Camps, competitions, and a lot of practice are only some of the activities which the cheer and drill squads get to participate in. They do these things with all of their spirit. Here to cheer The are the girls that ralh the troops, at games, pep rallies, and other such events they are the cheer and drill teams. Even though the make it all seem easy and flowing, it takes a lot of work to get all of the participants coordinated, and in synch with each other. It ' s really a lot of fun being in one of the squads, but it does take a lot of ;time to learn the various routines that we do. We practice all week, during sixth and sometimes after school, it does take a lot of hard work, but it ' s worth it. said ninth grader Cheryl Markenson. As a team a lot of the cheer and drill squads help each oth- er. They support their fellow teammates. They support the teams also, they follow both Ju- nior Varsity, and Varsity teams, on the road and at home, to keep their spirits up. All of their hard work and practice does not go unreward- ed either. They have workshops during the summer at various college campuses, where they can learn new routines and meet other cheer and drill team members from all over the state, and during the year they participate in several competi- tions against different schools. Being in the Junior Varsity drill team is a great experience for me. It ' s true that we do prac- tice a lot, but it is worth it. We not only prepare to cheer on the home team, but we also get to compete at various tourna- ments against teams from all over. said Pilar Jackson tenth grader. It feels great to be a Song- leader, because we get people into the game, into the cheers, and into just being there, we cause an electricity between people. Jumping, yelling, screaming, anything we can do to get the people into the game makes me feel great, said elev- enth grader Teresa Nunes.
