Mini cheerleaders should report to the football field from 5-6 PM today for their refresher course. If you picked up your shirt and poms at the Pep Rally last night, you can wear your shirt and bring your poms. For those who have not picked them up, we will hand them out at the refresher course and you can change into your shirt at the stadium.
Warm pants and jackets can also be worn due to the weather.
Mini cheerleaders will be able to sing the National Anthem with Dirks Anderson. After the National Anthem, they should go to the end zone with the JH and Varsity Cheerleaders to prepare for the run through at the beginning of the game.
We look forward to a great Homecoming Game and Festivities! Go Indians!
