Items you will need for August 25:
Hair brush
Comb (if you already own one)
Hair spray
Hair gel
Hair net
Hair ties (similar to your hair color or red please)
Bobby pins (similar to YOUR hair color)
Black liquid eyeliner for the top of your eyelids
Black pencil eyeliner for the bottom of your eyes (if you would prefer to use liquid for the bottom that is ok,too)
Black mascara (you may want to invest in waterproof if you do not already own mascara)
Pink or red blush (whatever looks best with your skin tone)
Lipstick (that can be seen on you from far away in the closest tone to red that looks good with your skin tone)
Clear lip-gloss (for over your lipstick is optional)
Tan or light brown eyeshadow (whichever shade can be seen and looks best with your eyes/skin.
Preferably with a shimmer to it)

Knee-high black socks
A black spaghetti-strap tank top (recommended for under your uniform)

We will all do hair/make-up together after rehearsal.  If you need help with make-up go shopping with another guard girl who can help you!  Realize that this is just performance make-up and does not have to be expensive.

If you have not purchased red earrings from Sam, please do so before the game!  They are $3.00 per pair.  If you are worried that you will forget them, bring a plastic Ziploc bag with your name on it and your earrings in them to Sam and she can keep them for you until you need to wear them.  ABSOLUTELY NO JEWELRY THAT IS VISIBLE MAY BE WORN WHEN IN UNIFORM OTHER THAN THE RED EARRINGS.  If you have a facial piercing or another ear piercing you may wear clear studs.  No bracelets, necklaces or rings, please!  Nail polish must also be removed from your fingernails before any performance.

Sam will provide silver glitter, red bows and pom poms (for dancing in the stands).

By the first competition (Saturday, September 24) Color Guard members must have red shorts for rehearsal and to wear after the performance.  During morning rehearsal you will wear your black "Z" shirt along with your red shorts.  For the color weather you will want to have black yoga pants/jazz pants or sweatpants for these times.

Make sure you are practicing - especially Pre-Game - this weekend!  Stretch before and smile during!  If you are confused or need help with any choreography, don't hesitate to contact a friend from guard or any of our leadership team - Paige, Jena or Kia!

If any parents or guard members have questions, feel free to email Sam!
