It is a good ex- perience that kind of relates to school because I memorize things better and I ' m not so embarrassed to get up in front of everyone, junior Jenny Palmer said. Drill team is good for me to ex- press myself. I like the people I ' ve met, said sophomore Cindy Velez. I want people to know that we are really hard working and whatever we accomplish we really try for. The team has had no major down- falls. The girls have really turned around and we are more together and organized this year, Miss Ela said. Their achievements motivate them. I like seeing the bubbling en- ergy of all the girls. The girls also gained more de- served respect and recognition. Drill Team is harder than it looks. 1 want the school to appreciate the hard work we do when we dance and perform, jenny Palmer added.
