Twelve Dancing As One

“5, 6, 7, 8, go!” are words that are often heard at the beginning of a routine. The drill team has to practice many hours to be precise, exact, and on beat with the music.

“Drill team is not just getting together and dancing at halftime, it’s a team effort of learning and perfecting routines, to work together as one.” Sara, sr., said.

The team earns money to go to camp by participating in fundraising activities including the annual tailgate supper and selling food and miscellaneous items in the spring. At camp, the team members stay in dorm rooms at Emporia and learn 10-5 different routines vary from jazz, kick, funk, to pom.

“Drill team takes talent, time commitment, and dedication, and dedication.” Ashley, jr., said.

If you want to help the team along at the end of a song get ready to say with them “6, 7, 8, and pose!”
