BDT Camp 2013

On June 24 - 26, my drill team went to Basic Dance Training Camp at Park City High School.  I couldn't believe it was time for camp already!  School just gets out and then next thing I know, drill starts up and we're going to camp.  I love BDT camp though!  It's fun to see the team start learning things and work together. 
Working out!
 This year, BDT had a lot of different work out classes for the coaches too!  I went to all of them--it was a challenge, but fun too!

Later that night was the Performance Night.  My team was performing their hip hop routine.  There were a lot of other great performances that night.  We were there with a lot of great teams!  The team performed great and I thought it looked the best I had seen it so far.  My favorite part was seeing them so happy with their performance when they came off the floor and were all hugging and celebrating!  That right there was enough for me, no matter what the end result was.
 Pics from the performance.
 Brittney and Jamie had some awesome hip hop facials going on!
 Love how they were getting into it!
 Lots of energy!
 
When they announced the team that won the performance night trophy, it wasn't Maple Mountain.  Hunter won it, and they had performed a pretty tight hip hop too!

 We won an Esprit de Corp award on the first night!
 
The next day was another full day of learning routines, technique, and workouts!  Here are some pics from the camp:

 Team hug!

 Day three began with a team cheer with our sister team, Granger.
 Lunch time!
 Always fun to have a little break from dancing and to eat good food!
 Jamie likes it!  HA HA
 Three girls made it into the drill down finals - Brooke Coleman, Brittney Peterson, and Bryn Starkey.
 All five of our "Top Corp" girls made it into the Top 40!
 Working on military technique.

 Kierney and Lauralyn were our instructors for our Be All You Can Be class.
 Our team won a military technique award, a hip hop master class award, and one of the main awards - Most Inspirational Team! 
Jamie Topham, our team president, was named one of the Top Corp dancers.  There were only six dancers chosen from this camp.
 
I was very proud of this team for all that they accomplished at BDT this year!  I'm so excited for this year!  Teamwork makes the dream work!
