 Tryout Week begins Sunday, October 12, 2008. Exact dates for Tryout Week 2008 are listed below. For more information on Song Girl Tryouts, please e-mail Dr. Justine Gilman (Program Advisor) at jgilman@usc.edu or Lori Nelson (Coach) at lorinels@usc.edu. The week begins with clinics at which applicants must learn TWO ROUTINES. The first routine is a pom routine to "Fight On!," the USC fight song. The second is a technical jazz routine. Preliminary tryouts are later that week at which the initial turnout of girls is cut to a small group of twenty to twenty-five finalists. The applicants must then submit to an interview. At final tryouts, each finalist must present two of their own original routines. Approximately twelve girls will be chosen and begin practicing immediately for basketball season. Applications will be available as Tryout Week approaches. Potential applicants are also encouraged to prepare for Tryout Week by taking dance classes at USC and observing Song Girl routines at USC sporting events and rallies. CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS Candidates shall be permitted to try out if they meet the following qualifications: 1) Shall be a student who has attempted and completed a minimum of twelve (12) units at USC by the end of the Fall Semester in which they are trying out. Spring admits are also welcome to try out. 2) Shall carry and complete an academic workload of at least 12 units each semester thereafter, if selected as a squad member. Being a USC Song Girl is a great opportunity privilege, and honor. Candidates should be informed that being a USC Song Girl takes a lot of time, energy, and dedication. Next to academics, it will take priority over such things as sorority functions, social activities, work, etc. Practices are held every week, and you are required to attend events over school holidays and breaks. Being a Song Girl is a unique and memorable experience, but requires time, patience, and dedication. TRYOUT WEEK 2008 DATES Clinic: Sunday, October 12, 2:30pm - 6:00pm P.E.
