the inner corner and along the outer corner of you eye.

Next you will use Maybelline #25 Bad to the Bronze.

Place the Bronze color on the inside corner of the eyelid.

I left the outside corner of my eye clear of color.

I found if I put the purple over one of the tans it made the purple really light! 

So I kept 1/2 of my eyelid clear and my purple was brighter.

Next is the Maybelline #20 Painted Purple

I put the purple on the outside corner of my eyelid and in the crease.

I made sure I blended it into the other colors.

Once I've blended the upper lid, I took a little bit of purple and ran it under my bottom lashes on the outside edge.

Again, make sure you blend everything, and that the bottom is not thick, just a small line of purple!

When I am done with my eyeshadow! I am going to add my blush! 

Again, any red or pink blush!

Then add the RED lipstick.

I had taken my make up off when I realized I didn't have a lipstick picture!!! Sorry!

That should be it!!! Again we will go over this on Friday at practice!

Now I shall leave you with a TERRIBLE photo of me that I thought was funny!!!

Varsity and Jr.: Make-up List!!!

The Eyeshadow is in the Maybelline section:

It is the Maybelline Color Tattoo.

Eyeshadow:

Maybelline #70 Barely Branded 

#20 Painted Purple

and

#25 Bad to the Bronze 

I found it at Wal-Mart for $5.94

False Eyelashes:

This is the Wal-Mart's eyelash section.

They need to be the Strip Eyelashes, not the individual eyelashes.

The thicker and longer the better.

Here are some examples as well as the different price ranges.

Some of them come with their own bottle of glue.

I find that the glue that comes with them doesn't work sometimes.

I prefer to buy a separate bottle of glue.

it has a better tip and makes it easier to put the glue onto the lashes.

It's a little more money but I find that it is worth it.

Here is some examples of Lipstick:

Cover Girl #307 Seduction

Maybelline #895 On Fire Red

You can use any red lipstick as long as it is a true red, no pink, orange or burgundy.

You will also need:

Foundation

Black eyeliner

And something I forgot in the email is Blush (I am ok with any red/pink blush - if your mom has some that you can use then you don't have to buy it... I don't mind what color you use).

VARSITY: Step off meeting tonight

Hey everyone!!!

If you were on the field show last year can you bring your field show shoes so that we can have the new kids try them on. We want to make sure everyone gets the size they need, so it would be very helpful and greatly appreciated if you could bring your shoes for others to try on! Thank you guys, see you tonight!

VARSITY/Jr.: First Fee Payment Due, Jr. High How to Pay

First Payment Due:

Just a reminder the first payment of $300 is Due today!

There has been a few problems with being able to pay, here is what I know as of today:

If you are in 9th-12th NO MATTER WHAT TEAM YOU ARE ON you will pay to the high school.

If you are going to be in 9th grade next year you will have to set up an account at the high school to be able to pay your fees.

Jr. High team:

This is anyone that will be in 6th-8th grade next year.

The administration is still trying to work out where you will pay. It is going to probably be about 1 more week before we will know where you will pay them.

Don't stress we know that this is on us. Unfortunately these things take lots of time to get them set up and we are still trying to get it worked out. 

We will let you know when it is all worked out and we will explain how to get it all paid.

I am so SORRY for the inconvenience! I will be sending out an email hopefully today or tomorrow explaining the problem to your parents!

Thank you! ~ Bri

VARSITY: Judges Comments

Here are the judges comments! I bolded the ones you that are performance based not design based so it will be easier to find for you!!!

EA:

·      Breaking the tension while breaking the characters – interesting.

·      Interesting – terms of the different parts of the floor that occupy the field

·      Detail in the nuances and sense

·      Well designed in the complexity

·      Characters coming across strong

·      Watch the form with the flags. (pink flag angle)

·      Angle of the flag

·      Sabre relationship to each other.

·      Different parts of the floor taken the weight and shape and form from the lines and added them to the texture of the floor elevates the design.

·      Good in the textured set (sabre bat feature)

·      Different vignettes

·      Adding variety to the staging.

·      Clever in the design of the Quartets from the vertical lines to the opening depth that is cool

·      Mood change (from the take me out to the ball game, to the talking, to the entertainer)

·      Open space form.

·      Got to be on, on the release.

·      Compress the space good.

·      However, closing set we MUST project up not to the side….!!!

·      Novelty show, music different than the poetry, did good covering it.

·      Vocabulary is not as complex but what they are doing we’re doing well.

·      BUT need to be crispy clean

Equipment:

·      Sabre characterization of the actual equipment.

·      How is it being held (Sabre)

·      Character driven moments

·      Attention to detail in how were cradling the sabre

·      Detail in the line there

·      Dynamics in the flourish

·      Release rotational value and heights

·      Correct space between each other when holding hands

·      Sampling methodology in the technical aspect of the toss

·      Multi directional focus

·      Control the space when we use the form to extend that line

·      Lower body shaping (under equipment – what does the body do when you are spinning or tossing)

·      Good degree of depth

·      Velocity picks up and we loose control on the flourish and the shape of the arm inconsistent look

·      Weight shifts and hand to hand.

·      Rifle understand where it is suppose to be to body

·      Flags doing good job to work through velocity driven moments.

·      Different layers and complexity to have to move around show good degree of responsibility form performers

·      Dynamics

·      Degree of consistency of the height and hand placement of the end flag

·      Consistency with heights and rotational value across the board, hand placement, lower body contributions, sabre relative to the body. (he’s talking about where are our hands catching. What do our heights look like? Are the flags rotating together?)

GE:

·      Strong set design

·      Costume design to create the team and baseball diamond

·      Clear thematic approach and are you using the voice and the baseball hit. It may have been there and he didn’t see the ball hit. Density of performers on the stage muddied the intro

·      Are you using the baseball diamond reference independent

·      Question the Adam section. Yeah nice moment for the rifle toss.

·      Announcer not sure if its affective as we intend

·      cute idea with bats coming out

·      Question we have this strong graphic… are you using it.

·      Staging independent of the floor

·      Good choreography straight line

·      Little bit of a jumbled mess in the quartet (staging) some on tan some on green with the costume colors and the flag colors with the directional lines not reading very well.

·      Red flag contrast everything so this is fine, we can read past the design lines.

·      Cheeky and humor doing great.

·      Bring everyone into the square at the end and this is affective.

·      Develop those ideas and use the positive and negative space on the floor.

·      Get a stronger reaction from the events hard to see and identify the focal point due the visual busyness, the flags and the floor, and the colors.

Movement:

·      Beautiful the sabre roll back

·      Great prep in the barrel turn

·      Grand plea (BAD)

·      Multiple responsibilities sabers within the close responsibility

·      Blade on the move

·      Flags stay steady under the small toss  no reason for motion

·      Clear from count to count don’t want to over anticipate the next count and move to early from the flip toss in the diagonal.

·      Sense of style and grace

·      Technique of lowering yourself and moving farther, beautiful jazz walk run

·      Rifles building

·      Lift of the torso and lift through the head

·      Inconsistent with the lower body moving into the block, blending moving out before finishing the phrase.

·      Great character  moment

·      Multiple events, great sense of leg line while the ground flag work, straight leg.

·      Level change line by line watch the level

·      Shift of weight (check)

·      To much  motion under the toss. DON’T MOVE YOUR FEET “Come on Now!”

·      Looking good for February – strong training program in place – use the ground and work the ground – leave the ground in preparation

·      Sense of lightness

·      Consistent use of breath

·      Moving together as one.
