School/Team Relationships

[Ashley Weed]

Do what ever it takes to convince the school that you shouldn't change your name. Our team changed after it's first year, because we branched off of another team. That year SWATT-2C was the name which included all of the schools involved. However, the third year the team grew and the name changed again to WATTNESS. That year, UP-CHUCK was used for a cheer, and everyone remembered it, and associated it with being the National Finalists. However, we didn't have a use for UP-CHUCK after that, and people didn't know us by WATTNESS. Now, after three more years of trying to get established, we may finally be accomplishing that after a very successful year. Moral of the story: DO NOT change your name, it will only hurt you.
