I can remember being so excited for my first homecoming!!! High school is a truly once in a life time experience, just like anything you only get the chance to do once. (we are not going to go there with how fun college was hahahaha;) During 1997 homecoming we had wreaths in our hair and smiles on our face as we twirled our flags and danced in our really sexy, full soled, jazz shoes.. boy did I think this was awesome. Looking back the outfits were horrible the dance moves dorky but we did have was fun!
Sophomore year I was on JV cheer and Advanced Dance, Junior year Varsity Cheer and Advance Dance and senior year I was Varsity Cheer Captain and Advanced Dance Director...So I made my way up the ranks. After High School I went to LB State and was on the dance team there while coaching cheer and teaching dance part time at good Ole' Millikan High school. I even worked with the drama kids on the musicals.
So my point is ...13 years later I have come full circle.. I am doing a makeup job for the Kidettes of 2010!!!
I often head up an alumni dance for Varsity Cheer Alumni for homecoming so I get a chance to talk to the MHS Cheerleaders and get to know them every year but I never get the chance to work with the Drill team!!! Now I do!!!!!... So here is what went on..
Their theme for homecoming was "Under the Sea" so the colors were Teal and light Yellow.. I gathered my materials and did a little practice run on myself!!!
I only had an hour and a half to do 23 girls so I had to do a design that I could reproduce 23 times in under 4 min per Kidette. This was something I could do fast and would look good on every skin tone.
Had to hold it up to see if it would work on the face :) Yep.. Looks good... so this is what I was going to go off of when I got to Millikan.At Millikan all the girls were getting ready in Mrs. Wells Room. Mrs. Wells was on Cheer when I was a Kidette my freshman year at Millikan. I can remember her judging the cheer tryouts later that year (that was sooo scary:) So us alumni stick together and love supporting each other!
After setting up I started to "decorate" the girls......
23 Girls later....

I had to go practice with the other Cheer Alumni before the game so we could get our dance together for 1st quarter:) But I was really looking forward to seeing the Kidettes on the Field in a few!
Here They are.. I know it is hard to see because they are so far out there.... but....... 
They Did such an AMAZING job! Mrs. Wells has made such a huge difference!!!!! So much better then when I was a Kidette!!! I was soooo impressed. I almost cried!!! I am very nostalgic. Not only did they do awesome, they were the sweetest, most kind girls! So welcoming to me and so excited for Homecoming. They were all helping each other out with hair and makeup and so supportive of each other while practicing before the game!
Here are a few more of our getting ready pics!!!
Thanks so much girls for having LABEL ME LINDSAY be a part of your special day!!!! Homecoming 2010 will always be remembered!!
