PHS Eye Make Up

Ok girls....found a video on how I want your eye make up to look. I have the eye shadow to make this happen but if you have eye shadow colors that are VERY close to the ones the girls uses in the video than you can use them. It needs to be dark remember, because we are performing far away from our audience!

First, here is the eye shadows I have that you will be using.

This color we will put all over the lid. It needs to be a light (maybe even with time shimmer to it) shade of purple.

The second color is the middle one your see in the picture below. It needs to be a dark purple and will be applied to the outside half of the lid and the crease. The third color needs to be a super dark purple or a midnight blue like the bottom color you see in the picture below. This will be applied to the outside triangle. The last color is the High Light color...the top color you see in the picture below. We will put this in this inside corners of the eye and right below the eye brow.

Again, if you have (very) similar colors then use them. But watch the video a couple times and practice it on your self before Friday. Hopefully we will have a few of you who can do this VERY well and can help the others. Here is the video....



I am also adding one more video! Something I thought you might like for the eye liner!



Its simple but cute.

Oh! And don't forget your lip stick! I needs to be darker than what you would usually wear!!!

Eventually I think Id like for everyone to start wearing fake eye lashes! So, Ill get you a video on that soon!

PHS Sock Bun

Hey girls! Hope this helps since I wont be able to be there for your game on Friday! I know my blog has music and it might make it hard to hear the video...so just scroll all the way down to the bottom of my blog and pause the music.

Both girls use tube socks for their buns.....and since a lot of you have LONG hair and had a lot of hair to wrap around the bun last time, maybe a longer sock would help. So, if you have darker hair get a pair of black tube socks and if you have blonde hair get a pair of white tube socks. Those of you who have really long hair you might want to double up the sock like the one girls does in the video....those who have more of a medium length can probably just use one.

If you didn't have a lot of hair to wrap around your bun the last time then you can probably just use the sock you did last time.

Ok, here are the 2 videos. Remember! For our guard hair we are doing a LOW SIDE BUN. The part must be on the left and the bun must be on the right. As low as possible and as much to the right as possible. It should be very close to your right ear.

Notice how smooth their pony tails are before they even do the bun. we will have NO bangs out and everything should be smooth and pulled back. It is important that we all look the same and the hair is as clean and neat as possible. We will not braid the hair....looks like it might cause more bumps and we don't want that.

Finally Back

It has been a WHILE since I have been able to post. But I am back....Finally!

Since the last update...winter guard for Willard was just crazy busy and the season flew by. Both the Middle School and the High School had great seasons.....both finishing 2nd in their class and receiving the Silver Medal! I hope the girls were happy with how the season finished up....I know I was very proud of both groups.

After the winter guard season the decision for me to move to KC was made.....which made things even more frantic and busy. With the move coming up I really didn't have a guard lined out to work with so I didn't have much to post at the time. There were a few programs that may have had openings, but I just had to wait till I was actually up in KC and could meet with people.

During the summer I spent my time moving.....one on my least favorite things to do. But I also was able to work with Lindsey Hansen on a couple of her guards. I was able to help her out with the Blue Springs Color Guard and the Webb City Color Guard....which was more fun then I even anticipated! Lots of energy and enthusiasm working with a designer like Lindsey, I hope to do it again next summer!

I also worked with the Salem Color Guard again this summer. This was my 3rd season with them. Each year gets better and better and I am looking forward to seeing how they are next year.

By the end of the summer I was asked to come on staff at Park Hill South to help with their color guard. The band director there has been there now for 3 years and is taking them in a great direction. I am having a great time working with him as well as the color guard sponsor.

The girls are great as well....energetic and willing to work! I have high hopes for them and some big dreams for their future seasons!

That's about it for now. Good Luck to all the Marching programs and their seasons this fall!
