Our Weekly Message for January 28, 2004
|
|
Greetings special friends,
I
hope that all of you are staying warm with the
Arctic Freeze that has swept across the country.
We are into our 3rd week of competition and seeing
some fantastic performances. Make sure to watch
for the 2004 Contest Results on our ADTS Contest
Page starting next week.
Here are some thoughts for the day:
=================================
"By your thoughts you are daily, even hourly,
building your life; you are
carving your destiny." Ruth Barrick Golden
=================================
"You will always break the bow if you keep it
always stretched."
Phaedrus (c. 15 B.C. -50 A.D.) Fabulist
=================================
"Our real values are expressed in our actions, in
what we do and how we do
it." Robert Rabbin, business consultant and writer
=================================
"If you don't have wrinkles, you haven't laughed
enough."
Phyllis Diller, comedian
=================================
I had a special request to bring back "You know
you're a dance/drill teamer if...." so here it is
below. Hope you have a wonderful week, and, as
always, please keep in touch!

You know you're a dancer/drill teamer if...
1. Your furniture in your room is arranged to create the
largest open space
as possible.
2. You get upset when all you can find at Disneyworld is
a CHEERLEADER Minnie.
3. You pop out of your chair and start dancing to the
theme songs of
commercials.
4. You critique the technique of dancers you see on TV
or in other
performances.
5. Even if you are terrible at math, counting to eight
is no problem for you.
6. You are planning on, or have already bought stock in
bobby pins.
7. You have an entire drawer filled with old costumes
and practice clothes.
8. If seated, you cannot listen to music without
mentally choreographing a
routine in your head.
9. You can apply full dark make-up in five minutes
(Bonus points if you can
do it while seated in the back seat of a moving bus).
10. Hallways are always a place to practice leaps.
11. You own more leotards than formal gowns.
12. You can fix anything with safety pins.
13. You look at street clothes and see possibilities for
practice outfits.
14. A broken toe is more than an inconvenience.
15. Dance merchandise and costume catalogues are
captivating reading material.
16. Seeing someone do the splits does not send you into
shock.
17. Stretching is not just something you do for a few
seconds when you roll
out of bed in the morning.
18. You do not think "Capezio" is an Italian pasta dish.
19. "Dancing" is the one of the first items you write
down when asked to list
your hobbies.
20. You have, at one point or another, found a pair of
lyrical sandals, tap
screws, etc in your purse or wedged in the back seat of
your car.
21. Your parents/roommate yell at you to "Come watch
this!" when a dance show
is on TV.
22. Nine out of ten of your t-shirts are from
dance/drill team events.
23. You know exactly who Gussie Nell Davis is.
24. You find yourself walking in step with people in
school/work hallways.
25. For you, the year is divided not by weather seasons,
but by
football/contest/show seasons.
26. Kneepads are your friends.
27. Puff paint and glitter are among items in your
closet.
28. You have ever called your mom in tears begging her
to bring pantyhose,
bobby pins, or shoe polish.
29. You wish professional football games showed the
halftime performances.
30. You say "5, 6, 7, 8" instead of "Ready, set, go!"
31. You can pose for a picture in an instant.
Here is another one:
Your mom has called you up to tell you she took up the
carpet in the family
room and found a thick layer of glitter under the carpet
and pad.
