If you ever watched Bring It On Again 2, the girl just wore and sports top and shorts. I think u should wear what you think u'll feel compfortable in.

I suggest that you should wear one of two things:  the first is a nice cocktail dress that isn't red, or black and not too revealing.  Or possibly wearing a cute suit.  You really can't go wrong in a suit.  \nAs for your hair look through magazines for ideas.  I'm sure you'll look just great!

If your choir has a uniform, that would be appropriate, plus women should wear some type of head covering. Perhaps you could get uniform head coverings...such as light wt. vales or hats. If no uniforms wear Conservative clothing,comfortable , light wt. fabric.  Cover arms

Ok... this might help.\nVoice: Standing up straight should make you sound alot better.  My coach taught me a method: breath in, and as you are breathing out yell in a peppy and enthusiastic voice.  Don't speak too fast, or too serious, you want to brighten up the faces of your judges.  \nJumps: Jumps are best practiced on a spring floor or trampoline.  If there is a specific jump you need work on, research tips online or in books.  Don't forget to smile when you jump, I know it's hard, but it is great when the judges look at it.\nMotions: Move your body swiftly to the motion you are performing, and then lock it!  Keep it stiff and hold tight.\nTumbling: This sounds silly, but you can practice your tumbling skills and have fun at the same time.  I sometimes practice while watching TV... listening to music... yeah.  Get a friend to spot you in this kind of stuff.\nFitness:  Work on sit ups, push ups, and other exercises for about 1-2 mins at a time.  Lift 2-3 pound weights a few times a day, eat healthy.\nHow to deal w/ mean cheerleaders: Just ignore them, get some REAL help.\n\nGood luck at tryouts! You'll do great!

The cheerleaders at my high school?  Good luck!  I just like the miniskirt part of the uniform...  Now, wait.  Isn't there a SHORT-sleeve version of that?  You want NO sleeve?  That would look weird...  I do remember seeing a short-sleeve uniform allowed for the private schools around here for warm weather.  I'm not sure if they are still required to wear a vest with that or something...  Didn't go to private school.

Are you talking about what the judges like to see for tryouts? \n\nOh, Hun, I can help.\n\n-Hair, always pulled back away from face in a neat tight ponytail.\n-Clothes, no baggy clothes, tight but reasonable, not trampy tight. Wear your school colors.\n- Don't wear jewlery, makeup, and NEVER chew gum!\n- Skills like splits, all jumps like toe-touches, herkies..., carwheels, roundoffs, backhandsprings, fronthandsprings, backtucks...\n- Personality should be peppy, enthusiastic, punctual (on time), prepared, and always pay attention and give it your all! \n\nGood luck in making the squad!

Since you're only 15 I would just wear a nice pair of pants (not jeans..preferablly black pants) and kitten heels, a nice collared shirt or something professional looking.  Don't wear anything revealing, tight, low cut, etc.  Have your nails manicured (or at least trimmed to one lenght...do not wear bright colors).  Have your hair pulled back from your face in a bun or pony tail.  This will make it less easy to tug at your hair if you're nervous.  Normally for job interviews I suggest bringing a resume in a nice neat folder..but since this is your first job, you won't need to do that.  I would bring a list of 3 references (not family members.) typed.  Just remember to be yourself, smile politely, have proper grammer, do NOT chew gum and answer the questions they ask your honestly.  goodluck.

As a current cheer coach, first and foremost I would have to tell you to be ready.  Know your routine backwards and forwards, and keep your movements sharp.\n\nBe loud, but not shrill....use your diaphragm.\n\nBe enthusiastic and don't stop smiling.  Most of all have a good time.\n\nGood luck

It depends a lot on the type of position you're applying for.  I taught professional development for years, and have written books on the subject and with no more info than you've given my suggestion is to where the best shirt possible while dressing for the position you're interviewing.  The safest color is always a professionally laundered white shirt with a dark rep style tie.\n\nIt is best to dress too conservatively and businesslike than to dress too casual or flashy.

I like Easton's Mesh shorts with the deep pockets.  Try, if you have a good enough budget, one of Nike's breathable shirts the are pretty cool too.  Hats sre good if you sweat alot.  The same with headbandes.  Also make sure you have some shoes that are cross training or tennis shoes that don't mark the court.  If you want some nice cheap ones (say if your still growing) go to Big 5.

To get in shape for cheerleading, you need to start RUNNING! Oh, I know, GROAN. You can even roll your eyes if you want to, but seriously, you need to. I hated running, but I wanted to get on the squad, and you need to be able to run at least a mile with no struggles. SO, start by running around the block or your neighborhood. Then get going like 1/2 mile, mile, mile and 1/2...so on. \n\nStart lifting weights. Unless you are the lightest person on the team, you are going to be lifting people and supporting your own weight during stunts. Lift a 2 or 3 pound weight and do 10 - 15 reps every other day.\n\nYou need to strengthen your core (back, abs...), so sit ups and crunches are good. Start with 20 every other day and work your way up...\nEat fruits and veggies, eat in good proportions, drink lots of water, and good luck for cheerleading!

Wear anything that looks nice and you feel good in.  There is no set dress code.  It is your wedding so you need to feel good about it.

Probably that you have a cheer voice, are enthusiastic, committed to the routines and learning.  They aren't going to expect you to know everything, since it's your first tryout, but by high school you will have to be experienced, so start now if you really want to do it.

My cheer team went to Nationals in March, and the best  thing besides being 100% prepared and completely confident in every move, jump, and stunt is to practice in front of an audience.  \n\nFind out how large the floor you'll be performing on is, and measure the outline with tape on the gym floor or wherever you practice.  Go over how you will enter and exit the floor again and again.\n\nInvite everyone you know to watch your squad perform.  We had more experienced cheerleaders and coaches from other teams critique us, and we performed three times.  The bigger the audience, the more you will be prepared for the competition.\n\n\nMake sure to practice your facials, especially in front of an audience! Sometimes when you're nervous, you think that you are smiling but you aren't.\n\nMake sure to be full of spirit, because that's one of the things that the judges will look for!\n\nHave lots of fun, good luck!

Im on the cheer team, and it's not as hard as it sounds. Don't let other people scare you.\n\nIf they have open gym type things, or open practices go to them! (They will teach you the basics so you get an idea of what you will be doing/how to do it) They will benefit you greatly! If the team your trying out for dosn't have them, look up a local gymnastics cheer gym/club, call them up and ask if they have anything where beginners can come and learn the ropes before tryouts.\n\nIf you don't check out something like that, then work on your flexibility now. Practice jumps (if you know the techniques..if you don't & you know someone on the team ask them to show you what to do...this is where those open practices come in handy!)\n\nWork on getting fit. You don't have to be in amazing shape to make cheer because they will get you in shape once your on the team, but it dosn't hurt to start getting your stamina/strength up now.\n\nIn tryouts, learn the dance & cheer and perfect it as much as possible. Even if you screw up in tryouts, just keep going. Don't stand there doing nothing, this will show the judges/coaches that you won't freeze on the mat during a competition or something & that you are resourceful. Do facials, or at the very least just smile! Make it look like you want to be there.\n\nKeep a positive attitude no matter what, and try your best. \n\nIf you can tumble or have cheer/dance experience this will help you in tryouts, but it's not neccisarry. I had no experience what so ever, and so did many people who made the team with me so no worries if you don't.\n\nIf you are interested in learning to tumble, once again call up those local gymnastics gyms and ask about open gyms/practices where you can go and learn. Being able to tumble will give you an advantage, but once again it is not neccisarry, so if your not comfortable flipping then don't sweat it!\n\nHonestly, if your really ambitious and show the judges/coaches that you truely want to be there and want to make cheer a part of your life then you should have no problem! No one is amazing their first time, so if you mess up don't worry. They will take into consideration you have no experience. Do your best & everything will work out!\n\nGood Luck :)

Hot pants and a tube top.  White boots would be great!  Don't have white boots, try a pair of Candies' mules (platforms).  Put your hair in a ponytail on top of your head...can't do that, got an afro wig...white preferably.
