\"Screen<\/a>In the past month many students were buzzing about the varsity cheer tryouts.\u00a0All the girls participating worked in the gym from 3:30-5:30 Monday through Thursday during the week to get ready for the final tryout day.<\/p>\n

“Each girl does an individual cheer, an individual dance, toe-touch, jump of choice, tumbling pass, and a group cheer\/dance at the audition,” said junior Becca Buterbaugh. “It’s stressful, because it is a lot to learn, but once you get it, it’s all about perfection, plus, you only get one shot on Friday; no pressure!”<\/p>\n

Junior Bayley Garringer thought tryout week was taxing as well.<\/p>\n

“Cramming so many new dances, cheers, and more into a person’s head and then hoping to retain it for Friday, it’s insane,” stated Garringer.<\/p>\n

There were 16 spots available and 24 girls tried out for those positions.<\/p>\n

The returner, Buterbaugh, and new varsity cheerleader, Garringer, mentioned that everyone who has ever tried out has an embarrassing story or two to tell about try out day.<\/p>\n

“During the individual cheer, last year, my voice cracked and I gradually ran out of air, so I was out there and no one could hear anything I was saying–so awkward,” Buterbaugh said.<\/p>\n

“I said ‘go cubs’ four times,” said Garringer.<\/p>\n

Although tryout week is full of trials and tribulations, the outcome of being on the squad makes most ecstatic.<\/p>\n

“I love cheering on the sidelines, especially for football because it gets super intense, leading the crowd, and cheering on the guys every friday night is really awesome,” Buterbaugh said.<\/p>\n

This stressful process is finally \u00a0over for the girls and now whether in the stands or on the sidelines they will be cheering on the Searcy High Lions.<\/p>\n
