(Time) Commitment to Exellence

Time commitments differ greatly from Prowlers
and Loon-E crew. Prowlers meet 3 times a week
while Loon-E crew manages to met only once a week unless there is a performance that week.
Prowlers meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-8 and Wednesdays from 6-7:30.
The following is a typical practice
  • Stretch for fifteen minutes
  • Learn the routine for that week
  • Clean and make sure everyone is together
  • Practice skills that are in that weeks dance
  • Practice on field or court

Sometimes it seems like a lot of time but we perform at every home football and basketball game so we need to be prepared. Although we often end up chit-chatting for a good 20 minutes of practice, it is fun and we were all good friends this year.

Loon-E crew is a veryyy laid back group. If you want to be in a group with very few expectations and commitments this is the group for you. There were only 3 performances this year and you can chose whether to participate in them or not. We have one practice a week normally that starts at 12, but it's normal to have people strolling in up til 12:30. The choreographer then starts to teach the dance for the next performance, complete with lots of distractions, laughter, suggestions and talking. At first I found this frustrating because I came from a very organized dance background but now it's whatever.

  1. See me about the clock graphic. You can remove the white box in PhotoShop Elements. I can show you the method. This technique might be needed in the redesign project.
