| Sorry, I am just a little aggravated right now. I know it was posted that we WOULD have practice tonight. I realize Brittany was sick and wasn't going to come, but no one thought to text or call me when the plans had changed? I thought that we were a team. I don't live right around the block from the gym, so had I gotten a message, I could have saved an hour driving time and the gas it takes to get there.
I have posted my number on this board several times, and when I try to get numbers from all of you, my request gets ignored. Therefore, I have no way of getting in contact with anyone on the team.
Sorry for the rant, but I am just a little upset.

| Hi jenn, I hear u ! Britt sent me a text as I was on my way to the gym, I called and text a few that I had #s for and most did not want to come. I think I'd we are going to be a team maybe we need to get together and do this right. I think everyone is extremely discouraged because of lack of support. Maybe we should consider a different night and either make sure Britt can be there or just get someone else to help us.. Hunter said he would on a different night. But we are already there 3 nights a week. I would really like a dance and exercise class where we actually did something.

| I agree, I know that Mondays and Saturdays are good for me if they are ok with everyone else. I just can't get there on Mondays until 6pm. and you are right, I think we are all discouraged. I don't know...

| I can do it either Mon or Wed from 7-9. Unfortunately, I can't do it any other night. I really missed having it last night and would definitely like to keep doing it.

| I can only do it Mon or Wed...I think if we are going to do this we need to make sure we're ALL there on whatever night we choose...Having only 4 or 5 people doesn't really help us..It just gets us aggravated!!!!

| I say we try for Mondays from 7-9. I know Brittany coaches at the gym, but maybe she can sneak away for half an hour. I can't speak for Diane or Heather, but we all have Mini's Mondays, so that may work...

| Hey Guys - Sorry I haven't responded earlier our office computer crashed last Friday and we have been down without a light at the end of the tunnel all week. When I received the page on Wednesday that Brittany was sick and couldn't make it I actually needed the time to try and get my household in order. I'm sorry I don't have anyone's phone numbers either and I try and rely on the message board to get info. I am at the gym with Nicole on Mondays and Thursdays. These days would probably be better for me (althought Mondays are full of activity). However, I really would like if we could have one instructor who can help us get the routine polished up. As I've said before I think we all sometimes interpret what we are supposed to do differently and it would help to have one unbiased person there to give input and get us working together.

| Hi everyone well im sorry everyone feels that way, unfortunately this week I was sick, and last week was the start of school and the workload was crazy. My plan is to be there wednesdays but if you would like to do another night i wont be able to be at the entire practice, maybe a few minutes here and there. you all know I love working with you all, but sometimes things happen and I dont have another option but to miss.

| We know Brit will work with us when she is there, but without feedback and guidance, we can't improve. Like Diane said, we all interpret the moves differently, and then we think "our" interpretation is correct, so it has caused alot of negative attitudes during our practices. I think for the money we have agreed to spend on the "uniform" and our willingness to perform, we have the right to have the routine cleaned up, so we don't look like middle aged fools out on the floor. This is just my opinion.

| WOW!!!!! I have to say that some of the comments that I have read on this message board are rude and unfair!!!
My daughter Brittany has loved every minute being with the parent team. When Parent teams get together at other gyms, its normally on a Sunday once a month for a few hours. Brittany has tried to dedicate as much time to the team as possible. To see parents be unappreciative to the dedication from Brittany has disappointed me.
The parent team is for FUN! You are not a competitive Dance team. It's for FUN!!!!! We have not charged you for the time you spend in the studio or the time Brittany spends with you.
It's FREE. So, I would appreciate you do not EVER USE THIS MESSAGE BOARD AGAIN FOR YOUR RANTS!!!!!
The message board is for information and positive notes. If you continue writing negative messages I will ask you to leave. The bottomline is to SUPPORT EACHOTHER and NOT to try and find ISSUES!
I understand one thing in this......
You are trying to be competitive and this team is for FUN!!!!
If you are having issues getting phone numbers for your team, I would suggest you appoint a team leader and work it out.
I don't want a PARENT TEAM to be so serious! Go have a good time! You guys have done great and we all love watching you!
I love the passion you show in wanting to look great and get better.....
HOWEVER, AT WHAT COST????
Thank you for understanding,
Bobby

| THANK YOU BOBBY, VERY WELL PUT...IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR FUN. WHILE THE MAJORITY OF US DO TRY TO BE THERE EVERY PRACTICE SOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE THAT ARE COMPLAINING HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE SAME ONES WHO HAVE NOT BEEN THERE FOR ALL OF THEM AS WELL.
THINGS DO COME UP PEOPLE DO GET SICK OR HAVE THINGS COME UP THAT THEY CAN'T GET OUT OF.
I LOVE BEING A PART OF THE PARENT TEAM AND I WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PART OF IT BUT I DON'T WANT US TO LOSE THE FUN ASPECT OF WHAT THE TEAM IS SUPPOSED TO BE. WE ALL WANT TO IMPROVE BUT EVERY MEMBER OF THIS TEAM NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT NONE OF US ARE PERFECT AND THINGS DO COME UP THAT MAY CAUSE US TO NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT ONE NIGHT.

| GIRLS MONDAY NIGHTS ARE NOT GOOD FOR ME, I AM NOT EVEN ABLE WITH MY WORK SCHEDULE TO BE THERE TO WATCH MY DAUGHTER PRACTICE AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO SO FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW. MONDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHTS I HAVE TRAINING THAT COINCIDES WITH THE ACCREDIDATION PROCESS FOR MY JOB. I WILL BE THERE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS THOUGH.

| I don't want to keep this message going but I just want Brittany to understand that I (and I believe all of us) appreciate all she has done. I find her to be an amazing person and I am thankful for the time she has taken to create this parent team. I would never have been able to do anything like this before. Thanks!!!

| Hello,
I am willing to get everyones phone number and be the team leader. Guys, come on,, were parents out there just wanting to have fun!!!!! We can practice without Brittany.( you know I love you Brittany) We aren't supposed to be perfect because we are OLD! lol ok ( older) I think the crowd doesn't care how good we are, just the fact that we are brave enough to get out there and show what we have. Everybody's ability is different, and that is what makes our team so much fun! If you can look at it at the perspective of just having a good time you will have so much more fun. Why don't we just try to practice twice a month. That way there is no pressure on anyone to make it every week. And whoever can make it makes it. I know myself I have been really sick for 3 weeks with a horrible cough I can't get rid of which makes it hard to dance, ( plus I don't want to get anyone sick). Thank you Bobby for your comment. Even if we don't practice before we do an exhibition, we still do ok and have a blast. That's what it is all about. Fun fun fun. I really don't care if people laugh at us. That's all part of the fun. Michael and I are working at the South Florida Fair the next 2 weeks so we won't be able to make it. Thank you Bobby, for giving us the gym to utilize for practice. We really appreciate your generosity. And thank you Brittany for teaching us and supporting us. Now it's on us to practice and get better. My phone number is 772-579-2371. No need for anyone to be frustrated. The crowd loves us as you can tell by the screaming. Let's just have fun, cause WE ARE ULTIMATE!
