2008 Officer Announcement
The Pacesetter officer tryouts were held on Thursday May 22nd. The girls were required to present to the team and a panel of 3 judges a self choreographed solo routine and a group dance taught by senior officers Emma Clarke and Caren Mandelbaum. Also required of the girls were a formal interview and a showing of their traditional kick routine, “Deep in the Heart of Texas”. Another aspect of this tryout dealt with creativity. As such, the girls were required to create a notebook about themselves displaying a personal resume, pictures, a series of leadership and interview questions and answers, in addition to portraying ideas for Revue and Pep Rally routines, complete with costume designs and music. The first part of the tryouts started on Thursday morning at 7:30am by presenting to the team. The second part took place on the same day after school for the panel of judges and concluded at 7:30pm. The results were announced on Friday May 23rd after school via a letter distributed by the assistant principal, Ms. Eisenmann, followed by a small ceremony at the dance studio.
