Kim Kamp

Kim Kamp was this Friday and I think the day went VERY well.

Our first session was from 9-12 and we spent the ENTIRE time on body. I told the girls we wouldn't do our work out Friday morning since Kim was there, so they were very excited about that; however, I don't think they expected to spend 3 hours on movement.

Movement is always a BIG focus for me with the guards I work with because most guard girls don't come in having a ton of dance background AND movement is super important in the guard activity. Our girls on the ODMOCG are just like very other guard....not a lot of dance background.....so the 3 hours on movement was very helpful! I think they had fun, worked hard, and improved a very noticeable amount.

For the second session, running from 3-6, we worked with the weapons. We spent some time on technique and then the girls learned a 16 count choreography phrase. By the end of the day we were able to pick the weapon lines and those lists will be posted before practice on Tuesday. I am very excited for our Rifle and Saber sections this season. I think they will be very impressive.

This summer is going to be hard work for the ODMOCG girls. They are still young, but eager to do some challenging things. Its not always "fun" to work and work on the little details, but it WILL make them more successful in the long run and I think they know that. I just cant wait to see what this team will look like when school starts. They have already improved so much in these first few weeks.
