They could hear the shouts and cheers that came down from the stands. The band stood on the other side of the field preparing themselves for their opening number. The Brigade Belles stood proud and still, awaiting their first note. The music began and they strutted onto the field. With sparkling smiles and nervous hearts, they proceeded to the center of the field. The whistle blew and they hit their first position. Some of them were now concen- trating on remembering the routine, some were saddened because this was to be their last performance, and others were too petrified to even think. The music began and so did their performance. With every high kick they could feel their smiles fading and their legs slowly weakening. As they continued to dance, their ex- haustion began to show in their faces. The dance was at its end and bigger and brighter smiles flashed across their faces as they hit their ending pose. With the sound of the whistle they broke their position and proceeded to proudly strutt off the field knowing that their performance was a successful one. Halftime activities were over and sadness settled in the hearts of the senior members, for they knew that was their Last Dance. Walking back to their seats in the stands they began to reminisce on all the hard and strenuous practices it took for each performance. Thinking back on all the nerve wracking week- ly tryouts and wondering whether or not they made this week's perfor- mance. They also remembered the unforgetable friendships they made during the season. Friendships that would last a lifetime. Being a part of the Brigade Belles was one of the best experiences I could ever have had. The friend- ships and knowledge l have gained will remain with me for a lifetime, stated Cindi Baronoskie. The Brigade Belles display pride and spirit during the school song. Brigade Belles entertain the audience during homecoming halftime with their streamer routine. E i ll dps by I i
