-The Ria High Cheerleading Team-
TRYOUTS! We've all been waiting for it and it's finally here, a chance for girls to show of their athletic skills and beauty all while supporting their school!
It's that time of year again. Excitement ignites and butterflies start swarming in the stomach, there's more to cheerleading that meets the eye! The Cheerleading team is looking for perosnable girls between the ages of 13 and 18!
Cheerleading requires excellent stamina, flexibility and personality.
Time - As a Cheerleader you can plan on spending many hours practicing. Add in the hours you'll need for fundraising, pep rallies, competitions and performances and it's easy to see this sport is very time consuming.
Financial - Uniforms, shoes, accessories and camps/clinics all cost money. Some costs may be offset by fundraisers, but chances are you'll be asked to invest part of the costs involved in cheering.
Role Model - Cheerleaders are looked up to by their peers. They are expected to maintain good grades and set a good example for the rest of the student body. If you can't live up to these expectations or don't like the scrutiny that you'll be under because of your position then you should definitely reconsider your decision to try out.
Work - Cheerleading is as much mental as it is physical. It will not only place many demands on your body, but it will change your way of thinking too. You will be a part of a group that will strive to think and act as one. You will learn to think about the team first and base your decisions on what is best for everyone. Your squad will become your second family. Although you may disagree, there will be times you'll have to compromise.
Practices will be held on Tuesdays, Wendsdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
3p-6p on Weekdays and 9a-2p on Weekends.
Do you think you've got what it takes? Contact Seiya Mihara for more information.
All tryouts should be posted in this thread.
In-Character Rp form.
Yes, I realize that boys do cheer but that often leads to ackward situations...boys tryout at your own discretion.
An tryout would maybe be a dance routine or made-up cheer Rped as your character.
No less than ten sentences or lines. Deal. DX

Azahlia strutted out onto the field and looked about at the competition. She felt a little nervous but you'd never know it by the way she held herself confidently and proudly. She thought of herself as an attractive 17 year old, and although she'd endured many hardships (like running away from the orphanage, living on the mean streets, losing the only person she'd ever thought of as family, and finding her way through cities, valleys and forests just to get to Ria High), she still remained attractive and outgoing.
Zahli had never known anything about cheerleading, but felt as though she had no limitations in life, and as long as she tried her best, she'd be proud of herself.
She looked to Seiya, studied her aura, and came to the conclusion that she'd be someone Azahlia would get along well with. She bowed slightly as she'd been taught to at the orphanage, then raised her eyes and smiled.
"My name is Azahlia Blu, I'm new to Ria High, and relatively new to the concept of cheerleading. However, I am here to show you what I'm made of, and I'm confident that I can impress you Seiya."
She stood with her feet slightly apart, hands by her sides, and a mischievous gleam in her eye. She clicked her fingers and a CD flew from her backpack (which she'd left at the side of the field) into the stereo Seiya had near her. She clicked again and a hip hop beat started coming from the player, with what Zahli liked to call "some mad bass".
As Zahli's eyes lowered to the ground, and she zoned out from everything surrounding her and concentrated solely on her body, her hips started bouncing slightly from left to right. Suddenly, her eyes snapped back up, a bright grin on her face, and she began to cheer.
"You feel the vibe?
You feel that bass?
It's Ria High
Up in yo' face!"
As she called the first verse, she did a funked up version of the grapevine, arms pumping.
For the second verse she slid from left to right and back again, clapping at the end of each line.
"That vibe is maaaagic!
Aint ya heard the news?
We gots the POWWWWER!
No we can't lose!"
Now she did a cartwheel to the left, dropped down and did a quick breakdance she'd learned on the streets. She got up and cartwheeled to the right again, once more dropping to do a quick breakdance.
"Yeah, we gots the POWWWWER!
We can't be beat!
We gots the POWWWWER!
It works a treat!
Yeah, we gots the POWWWWER!
No, we can't be beat!
We gots the POWWWWER!
Now stomp your feet!"
And with that, she launched into a stomp and clap routine she'd seen some street musicians do once, creating a beat that was quite powerful and energetic. Her feet made a BOOM BOOMBOOM BABOOM sound along with the music, and her hands clapped together and slapped against her thighs with a smart SMACKSMACK SMACKSMACK SMACK!
She ran forward and did a flip, landing firmly on her feet and shouting,
"RIA!
GO, GO, GO RIA!
GO, GO, GO RIA!
Y'all hear that?
Say RIA!
GO, GO, GO RIA!
GO, GO, GO RIA!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RIA!"
and for a final little bit of showing off, she clicked her fingers and launched herself off the ground, doing 3 backward flips and landing in a split, with her arms raised, and a smile still shining from her face.
Azahlia puffed but stayed in her position, smiling at Seiya. She felt very proud of herself, and quite impressed that she'd mastered her telekinesis enough that she could launch herself into the air the way she had. She'd surprised even herself with her effort. She only hoped that Seiya would be thinking along the same lines. Butterflies were rampant in her stomach, but she wouldn't let it show, only smiling and calling to Seiya, "Was that ok?"

Cheyenne and Naomi made their way onto the field excited as ever. They were wearing some pink and white cheerleading outfit with Ria at the middle on their bust. They felt confident and a bti nervous at the same time as they saw another girl who had just performed who looked a bti older than them maybe around 17 like Suki and Sakii. They hadn't done cheerleading before only dances so this was a bit new but they watched movies like Bring it on and Bring it on Again..but even that was funny.
They looked to the head cheerleader Seiya and tried to read her as they went up with a nod. "Cheyenne and Naomi Snow" Cheyenne had the short hair and Naomi the long one.
They stood a few feet apart an snapped their fingers a beat of the Like Glue song as they licked their lips and began to cheer.
"Whos the baddest of them all?
Ria ria yeah we got it going on!
Whos the baddest of them all?
Ria ria yeah we got it going on!"
They made like a full rotation waving their hands up in the air getting ready for the verse waving their fingers.
"You may think we wack
but we not we cool
will kick your butt to anotha high school"
They repeat the chorus moving their arms back and forth along with their legs as they turn.
"We're the best cheerleaders on the track
we sent your momma packing out
We're the baddest of them yeah you heard?!"
For their finale Naomi laid down on the floor her head resting on her hand and Cheyenne standing behind her, hand to her hips tilting to the right. They both gave their fancy grins.
((yes i do suck at rhymes and stuff crying ))

Kali, Shinpan, and Shinsei took a deep breath, smiling softly. Their palms were sweaty and their hearts were racing, yet they were excited as ever. "Did you get the flip down, Shin?" Kali asked, look over to the long haired girl. Shinpan nodded, smilling brightly. Shinsei ruffled her pom poms as she patted down her outfit. They were all wearing plain white shirts with Ria High written across the chest and their names written on the back. Kali pulled up her elastic dance shorts, wanting to be as comfortable as possible. They all matched in the outfits, but Shinsei was the only one with short hair. Flipping their hair over as they bent down, all three tied their hair into high ponytails, Shinsei's shorter than her sister's and Kali's.
Shinpan grabbed her purse and pulled out a small tub of petroleum jelly, slipping out three cotton swabs. "Here. This'll help you remember to smile." she said, dipping the cotton swabs in the jelly before handing them over. The three rubbed the cotton swabs over their teeth, grimacing lightly. Shinpan put the jelly back in her purse and threw away the swaba as their names were called. Trotting out onto the field, smiling brightly as Kali handed one of the judges the cd before trotting into place. Kali was infront, the twins placed far beside her and set back a bit, forming an invisible triangle.
S.O.S. by Rihanna started to play as the three girls started. They shook their pom poms at their side then up in the air to the left and right as Rihanna started singing. The pumped their chest, standing to the side as their hips swayed to the music. Their was a sudden pause in the music as they all took a deep breath for their cheer.
"You might be good at foot ball!
You might be good at track!
But when it comes to magic you just might as well step back!
Come on, step back!
Uh-huh uh-huh we've got you beat!
So come on Ria, stamp your feet!"
They cheered, stepping back in unison, creating a beat as the song played again, flowing with the rythym. They shot their hands in the air, waist flowing with the beat as they slowly dropped to the floor. Placing their pom poms down, the launched themselves into a triple back flip, smiling as they landed in one beat. They marched forward, preparing for another cheer as the music faded.
"Why'd you come for a show?!
You won't win, so just go!
We rock your world,
you know we do!
We rock your world,
so just shoo!
It's time to leave,
time to go!
And we say,
this ends our show!
We beat you bad,
not just a tad!
No time to pout,
we're kicking you out!"
They cheered, kicking the air as they did a full rotation. That last seconds of the song played as they stomped and clapped in a hip hop beat, moving together for their final move.
"We're kicking you out!" they exclaimed, Kali squatting as Shinsei and Shinpan launched off her knees, flipping a few times in the air as Kali launched herself backwards, joining them. The all landed in a forward splits, hands up in the air shaped as a 'V'. They all smiled broadly, chest heaving as they glanced in all the watcher's faces. Picking themselves up, they trotted off the field in giggles, Kali retreving the cd as she joined them behind the bleachers.

( A lot of the audition is dance, up until after the first chorus, where Makie does all her gymnastics/cheerleading moves. <3 )Makie stepped slowly into the room. While she knew she was a bit scared, she loved dance and she loved gymnastics. So she thought she would try out. The audition shets said to either do a dance routine or made-up cheer. Obviously, Makie went for the cheer. With her semi long hair pulled back in a pony tail, and a boom box at hand, she went over and got ready for her try out. She had ankle white socks, and white shoes that were easy to dance in. The brunette also had on a white shorts and a pink tank top. She had no accesories on, since they can distract you while you cheer/dance. The brunette soon walked over, and put the boom box on a timer. It would start a half a minute later. She took a deep breath and followed Misty's advice. "H-Hi. My name i-is Makie Saiyuri. I'm th-thirteen, and I've been taking dance and gymnastics since I-I w-was little... S-So... I hope you give me a ch-chance." The small girl said not loudly, but not inaudible. She wanted this, so she was trying extra hard to be noticed. "Th-The music i-is Jump... By Madonna." With that, Makie began to get into position for her dance. She stood, feet apart, back to the judges. One hand was held up high, her head was tilted back a bit to look at it as well. Suddenly, the music kicked in. It had a nice beat. 5, 6, 7, 8. The brunette thought, slowly putting her arm, down and jumping around to face the judges. A soft smile was placed on her face. After she jumped around, the music kicked in with a harder beat. She stepped to the side on her right foot, lunging, circling her right arm over her head as she did so. She then brought her arm down in front of her chest, as she did a padeburé starting with her left foot. For those who don't know what it is, think stepping back with one leg, side with the other, then stepping forwards with the first leg. And it was very fast. Changing her weight, she was able to do an outside perriote on the left foot. In other words, she spun counter clock wise on the left foot. She held her arms in place, under her rib cage as she spun. When Makie came out of the spin, she stepped forward on her right foot then stepped back on the left foot and did sort of a body thrust, contracting her stomach, and flicking her hands forward. Afterwards, she stepped backwards three times, right left right, all the while turning herself around to face the back. She lunged to her left and then spun around twice, elevated on her toes as she spun. her right foot was crossed over her left shin as well. "There's only so much you can learn in one place,
The more that I wait,
The more time that I waste" After spinning, Makie crossed her right foot over her left, and then did a flick step with her left foot. Which means, her body facing forwards, she turned her left knee inward, flicked the foot, then crossed the foot in front of the right. Then she did a podeburé again, using her right foot to cross behind first. The brunette did another flick step with the left foot and then jumped to the side, diagonally back. her arms did a sort of slam dunk sort of position as she jumped. After jumping, Makie did another podeburé with the right foot, and then turned counter clockwise, her weight over her left foot. She came out of the spin, going down in a split. Her smile never fading. 3, 4, 5 and 6.. Makie thought, clapping her hands on 5 and 6. 7 and 8. By 7 and 8, she gracefully got up, facing the back, her right foot behind. In the small little musical break, Makie stepped forward on her right and did a little soldier turn. After, she jumped to the side, feet together. Her arms did another slam dunk motion, as she jumped. After she did a podeburé starting with her left foot. After she stepped side on her right foot, and did a sort of head spin, her fingers resting softly on ther side of her head. She also did a little pivit as she did her head spin, so she couldface the other side. Then the brunette did a small gallop on the left foot. "I havn't got much time to waste
It's time to make my way
I'm not afraid of what I'll face
But I'm afraid to stay" 1, 2, 3, 4... Makie thought after the gallop. She brought her foot up into a sail boat position. Her toes rested firmly against the side of her left knee. At the same time of the first count, she circled her arm around and then brought it down, elbow first. The elbow hovered over her thigh for the second count. For counts 3, 4, Makie stepped behind her left foot, falling down to the floor gracefully on the crossed feet. She also used her right arm to also break the fall. Her right leg rest on the floor, the right foot faced the back of the room. Her left leg was sort of in an upside down V position over the right leg. Her left hand rested on her left knee and her right arm was on the floor. She stuck out her chest, and her bum was facing perfectly to the back. 5, 6, 7, 8! Makie thought, getting up the first three counts. Her feet were together perfectly, she was almost like a straight stick. On count 8, she jumped out. By this time, Madonna was still singing 'Way~'. The music was very fast, and all movements had to be fast, but not look like a mess. Makie, however, made her moves very clear, even to the fast paced music. After jumping out, Makie jumped on her right foot and flicked her hands up into the air, then she brang her hands down as she put her left leg in back of her right. Her weight still remained on the right foot. Then she did the same, except strating with the left foot. Although it was super fast. The counts were; And 1, and 2. On count 3, she stepped out on her right foot and did a round kick with her left leg. You could have sworn she hit her face, and even as she rounded it, her leg stayed near her head. She was a bit more flexible on her left foot anyways. Also, as she did her round kick, her right arm did a sort of circular motion on the side. That was all on count four. On count 5, Makie put her left leg back, and then on count 6, she did a high kick, pretty much kicking herself on the side of the head. By this time the singer, Madonna stopped singing 'Way~'. There was a little music break for a few counts. Makie put her left foot down on count 7, sort of lunging as well, then did a quick step turn step. The counts for the turn was 8 and 1. Her arms were in jazz first. The third line of the verse kicked in on count 1. On count 2 she crossed her left foot over her right, then did a high kick to the side with her right leg. It brushed against the side of her head, but she wasn't as flexible on the right side then she was with the left. The next count, count 4, she stepped down on the right foot. Next Makie stepped out to the side on her left, doing a quick weight changed. She circled her left arm around at the same time. Then she crossed the left foot in front and did the same thing except on the right side. After Makie crossed her right foot infront of the left foot. By this time, the singer was holding down 'Stay~'. In the back ground you could hear distinctive beats. The first beat was on counts 1, 2, 3 and 4. On the first two counts Makie jumped together and kicked her outside leg on those beats, she jumped up and down on her inside leg as well on those beats. On the third count she jumped together, her hands resting on her left hip, for she was facing diagonally right making her left side the side you could see, and then she lunged out on her left foot on count 4. Then the brunette crossed her right over her left and turned around, all the while gracefully falling to the floor as she spun. Her position, on the floor was; Her left leg was bent, the left knee faced forward, her right leg stuck out to the side. Her foot was perfectly pointed. That was on count 5, 6, and 7. On count 8, Makie looked up smiling happily. The smile was natural, not forced, as dancing was what she does best and it was something she loved. I'm going down my road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of my own" After looking up on count 8, Makie turned her body to the side, while also bringing her right leg in for count 1. The singer began to sing again. On count 2 she stood up, facing the side, and on count 3, She flicked her right leg up to a perfect 90 degree as she faced the front. After that she crossed her right foot in front and then stepped out to a side, doing a weight change from her right foot to her left foot. Then she changed the weight back to her right by count 5. By count 6, she was facing the side, and she had brought her left toes, which was on the outside leg, to her right knee. Her arms were in a backwards 'L' shape. The next count, she stepped out on her left, lunging with her left hip out, her arms in a 'T' shape. That was count 7. Then Makie did a little step turn step to the back. The next count after that, count two, was the brunette stepping towards the back on her left leg, and then on count three, she did a little pivit to face the front. Her arms were in a high V and her leg was at a 90 degree angle to the front. After she stepped forward and then did a little cross side side movement twice. Once to the right, the other to the left. After Makie did a little pivit to face the left side. Her right side was now on the outside. her right arm rested on her right hip and her left arm, which was on the inside, was straight in the air. Her left foot was more forwards than the right one. ( IN PROGRESS -- I just didn't have enough time to finish it. )

Deserai pushed open the heavy double doors and took long, slow strides to the center of the gym. Her steps bounced, as the balls of her feet vibrated with her excitment, but she managed to keep it hidden. Her long lavendar hair was put up in a ponytail, but she still had this stupid piece of hair in her face that refused to grow long enough to put up. She smiled and pulled her shorts down, feeling they were too short, but they wern't.
She clapped her hands in a steady rythem. 1,2,3 123Her hand claps became faster before she cut them off and nodded her head. "Let's go Ria!" She said each word on a number, leaving the last 3 secounds paused for claps."R-I-A H-I-G-H, that's the way we spell Ria, Ria, let's go, Ria! Whoo!" She yelled quickly. She turned sideways and hit a CD that played L.O.V.E by Ashlee Simpson. She started with her arms forming a K, and a knee bent, to where she was balancing on one leg. Immediatly her left arm shot up diagonally and her right hand landed on her hip. She hopped and switched legs she was balancing on at the same time. Her bent leg landed on the floor and her arms made a T, with her left arm bent sharply, her legs shoulder length apart. Both of her arms went up to make a shape like a football goal and then they both bent towards the other, knuckles almost touching. She then turned around and ran, doing a running kartwheel into a back hand spring tuck. She landed firmly and turned on the heels of her feet. She bounded back to her spot in the center of the gym and turned off the CD player. She clapped 3 times like before, but she yelled,"Let's go Ria High. Bring on the pain, bring on the fury, bring all ya got, but we won't worry. Ria's got it all and we don't care, because we've beat them all, and they just stare in... Awe, shock, pure amazement, nothing we havn't seen. So come on team, we want a fight, so we can beat you down and we won't be light!" She shouted, clapping her hands in beat to the words. Occationally she'd raise her arms and make various signals to go with the words. Deserai ended with her hands on her hips, and not a bead of sweat to be seen.

Throughout the auditions Seiya sat quietly looking alomost bored.
Seiya flipped through the papers on her clipboard and glanced up occassionally at the girls who were hovering about waiting for the announcement of who had impressed her enough to be on the team. She'd already made up her mind about a few but there were a few she wasn't sure about. She hadn't gotten an offical listing of the number of girls that could be allowed but...
She blew a whistle hanging around her neck, and stood up showing off the pink, blue and white uniform. "You all did very well, which I found a bit...trying."
"Azahlia Blu, Makie Saiyuri, Kali, Shinpan, and Shinsei. You've all made the team." She glanced around and paused for the inevitable squealing to stop.
"If the girls I didn't call would step forward for a moment?" She asked flatly.

Naomi and Cheyenne looked and congratulated the other girls as they step up to Seiya and gave a soft bow. They held each others hand as they figured they failed. Neither one of them thinking they actually had a chance in cheerleading since they couldn't rhyme for their lives. Naomi gave a deep breath as she looked down at the floor then back at Seiya. There is always next time but i don't think Cheyenne would be to happy but we will survive. Naomi bit her lower lip and then licked it softly as she tightened her grip on her sister but stared straight into Seiyas' eyes. I knew it we shouldn't have done this but i don't wanna be a baby about this so... at least for now...yet we did our best They both gave a smile to Seiya and nodded.

Deserai stepped forward with the other girls. She looked at the doorway, where her crazy little sister was smiling and waving like a lunitic. Deserai turned her gaze up front and looked at the coach, while doing some serious thinking. I didn't do my best, that's why I didn't make it. Mom always said... She heard someone clear their throught (sp?) and she looked up front, blinking away the glazed over look she had.

Azahlia wasn't usually one for squealing and acting girly, but she couldn't help smiling brightly and whispering, "Yes!!" under her breathe as soon as Seiya had said her name in the same sentence as "made the team". She stepped back and looked towards the other girls who'd made it - Makie, Kali, Shinpan and Shinsei.
"So," she piped up, "looks like we'll be stuck together for a while, now that we're all on the team!" Zahli smiled a friendly smile, and thought to herself, Wow, these girls will practically be my sisters! I've never had sisters... or any family for that matter. This will be... nice. She could already sense, by checking out Makie's aura (and having her heart strings tugged affectionately by Makie's quiet plea for a chance), that she would gravitate towards the young girl as a bit of an older sister.
She knew that inevitably there would be disagreements and cat fights within the team at some point in time, that's how girls were, but she was excited to finally be making some friends at Ria.
