Upcoming Work Day Information
Hi all, I just wanted to remind you about our first upcoming work day. It will be Saturday, February 11th from 12 to 5. The Debs will also be practicing that day so when you drop your daughter off, stay and help for a while. It’s a great way to get involved and meet new people. Don’t worry if you can’t draw or paint, there are plenty of other jobs to do. Also, if you haven’t turned in your Spring Show work day form, I have reattached it. Feel free to print it off and return it or email me your date or let me know on Saturday. See you soon!
Ms. T.

Playoffs- Round 2
Garland represented well on Friday: the halftime, the game, the sidelines and the fans ALL rocked! Your Owls football team defeated Berkner 24-7, advancing to round two of the playoffs versus Mesquite HS. The fabulous Garland Owls are headed to Cowboys Stadium this week, Friday 11/18 and the game begins at 6pm. Advance tickets are $6 for students and $8 for adults, $10 at the game. Parking is 10 dollars. No online sales this week. Come on out to see the beautiful Dashing Debs perform Olympia on the Cowboys’ star!
G-town is Playoff Bound
“Olympia”, our playoff routine, was learned at camp in the summer of 1995 and was performed during the regular football season. The crowd loved it so much, we brought it back for playoffs. The crowd still loved it so much, they requested to see it again during the 1996 football season. We agreed that if we made the playoffs, we would bring it back again and thus it became a tradition. In the past 17 years, we have been to the playoffs 15 times and have taken “Olympia” on the road with us every time. During the 1999 football season when the Garland Owls became state champs, we performed “Olympia” six times. Our final performance that year was at the Houston Astrodome where 39,102 people came out to watch. That game was the sixth highest attended game in all of Texas state history. People all over the state of Texas and beyond have had the chance to see our fabulous routine and we are very proud to show it off. At school it has come to be known as the “circle routine” and as our Owls progress, people start asking me if we are going to bring it back another year. Last year, one of our teachers at the game told the girls they needed to take half-time very seriously because it was a beautiful routine that always gave her chills and had a reputation of greatness for almost as long as these girls had been alive. I think that is a great way to summarize it!
