Let's face it, a majority of us have already graduated from high school and the pep flag competition it contains.
Let's change that.
We're looking for ANY individuals with pep flag experience to participate in an All Star / Collegiate Pep flag team based at California State University Long Beach...
UPDATE
We finally have someone volunteering to coordinate our team: Loren Pendilla. You may remember him as being the coach for Bishop Montgomery Short Flags until 2005. If all goes well, we should have everything ready by this Summer for preparation of the next season.
A few have already made their mark in bringing pep flags to the collegiate level such as at University of California San Diego or at Duke University on the East coast.
California State Long Beach houses a number of pep flag alumni who have graduated from the top high schools including Bishop Montgomery, Carson, Channel Islands, Long Beach Poly, Narbonne among others. It gives the opportunity for the team to already have some knowledge in both twirling and performing.
All we need, is someone to coordinate these talented group of individuals into forming a single team. This includes discussing it with the CSULB spirit / club administration, recruitment, practice time, leadership capabilities, choreographer, etc.
If you're interested in coordinating this effort, or even just joining the team itself (it will be open to anyone 18+ not just CSULB students), please comment!
We want to expand our community!

YAY count me in on this all star team. i'd be SUPER interested.
: ]
haHA.
i'm definitely interested! since we talked for hours about it on the chatterbox. i just don't know how involved i would be... (i.e. just a member? choreography? coaching? coordinator?) i guess it all depends with school and coaching CI. =)
i'm down though! let's do this!
I count myself in!
finally my dream of seeing an expansion of pep flags in the collegiate level has come true :) i so hope this works out! i won't be able to coordinate anything since i'll only be here a semester but i'd love to participate in the meantime in any way i can
JEN! Haha oh how I miss Monday nights! and twirling before class LOL. But ugh, so sad you are doing this NOW as I graduate and leave for youknowwhere! ;( Can I still try out? haha ;)
Count me In, I'm totally interested... Can't hardly wait.
If I only knew how to twirl, I'd be right there!
Will the position be volunteer based? What is the commitment level you are interested in?
I'm sure the commitment level is nothing like what we have in high school. College kids have varying schedules, not only with school but with work as well, so it will be hard to coordinate times for practice and performances. But I do hope this is something that finally materializes. GOOD LUCK and GO BEACH!
This is awesome! Really awesome.
I was at Long Beach State, too, when I juggled school, coaching short flags, and working full-time oh-so-long ago.
I have lived some since those days at the Beach, and I have to say, I'm a little torn about the idea of you lucky young adults committing what free time you have to a team. For example, although I am so grateful for the life-long friends I made through the BeachPAC, I realized only later that I was in my comfort zone and I could have used my time to truly delve into the other broad, life-shaping experiences that college has to offer.
And I tell you that I'm torn because...what I said above just sounded really mature...and boring!
To that end, I say, "Dude, if I were still in the area, I would totally volunteer!"
hey "let's go knights"... you coached? bishop? what year(s)?
haha no takers yet on actually coordinating this thing..
a flag twirler but what if i have no experiences what so ever yet i have an idea..?? would i be able to join in the Collegiate level..?? There is always room for IMPROVEMENT lol
~~~ ANoNYMOUS Guy~~~~
YES! i've always wanted to do this even when i was still in high school! :] count me in too!! xD
HEY if anyone in VEGAS wants to do a team id be down.... just need the ppl though....
why dont u make a team with that melissa guy/girl from vegas? and isnt that one guy from carson in vegas too, adestey? that would b cool if u guys got together!
im down...lets do this!!
I'm always down for something new but what if you don't have experience in short flags? but has experience in other spirit teams? i.e. dance,songs,cheer,hiphop,drill.etc.
is there gonna be a cut off age of people who could participate? the last i twirled (at the hs level) was 4 yrs ago ..and i miss it. =/!
Let's hear from Loren! Why were you interested in the job? What are your plans?
OMG! this is amazing! I would love to be part of this team =)
i hope that our uniforms won't look like we're still in high school! ew. we should definitely look collegiate!
I'd love to be part of the team! and I'm so excited that its at CSULB. :)
Oooooooo. This sounds fun! I wish this team was formed earlier! I'm graduating from CSULB this Spring and am moving back to Oxnard in the Fall. & I don't want to commute, but we'll seeeee. I'm contemplating though. ;D
I miss performing.
