The Drill Team has several fundraisers throughout the
year. The first of which takes place directly after tryouts. Each
member has to sell food and gift items to pay their own way to Drill
Team Camp during the summer. Each girl is responsible for providing
funds for several things throughout the year including: camp fee,
three camp outfits, two pair of shoes, gloves, bloomers, scrunchies,
etc. What the girls don't earn in profit comes out of their pockets,
which makes for a good selling incentive.
The second fundraiser comes later in the year at one
of the first home football games. The Team puts on a tailgate supper
where they serve hotdogs, hamburgers, beans, chips and jello cake.
The tickets are sold ahead of time by the girls or can be purchased
at the door. The event is usually a big success and this year it has
earned more than it has in previous years.The tailgate supper profits
also go to help the team attend camp in the summer.
