Rangerette Manager/Beaus 2016-2017 Thank you for taking an interest in becoming one of the Rangerette managers/beaus for the 2016-2017 school year. What you would need to complete the packet: Picture of yourself Application/Contract (included) Most recent report card Three teacher recommendations (included) in a sealed envelope Dear Parents: Your son/daughter has expressed an interest in being a Beau/Manager for the Rangerettes Drill Team. The Beaus and Managers are extremely important in making things run smoothly at football games, competitions, and other events. Beaus and Managers help load the bus, set up the stands at football games, escort the girls to the restrooms and onto the field, and do various other things which help ensure the success of the Rangerettes. They attend all football games, competitions, and any other Rangerette performances. Beaus and Managers ride the bus to and from all events. These boys and girls will also be invited to any Rangerette parties such as the holiday party and end of year banquet. In order for your son/daughter to be invited to these events, he/she must be a member in good-standing. This means that your son/daughter must be passing all classes, and must attend all events unless approved in advance. He/She must also be passing all classes in order to attend games or events with the team. The Managers will be enrolled in 4th or 8th period (Your son/daughter and her counselor will be told which one.) Beaus will not be enrolled in class, but will receive a schedule of events and times. Attached is a parental agreement, stating that you approve of your student being a Beau or Manager. It also states that you approve of them attending events with the Rangerettes, riding the bus, and so on. As a manager and a beau, there are items that are required for the school year. Please see the Manager/Beau necessities list for a detailed price breakdown (see attached form). The deadline to have the completed application is Monday, March 21 at the mandatory parent meeting. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. My phone number is 713-522-5960 ext 406, and my email is twilli61@houstonisd.org. Thank you so much!
