l .f? ':. 'HV Y HI lik? The drill team goes for a field goal! Six, Seven, Eight . . , lt',r lonely at the top! This year's drill team showed much dedication, hard work and creativity through their high level of excellence in performance. The team, which consisted of 32 dancing members, was one of the best ever. During December and january, they held two extra practices a week at 6:30 AM to prepare for the State Competition where they did very well. Most members agreed that the hard work was well worth it. Not only do the team members perform their dances, but take turns in teaching them to other members as well. It was a great opportunity to meet people and make lasting friendships, said one member.
