  • She has ownership of the name "Victoriadores" via assumed name filing and that is good for 10 years.

    Well, I can't cook, if this is right, it's news to know. That's worth posting, all right, minus all the name calling...

  • SOS from disgruntled parent. "My baby didn't make it in v'dores so I'm going to name call and say bad, bad things about v'dores."

    Get a life.

  • if all my buds on the differ boosters have new guidelines set by new AD I am sure this group does as well. If not the AD will have his hands full.

    I think all materials should be sold and let each side start over. who cares if you have $1000 or $35k in your account or net worth. the isd is not gonna set aside $ to equal what the other didnt get. looking for trouble there.

  • ..and btw, I am glad to have DJ at West!

  • Wire5050,

    I'm going to call you out before the spelling police (SugarMagnolia) gets to you. It is "clique" not click.

    and btw, Julian is correct. Technically, it is the MHS Dance & Drill team. DJ just kept the Victoriadore name on her own...and who cares?

  • Tuff that's the way it is. It's a click, thats part of the problem with VISD. They come to your business and want your money for support, then they bring you a little card for thanks and thats it never see them again or a thank you.

  • "It's a place for rich girls to hang together." - Wire

    We aren't rich. In fact, my wife and I both have to work to make ends meet. My daughter was a member of the drill team, and I very much resent your petty comment.

  • Roberttx, she's going to West.

  • just wanted to get in before this thread is locked.

    has dj announced which hs drill team she's going to over see ?

    honestly, she needs to be over BOTH H.S. She's very good at what she does.

  • juliancavazos - I am with localgirl and edithann - maybe you need to study issues a little deeper before shooting off a reply.....and starting with the proper spelling of "victorIAdores" would help as well. Please do your homework.

  • Its a place for rich girls to hang together.

  • Being a member of MHS Dance/Drill team is not an accomplishment that is easily forgotten. Former dance team members often return to help choreograph,
    to administer our line camp, to critique, or to just enjoy watching the team. Truly, we are a team that countless former Victoriadores still consider
    themselves a part of.......

    Yesterday, Today, and FOREVER a "Victoriadore"!

    THE ABOVE WAS COPIED DIRECTLY FROM THEIR WEBSITE....ONLY D.J.JAYNES and her chosen can get away with keeping something that was suppose to be changed TEN years ago. Victoriadores are no more important than any other organization in the school system and yet the name is kept. Check out the trademark (whatever it's called) that is owned by Jaynes.

  • Julian-- Go here and then come back and tell us you believe what you just wrote:

    www.victoriadores.org

    Seriously. Everyone got the message except D.J. Jaynes. Check out the year of the photo, and what it says on the T-shirts.

  • Technically, the name Victoreodores ended when the school consolidated in 1999-2000. Even though people still call them the "Victoreodores," that is not their official name anymore. Their official name is the MHS Dance and Drill Team.

    March 29, 2010 at 10:19 a.m.
  • Are they not named the Victoriadores?
