Go For It Camp - first camp for MMHS Drill

On June 18 - 20, I took eight members of the MMHS Drill Team to Go For It dance camp. It was a lot of fun for them. Four of the girls are officers and the other four just wanted to come. Usually I take the whole team, but this was their first time and so some of the team opted not to come. (It is an optional camp.)

The girls did really well. They were awarded the Sportsmanship award from the camp staff. We also had three girls in the Go For It dancer finals. On the last day of camp, they have all of the dancers come out and perform across the floor combinations for the staff until they are eliminated. Then the top eight, three of which were my girls, learn a dance combination on the spot and have to perform it in front of everyone and the staff then picks the top three dancers. One of my girls was selected as one of the top three! This has never happened to me as a coach before! So I was very excited. It was great! Here they are posing in the East High commons area. The camp was held at East High. You may recognize the area if you have seen the first High School Musical. We decided that the "E" stood for our team name which is Elleves. Eleve is a ballet term which means to rise up onto point. The theme of our school is "Education Elevated", so we decided we are dancers elevated or "Elleves." We added an extra "l" to the spelling. Hopefully everyone will learn our team name and say it correctly.
