Dear Parents of Perspective Dance Team Members:
We are very excited that your child has shown an interest in auditioning for a
Clear Creek ISD dance team. There are many aspects of being a member that you and
your child should consider before auditioning. Commitment and dedication are required
to be a member, as well as understanding our rules, regulations and audition procedures.
Being a member of one of the CCISD dance teams has been the highlight of many
students' high school experience. The dance teams pride themselves on their tradition of
excellence and continue to push their members to new heights. It is CCISD’s philosophy
to "educate, equip and excel" all students and the dance teams hold this same vision.
Through this vision, dance team members will gain character, scholarship, dance training,
leadership and individual responsibility.
Good Luck!

CBHS Celebrity Try-Out Guidelines and Information
Below are certain guidelines and expectations to consider:
1. The Clear Brook Celebrities Drill Team is an organization composed of
sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
2. The try-out clinic begins Friday, February 28, 2014 at 5:00pm in the Clear Brook
High School New Gym. The times and dates are as follows:
A) Friday
February 28, 2014 5:00-6:30 pm
B) Monday
March 3, 2014 5:00-6:30 pm
C) Tuesday
March 4, 2014 5:00-6:30 pm
D) Wednesday
March 5, 2014 5:00-6:30 pm
Try-Outs for the Celebrity Line will be Thursday, March 6, 2014 from 5:00-7:00
PM. Try-outs for Adv. Dance 1 will be Thursday, March 6, 2014 from 4:30-5:00. Tryouts are closed to everyone except those assisting in the try-outs and administrators.
However, parents may wait out in the lobby. The girls will audition five at a time. Each
candidate member must stay the entire time. Candidates will find out the results at the end
of try-outs that day by a confidential letter! If for some reason, you are not selected for
the team, you might be invited to be in the Advance dance 1 class. This is not mandatory
and if that does not interest you, please contact the director.
3. The Celebrity director and the dance officers will instruct the clinic and teach
stretching techniques, splits, jazz routine, and a kick combination. Prospective
members will be judged on these combinations on the day of try-outs and may be
called back to do the combination if the judges wish.
4. The Celebrities are now a competitive team and will be competing in up to 3
competitions after Football Season. This cost will be budgeted into our fundraisers.
Each girl and her parent will be responsible for fundraising. All girls and parents
are expected to participate in fundraising. It is a must for this organization. The
only thing that is provided to us from the district is our field uniforms. It is not fair
or ethical to allow members to reap the benefits of other’s hard work. Please know
that this is a HUGE part of this dance team and is the only way to keep the costs
from coming out of your own pocket.

6. All members are required to attend the summer camps. If they choose not to, they
will not dance the first 2 football dances since the choreography will be learned and
cleaned at these camps. This is also a wonderful bonding time for the team. Any
choreography that the member does not learn must be learned on their OWN
time. The cost for attending line camp for the 2013 summer will be $330.00 for
each member. This includes meals, lodging, camp instruction, and a private 2 day
camp. The costs also helps the Booster Club with payment for a Coach bus to and
from camp. Camp is divided into 2 payments.
7. Discipline will be handled in accordance with the CCISD Dance/Drill Team
Constitution. Celebrities are issued demerits throughout the school year for
infractions of the rules. Demerits during the summer may be worked off several
ways. However, demerits can not be worked off during the school year. Sixteen
demerits will put a member on probation and twenty-one demerits will dismiss
them from the team. Merits can also be earned throughout the school year with
several awards received.
8. Throughout the year, auditions will be held for football and pep rally
performances. If she does not make a dance then the Celebrity will be considered
as an alternate for that performance but will have another opportunity to audition.
Alternates must attend and participate in all rehearsals and will replace a member
in the dance who is not present at rehearsal.
9. The Celebrities perform at many functions throughout the year. We are always in
season. We perform at football games in the fall, competitions during the winter
and early spring, and then Spring Show at the end of the year. Please be prepared
to practice Monday through Friday after school every week.
10. Attached is a list of items that the Celebrities used in the 2013-2014 school year.
This will give you an estimate of the expenses for their dance attire. Certain attire
will be changing from the year before, however most attire will remain the same.
New members are encouraged to buy reusable items from the outgoing seniors to
help with costs. The Celebrity organization does not expect you to pay for new
items all at once. You will be allowed to pay for the attire in 3 monthly

As you kick, your body must be straight and tall. Your body never bends from the
waist up.
Every time you kick, you must keep your support leg straight. That means you
cannot bend your supporting knee.
Every time you kick you must point your toes and keep them pointed from the
time they leave the floor.
Every time you kick you must keep the heel for your supporting leg on the floor –
the support heel never leaves the floor.

to tutorials on Tuesdays and Thursdays!
"
If you can, take a dance class. Keep working on your technique and ability to
memorize combinations!

Revised 1/2014
Extracurricular Student Activities Code of Conduct
CCISD FM Regulation
1. Statement of Philosophy
The District believes that extracurricular activities afford students opportunities to
develop leadership, interpersonal, and citizenship skills. A variety of extracurricular
programs exists in the form of clubs, teams, and performing groups. Participation in
extracurricular activities is a privilege, not a right. Because students represent their school
and the District in highly visible positions in elected offices and/or appointed positions in
which they perform, participate, or compete, these students are viewed as role models.
The demands and responsibilities require participants to commit time and effort while
maintaining high standards of conduct. This code applies at all times and applies to
conduct on or off campus, while participating in an activity or not, during the school
calendar year, and during holidays, summer, and weekends.
Before a student is suspended or removed from participation in an extracurricular
activity, and before any other consequence is imposed as provided in this policy, the
alleged infraction of the rule will be documented and a reasonable investigation of the
allegation shall occur. The Principal or designee shall then schedule a conference with
the student and the student’s parent to explain the reasons for which the action is being
taken and to offer the student an opportunity to present their side. A student may appeal
the decision through the procedures set forth in CCISD Board Policy (FM Local)
2. Notice of Nondiscrimination
It is the policy of the Clear Creek Independent School District not to discriminate on the
basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in admission or access to, or
treatment or employment in, its programs and activities as required by Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1975,
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Act of 1975, and Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. No provision of an extracurricular
behavioral standard shall have the effect of discriminating on the basis of sex, race,
disability, religion, or ethnicity.
3. Individual Activity Extracurricular Codes of Conduct and Handbooks
In cooperation with the campus administration, activity
Teachers/Coaches/Sponsors/Directors are authorized to develop individual activity codes
of conduct and handbooks. A student’s participation in a particular extracurricular
activity is conditioned upon the student’s compliance with the requirements and
standards of behavior set forth in the individual extracurricular activity code of conduct,
the CCISD Student Code of Conduct outlined in the Student/Parent Handbook, and The
Extracurricular Student Activities Code of Conduct (FM Regulation). Individual
extracurricular activities may have stricter rules of conduct than the district
Extracurricular Code of Conduct. Activity Teachers/Coaches/Sponsors/Directors may
take disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the activity, against a student
1
7/28/2006 2:59:40 PM
who violates any required standard of conduct. The program sponsor in cooperation with
the campus administration has the authority to develop the specific guidelines for
membership within their individual extracurricular activity code of conduct. Final
approval of the individual extracurricular activity code of conduct in each area will be
given by the appropriate CCISD Education Support Center Administrator or designee.
Due to the vast differences among the various extracurricular groups, the individual
program codes of conduct are developed for the purposes of defining the specific
requirements within the organization.
The Teacher/Coach/Sponsor/Director’s decision may be appealed pursuant to CCISD
Policy FM (Local); however, absent a showing that the disciplinary action was arbitrary
or capricious, the Teacher/Coach/Sponsor/Director’s decision will be presumed valid.
3. Statement of Eligibility
Participants who meet UIL and CCISD eligibility requirements and are selected to
represent a CCISD school extracurricular program, agree by signature of parent and
student, to comply with the behavior guidelines as set forth in the CCISD Student Code
of Conduct, Extracurricular Student Activities Code of Conduct and the individual
extracurricular program codes of conduct.
4. Tryout Procedures
Tryout procedures and the calendar for the various extracurricular activities are
determined by the individual activity directors in partnership with CCISD guidelines.
Final approval of the individual extracurricular activity tryout procedures in each area
will be given by the appropriate CCISD Education Support Center Administrator or
designee. Upon completion of the tryout procedure for the extracurricular activity, the
sponsor will notify all participants of their membership status. The results of tryout
procedures are final and cannot be appealed.
5. Dress and Grooming
Students who participate in extracurricular activities shall comply with the District’s
policy on student dress and grooming and the Teacher/Coach/Sponsor/Director’s specific
requirements for the activity.
6. Equipment and Uniforms
District-owned equipment and uniforms are only issued to the student for use while the
student is participating in school activities or organizations. Students must return
equipment and uniforms at the end of activity or school year as directed by the
Teacher/Coach/Sponsor/Director. Exceptions would be for musical instruments loaned
over the summer.
Equipment
Any district-owned equipment issued to a student is the responsibility of the student
while participating in a school activity or organization.
Students must care for district-owned equipment. Equipment must be properly stored, in
the appropriate location, and shall be kept clean and maintained.
2
7/28/2006 2:59:40 PM

replacement.
Individually owned equipment is the sole responsibility of the student; CCISD will not be
responsible for any loss or damage that occurs to student-owned equipment.

If uniforms are required for an activity/organization, the student shall be required to
ensure that the uniform is neat and clean for the practice, performance, competition, or
game/tournament. Uniforms are to be worn only at appropriate school-related functions.
A fee for the maintenance, dry cleaning, or laundering of the uniform may be collected.
If a uniform is dirty, damaged, poorly maintained, or lost, the student will be financially
responsible.
7. Travel
Students who have the opportunity to travel in connection with the CCISD extracurricular
activity/organization are representatives of the District and must exhibit exemplary
behavior at all times.
Students who dress or act inappropriately while traveling to or from a CCISD activity
may be suspended or removed from the activity or organization, depending upon the
nature of the misconduct, as in accordance with CCISD FMG (Regulation). When
feasible, such action should be taken in consultation with the principal and is subject to
review under CCISD Board Policy FM (Local).
All students who participate in school-sponsored trips are required to ride in
transportation provided by the school to and from the event. An exception would be
made if the student’s parent or guardian personally requests that the student be allowed to
ride to/from the event with the parent, guardian, and other adult. In this event, an
Alternative Travel Form, FMG Exhibit C, will be completed and signed by the parents
and submitted to the sponsor one day in advance of the event. Students with a valid
Texas Drivers License are permitted to drive themselves, but are prohibited from
transporting another student.
Students involved in travel shall:
• Be on time for all trips;
• Dress neatly and in compliance with the District dress code and grooming;
• Be on their best behavior in restaurants and hotels;
• Care for any equipment assigned to the student and return it to the proper

performances, competitions, games, tournaments, and other events identified by the
Teacher/Coach/Sponsor/Director. The Teacher/Coach/Sponsor/Director will identify
times for required practices, performances, competitions, games, tournaments, etc., by the
beginning of the athletic season, each semester for fine arts, or the beginning of the
program activity season.
Extracurricular Activity Conflicts
Extracurricular Activities Sponsored by CCISD
In the case of a conflict between CCISD sponsored student activities, extracurricular or
otherwise, Teachers/Coaches/Sponsors/Directors will work together to accommodate the
student to participate in all activities to the extent possible. UIL and other CCISD

result in suspension or dismissal from the activity/organization. Such decisions shall be
made in consultation with the campus principal and are subject to appeal through CCISD
Board Policy FM (Policy).
Students with injuries will be allowed to attend any practice, performance, game, or other
event relating to the activity/organization and allowed to participate only to the extent
authorized by written order of the student’s physician.
