Utah Valley Competition at Alta - Last Invitational

On Saturday, January 9th, the MMHS Elleves competed in their last invitational competition of the season. It was a great competition and we competed against three other teams from our region.

A couple of the girls being crazy before we performed our hip hop:

Team lunchtime:

We had to vacuum our room at the end so we could get our room checked off, and the vacuum was the highlight of the clean up! They said it looked like a "Ghostbuster" vacuum. At least we didn't have any problems getting someone to vacuum--they all wanted to try it out!

A team prayer before going down for the awards:
Team pep talk about good sportsmanship--no matter what!

The team with their trophies:

We ended up taking 2nd in Kick and 2nd in Hip Hop, 3rd in Military, and 3rd in Dance! We were excited once again. One of our team goals this year was to place at every invitational competition. Well, not only did we make that goal, we surpassed it! We placed in the top 5 at every competition with each of our four competition routines! That is so awesome, especially for a first-year team!

Now we are gearing up for Region and State! Region is on January 21st at MMHS at 6 p.m. I am nervous but also excited. It should be a great competition--our region is very competitive and each school has a good drill team. State is on January 29th at UVU.

Only two more weeks now of hard-core competition for drill team. After that, all the pressure will be gone!
