To Be Determined in Spring of 2020
During TRYOUT WEEK there will be 3 Tryout Practices. (Monday/Wednesday/Thursday)  You MUST attend each of these Tryout Practices to be eligible to tryout on Friday's TRYOUT DAY.  At these 3 practices you will learn a short 30-45 second Pom Routine, a Kick Sequence, and the various skills needed for Friday's TRYOUT DAY.  If you are unable to make it to one of these Tryout Practices you must email Coach Rodney Anderson (rodney@americangrand.com) and Coach Andrew Meinel (amein162@live.com) before the first Tryout Practice to make alternate arrangements.  Every person trying out will be required to fill out a Dance Team Tryout Packet.  In this packet there will be contact information, contracts for the upcoming season, teacher evaluations, and various questions you will need to answer based on your current status on the team (New Dancer, Returning Sophomore/Junior Dancer, or Returning Senior Dancer)


Tryout Day

To Be Determined in Spring of 2020
On TRYOUT DAY all dancers will come to Ashwaubenon High School's Small Gym and have the opportunity to practice/warm-up from 3:00pm-5:30pm.  They will then be given a number and will be called in by 2's or 3's to Tryout for the Team from 5:30pm-8:00pm.  The judges for our tryouts will consist of Coach Rodney Anderson, Coach Andrew Meinel, Coach Ashley Shimanek and various award winning coaches throughout the state of Wisconsin.  Their final score will be based off of their performance of skills and routine, attitude during tryout practices, teacher evaluations, and tryout packet questions. All returning dancers will also be evaluated on their attitude/performance/actions from previous years they have been on the team.
