We Did It!!!!!!!
One of the GOALS of the dancers was to hear their name announced at the competitions for placing. They have worked HARD to get to this point. They deserve the glory and recognition of their efforts.
They placed fourth at the 2011 Rochester John Marshall Invitational.
They knew that their dance was good when they left the floor. Their Smiles were huge.
The judges are beginning to notice this team.
One of our biggest obstacles is getting space to practice. This team was kicked out of their assigned practice space three times in the days prior to competition. We were kicked out twice in one day! We have begged to get space at any gym or cafeteria in the district. We have traveled to other schools to practice and been kicked out by Jazzercise people who wanted to get into the space early to get set up! We end up practicing in a hallway. If you have ever seen the dance-you know there is not a hallway big enough to run through the dance correctly. They practice by standing in one spot. We NEED the support of our School-give us the space to practice our VARSITY sport!

We are new and Improved
After the Apple Valley Invitational, we heard some talk about Roseville Raiderettes. Nothing compared to what is being said after the Cretin conference. People are beginning to notice we are ready to take our turn in the spotlight. We have worked hard and the results are coming in now.
The Varsity Kick scored 4th at the Cretin conference. Missing out on 3rd by one point. One judge actually ranked us #1.
Phone calls have been made commenting on our dancers. How much they have improved.
We are ready to WIN!
Come watch us at our next competition at Moundsview High School on Monday, December 12th.
Thank you for your support.

Fundraiser Blitz
We had our first of two fundraiser blitzes today.
The Good news is that it did not SNOW! If you can remember, last year the fundraiser was held during a BLIZZARD. I think we raised a lot of money due to the sympathy.
The GREAT news is that we have enough money for our costumes. YEAH! It is about time this time updated our look. Plus with the increase in dancers, we need more just to put all the dancers on the floor.
A big THANK YOU to all the DANCERS, who helped their team out today. You earned your new costumes. And we will not forget the DRIVERS who spent the day once again helping the team-THANK YOU!
We also need to Thank the Coach Brittany for setting up this fundraiser.
Our next Fundraiser will be November 19. We will meet at 11:30, after practice. We will need adults drivers for our team. If you can help us again-Please contact Coach Brittany.

We need Gym Space
Roseville Raiderettes Dance Team is a Varsity Competitive SPORT. Why can we NOT get Gym Space? Why do we get assigned to the Cafeteria to practice.
Our SPORT competes on a Gym Floor. When we cannot practice on the same floor, it affects our dance. The marks on the floor and ceiling helps the dancers mark their position. Gym practice time correlates directly with the ranking amongst other teams-INCREASED GYM TIME INCREASES SCORES. The tile floor in the cafe is also not appropriate for the legs and joints of the dancers. They are prone to more injuries and sprains. The Gym is also larger so the dance can be completed in full. The Gym also allows the Varsity and Junior Varsity to practice at the same time.
Roseville Raiderettes needs more time in a Gym to practice their SPORT.

Thank you
A huge Thank you goes out to all the Dancers that helped out at the Car wash on Friday. It was successful. I think having car washes next year on Friday would be a good opportunity.
We also need to Thank the parents that made the car washes possible. We need to thank Kimberly's Grandparents for providing a hose, nozzle, signs and washing/drying and storing of towels. Sam's parents for providing awesome signage along with water, treats and Dilly Bars from DQ. Kari's parents for the buckets,soap and towels. Sarah's mom for providing the tent, chairs and water. We also need to thank parents that volunteered to monitor the car wash. I know I learned a lot about the girls and how they worked together when I worked the car wash. I am sure I have forgotten others, but we appreciate everyone's contribution. It takes everyone working together to make this fundraiser and all fundraisers successful.
Some of dancers realized that this was their last car wash fundraiser. Remember you can always come back next year and help.

Thanks to all who helped
A special THANK YOU to all the dancers and their friends and the parents that helped at the Cub Food fundraiser in Arden Hills.
We had a great time. It was a lot of work for the dancers, especially those who put in longer shifts-Mosolowa, Megan and Mosope-who just joined our group of dancers;Hayley- who has now completed two fundraisers before she even joined; Fortune and Michelle; also our evening group of Kimberly, Lily, Maddie and Allana. Ariel, Rachel, Willaya, Haley,Juliana, Eden and Makendra - also helped in the morning. While Darcy, Annie and Kailey helped fill out our evening group.
We can not forget the parents. Without your support we could not have transported the girls to and from Cub Foods in Arden Hills. Also those who stayed to chaperon the dancers as they worked to help support the team-Millie and Harvey, Susan and Mike, Janet, Vicky and Coach Brittany. If I forgot someone- I apologize. Please let me know so I can rectify the error. (I am terrible with names-forgive me).
We raised about $1000000817.00 Yes that is correct! Over a Trillion Dollars. We Found a Trillion dollar bill in our bucket. I will try to add a photo of our bill as soon as I a figure out how to upload the picture.
We received Tons of compliments about our Dancers. That is a Tribute to all of our Parents of the Dancers. We raised the girls to be RESPECTFUL, HARDWORKING AND DEDICATED.
To the dancers, when we kept you standing or asked you to stay off the salt, or broke up your conversations it was for a good reason, People-shoppers and store personnel were watching you. They were judging you-whether you were worthy of their hard earned cash. Just like a dance where they judge you by the height of your kicks or the smiles on your faces - the shoppers in the store determine the amount of the donation by your behaviour.
We met people associated with other dance teams. Mothers of coaches, grandparents of dancers, brother or cousin of a dancer and parents of a dancer. They realized the hard work needed to fund the needs of a dance team and donated to support the GROWTH OF OUR DYNASTY- AS STATED BY THE GRANDFATHER OF A CANNON FALLS DANCER. We were supported by people associated with Moundsview, Cannon Falls, Osceola, Forest Lake and Irondale. So remember when see a fundraiser being held-remember those who helped to support us.
A SPECIAL THANKS ALSO BELONG TO THE CUB FOOD STORE IN ARDEN HILLS. JEFF, THE MAN IN CHARGE OF FUNDRAISERS WHO ALSO PROVIDED SNACKS AND DRINKS FOR OUR DANCERS, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOLD THE FUNDRAISER AT HIS STORE. WE CAN'T FORGET THE DELI THAT PROVIDED A HOT PIZZA FOR THE DANCERS TO HELP KEEP UP THEIR ENERGY. THIS STORE WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HELP US. RETURN THE FAVOR AND PATRONIZED THEIR STORE. IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE JEFF-BE SURE TO THANK HIM PERSONALLY. A GREAT BIG THANKS TO CUB FOODS FOR SUPPORTING OUR TEAM.
On a side note. I must pass on the comments overheard by some Moundsview patrons. They saw our dancers and commented that we were invading their territory.

Remember the Linders fundraiser
Remember to pass out the coupons for the Linder's Greenhouses for Mother's Day weekend. I realize that it is hard to think Spring when there are still chances for SNOW in the forecast. In fact, I have not seen many greenhouses set up yet.
But PLEASE HAND OUT THE COUPONS TO YOUR FRIENDS NEIGHBORS AND COWORKERS.
This is an easy way to collect funds for the team with minimal effort.

SECTIONS
THE SEASON IS OVER. YOU SHOULD ALL BE PROUD OF YOURSELVES.
OUR GOAL WAS TO CONSISTENTLY IMPROVE OUR SCORES AND THAT WE ACCOMPLISHED. OUR SECTION SCORES WERE THE HIGHEST WE EVER RECEIVED!
ONE THING THAT I HAVE LEARNED THROUGH THE YEARS IS THAT TWO PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT AT THE EXACT SAME THING AND SEE SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
NEXT YEAR, OTHER TEAMS WILL BE LOOKING AT OUR TEAM WITH A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE. THEY KNOW WE ARE IMPROVING WITH EACH DANCE.
THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT, WE WILL PUT FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON
