Hi-Stepper Purpose
The purpose of the Hi-Stepper organization is to encourage quality performance, high academic standards, loyal school spirit, and high personal values among its members. Through the development of dance technique, leadership, cooperation, self-discipline, and sportsmanship in each individual member, the Hi-Steppers will fulfill their purpose for the benefit of Hutto High School and the community of Hutto Independent School District.
Rules and Regulations
As a member of the Hi-Steppers you must abide by all of the rules and regulations beginning on the date you successfully pass the audition. Membership on the team does not automatically qualify the member to dance with the team in every performance. Each girl will audition for every team performance. To qualify to dance with the team, each member must have mastered the choreography and perform it with perfected dance technique.
Standards
As a member of Hi-Steppers, each dancer must abide by a certain set of rules and regulations. This high code of conduct includes academic achievement as well as appropriate behavior in and out of Hi-Steppers.
Membership
Any student may request a try-out application from the Director during the announced sign-up period. A mandatory audition meeting is held prior to the auditions, for students who are interested, to sign-up and secure a place for the try-out process. Auditions shall be held during the Spring semester of the school year.
Length of Membership
A member of the team may remain a member until they graduate as long as all the rules and regulations are met. Regardless of classification, once a student chooses to drop off the team, it will be up to the directors' and administrators' discretion whether she will be allowed back on the team.
Auditions
Freshman, Sophomores, and Junior students may audition for the team in the Spring. Auditions include jazz, kick, and contemporary styles of dance, as well as turn, leap, kick, and split technique. The students will be selected by an independent panel of judges. Once selected, the students will be placed on a probationary Newbie contract for the remainder of the Spring semester and will officially step on the team after the last bell rings on the last day of school.
