I, myself, am also a varsity cheerleader. I would like to know what the crap you are talking about! Wearing hair down "tacky" what the heck. Yes we can wear earrings but no hoops just studs, no bobby ins, there is no PDA aloud, and no indecent exposure. I've seen squads do worse stuff than wear their hair down or wear earrings, like maybe wear their tops with jeans and no jacket and showing off half of their dang stomach, now if anything is "tacky" that is. No one wants to see that crap!
