Try-Outs :(

Yesterday morning started out as everyother day... Except that night were the Majorette try-outs.. When I finally got to the school so I could be there to support her she was already upset that she had dropped the baton twice in the group routine.. She still had her individual routine to do for captain and co-captain try-outs...

So I tried to get her to get herself back together for the individual routine. Long story short she composed her self and went to do her individual.. She came out in tears... her CD skipped and she had to start over like 3 times and she was so flustered and upset that she messed up on her individual routine too.. She was so upset.

The pictures on here are of Brittany, Cherika and Elizabeth.. They all were on the squad last year along with Jodi (not pictured). They all 4 tried out for the captain and co-captain openings. All 3 girls came back to our house to eat pizza and wait on the results that were posted on the web site. After hours of waiting.. The other girls ended up leaving. Thank God, because about 5 minutes after Elizabeth left the results came in.. go see for yourself.http://www.beulahband.com/ go to the visuals and you will see the results.

Brittany did not make captain or co-captain.. She was devastated. She locked herself in her room and later last night we talked and she of course was and still is upset, mad, embarrassed & confused. She is the oldest on the squad and is so upset that with her being the oldest she did not make captain or at least co-captain. We are very happy Cherika made it. She is the one that went with us to Savannah a couple of weeks ago. Brittany is talking about quitting, because of not making captain or co-captain. I told her I would support her in whatever she wanted to do, however I did not believe in quitting, but would be there for her if she really wanted to. I also told her that this is NOT the end of the world.. Life goes on and she must hold her head up high and move on. I know Monday will be rough for her when they announce it at school and everything, but the worst thing she could do would to give attitude or show how upset she really is. She must smile, hold her head up, and act as if nothing is wrong with her. I do believe that is the best way to handle it. If anyone has any better ideas please let me know. I am a newbie with heartache in a teenager..

I took her shopping today.. She scored alot of stuff and I do beleive that it got her mind off of things. I did have her text the new captain and tell her congrats. I explained to her that she needed to be the bigger person and show no hard feelings. She did and I do believe she understands what she needs to do. I do ask each of you to think of her and send her some good vibes.. She is going to need it for the next few days..

Peace :)
