Dance Guard Groups Sparkle EY ' Isn ' t that Charlie Cha- plin? Almost but not quite. ctually it was the newest addition to the BSR ' s small group teams, the NO- VELTY DANCE TEAM. The group incorporated silent film characters and dance moves to create an off the wall routine that was truly unique. Each girl dressed as Charlie Chaplin completing the costume with a bowler hat and a cane. The group competed at several competitions where they were well received by the crowd. The rou- tine was really fun to perform, com- mented Lisa Baylis, We loved the au- dience the audience loved us. It was great! In addition to the Novelty team the WINTER GUARD, the flag and rifle team, and the SMALL DANCE TEAM represented North as well. The teams were made up of members of the BSR ' s drill team and colorguard that performed with the band during the fall. The groups attended competitions on Saturdays at high schools through- out Southern California. One such competition was the Miss Drill Team USA pageant where the Small Dance Team competed against other teams from around the country. They took first place and were named the United States Small Dance Team National Champions. The team also won an all-expense paid trip to the World Finals which were held in Japan. Winter Guard member Mike Harrison summed up the season with, We are very proud of all the teams. Though we ' re all different we all work towards one goal: To be the best at what we do. Stepping back in time, Gayla Tilsworth per- !■ jrms a zany Charlie Chaplin routine. The novel- ty team was the newest addition to the BSR ' s small group teams.
