KU Dance Team (fka Crimson Girls) AlumniSpirit Squad Alumni Email ListA KU Spirit Squad Alumni email list has been set up so that we can all stay in touch and spread the word about alumni events.

KU Spirit Reunion: Oct 16, 2010In the spirit of tradition, we’ll reunite to cheer the Jayhawks at every home football game against Kansas State (which occurs every other year in Lawrence). The next one is October 16, 2010. All former Spirit Squad members, including cheerleaders, yell leaders, Crimson Girls, Baby Blues, Rock Chalk Dancers, Red Peppers, Jay Janes, KuKus, PomPon girls and mascots, are invited to attend. This spirit-filled day will include a pre-game tailgate and pep rally on the Hill, the chance to reminisce with former spirit members, an opportunity to attend the game and in-game recognition. Watch your mail and e-mail this summer for additional details, lodging information and registration forms, or visit the Alumni Association's Spirit Reunion page. For questions, please contact Nikki Epley, director of reunions, at nepley@kualumni.org or 785.864.9769 (toll free at 800.584.2957). Alumni Records ProjectWe're trying to create a record of all the names and a photo of every KU dance team, and we need your help! Please email Corey (corey@kucheer.com) any info you can remember that isn't already listed (or correct any mistakes you see): names of squad members (including yourself!), coaches, and coordinators, squad photos, and nationals results. And make sure you include the school year (eg, "1985/1986") for each piece of info, and if possible list names with their maiden name and married name (eg, "Jane (Doe) Smith"). An asterisk next to people indicates that they're on our email list. 2007/2008Coach: Tasha Ruble; Coordinator: Cathy Jarzemkoski
