Guest: Miranda Richter
Hosted by: Kelli Woodruff

Game day is about so much more than the few minutes a dance team spends performing on the field.

In this episode, I’m joined by longtime dance team director Miranda Richter to talk about everything that happens beyond the halftime performance—from the final school bell to the ride home.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Preparing, packing, and organizing before the buses roll
• Delegating responsibilities to officers, managers, parents, and other game-day helpers
• Pregame logistics and those little details directors have to remember
• Stand etiquette, stand dances, and keeping dancers engaged throughout the game
• Third-quarter breaks, away games, and game-day procedures
• The traditions and little moments dancers remember long after the season is over
• Miranda’s tech tip for using Google Keep to make game-day organization easier

Whether you’re heading into your first football season or your fifteenth, this episode is full of practical ideas to help game day run a little smoother—and a reminder that some of the best memories happen beyond the 50-yard line.

BONUS RESOURCE: Miranda generously shared some of the actual checklists and resources she uses with her team. You’ll find them linked below in the show notes!
