Boys dress up in their best dance costumes and perform at pep rallies.
Say what you will about Minnetonka High School guys, you can’t accuse them of being shy. The school has a long-running tradition in which the boys dress up in their best (female) dance costumes and perform at pep rallies as the “Male Rettes.” YouTube user Destiny Maddox posted a video of the 2012-13 Male Rettes performance a week ago. Watch the video in the player above (and a Google search will turn up many more performances from earlier years). Have you or your son performed as a Male Rette?

The Bulldogs’ home baseball opener will take place Wednesday.
UMD Bulldogs fans in Minnetonka will be able to catch a game a little closer to home this week. “Inconsistent spring weather” has forced the University of Minnesota Duluth to move its home baseball opener to Minnetonka High School, the university announced Tuesday. The Bulldogs will take on Concordia University-St. Paul in a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) doubleheader. First pitch is at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. Weather has plagued Bulldogs baseball this season. After cancelling its NSIC-opening series against Augustana College, it’s had to relocate every league game through April 14.
