Synchronization Accents Dance Floor Preparation Is The Key! Long before we started feeling the excitement . and anticipation, planning was underway. The cheerleaders scheduled Kentucky to entertain at the dance which was held at the armory and. planned the backdrop around the theme “Always Be Together.” The cheerleaders weren’t the only ones, however, who began preparing. The band practiced its special pre-game and halftime - entertainment. And let’s not forget the football team who steadily worked to accomplish their goal of team improvement, but whose hopes were partially damaged as quarterback Chris Brumfield suffered a broken arm during the game. While these people spent time in preparation the rest of the students arranged dates and special apparel for the weekend. It was about time when the moments arrived in their intense excitement. Now they are neatly tucked away in our fondest memories.
