About The Lane Tech
Spirit Boosters
The Spirit Boosters is not just about uniforms
and flags, it's about a team and a group of girls
that become friends and create long lasting
friendships. This is an all-inclusive team, which
means everyone gets a chance at becoming part
of it! This is a team that wants people from all
different walks of life to come together and
make one amazing group.

We teach the girls in our team how to work
together to create a fantastic and well
choreographed performance. We give all of our
girls the skills and an example of structure and
organization to help build confidence and a drive
to succeed in all of them. The purpose of our
team is to perform routines with the Lane Tech
Marching Band and our performance is strongly
based on choreography with the band's music
and with our flag technique.

Being a Spirit Booster takes a lot of dedication
and perseverance, we are a serious team just like
any other team at Lane, but we also have our
fun. We are a fall and football season team.
While we perform at a number of games, one of
our main performances happens at our Pep
Rally. We practice and create routines all
throughout the summer and after the season is
over we begin recruiting new girls and have
tryouts which is around October-November. At
these tryouts, current Spirit Boosters are there to
help and assist in anyway they can.

So What Are Tryouts Like?
The tryout process lasts about 2 weeks and we go
through 2 cuts at the end of each week. The first week
consists of the girls learning most of the flag moves
and then trying to perfect them. At the end of the
week the first cut is held (think of it as a test to see
what you have learned that first week). Each girl will
get a chance to perform in front of the team to show
what she has learned. The second week we take what
the girls have learned and then apply the new skill into
learning a routine that the team has created for the
purpose of the tryouts. The second and final cut is
performing the routine in front of the team with as
much precision as possible and with the least amount
of errors.
What Spirit Boosters look for at tryouts are friendly
outgoing girls with a good attitude and a lot of
motivation. There is no need to feel afraid of making
mistakes on your first try, thats what tryouts are. We
will teach the basic moves first and then move on from
there to intermediate and advanced moves. You will
be given sheets with the moves on them so you can
practice on your own as well. REMEMBER, while there
are numerous girls trying out, the idea is for YOU to
stand out from the rest so
DON'T BE SHY!!!!

Wherever you go,
Whatever you do
Remember the honor of
Lane!
