Drill Team events for the month of September included some awesome halftime performances at football games, Homecoming events, and working concessions at BYU football. School and drill was in full swing. Here's some highlights.
Me and the Elleves working BYU Concessions
I had the fine opportunity to experience what it's like when there's a huge downpour of rain and wind just before a football game is about to start. There was a rain delay--so we were stuck in our booth for about an hour. All of the fans headed for shelter under the bleachers and so we were locked in by people. It was a great experience. . . NOT! But we made the most of it and had fun!
This year, for the Homecoming Carnival, we did a fish pond. It was a great success--we ran out of prizes!
We helped the cheerleaders make signs for Homecoming.
There was a football with each player's name and number.
The team also made "Home of a MMHS Elleve" signs to hang on the door of seniors on the drill team's houses.
The drill team also had lunch together on Friday.
They had two performances that day. We performed the BDT Edge routine, "Bones", in the Homecoming Assembly. Then for the Homecoming game they performed "Feel This Moment". This picture is just before we headed outside to the football field.
Some pictures from the performance - taken by Jeff Pocaro.
The crowd loved our performance. I think it helped that it was to a familiar song.
It was a fun energetic routine with some fun visuals.
The team wore our new maroon lace tops.
They did great--too bad MMHS didn't win though. But, they were playing Pleasant Grove--a very good 5A football team.
The next week MMHS was playing cross town rival, Spanish Fork. The drill team had to practice outside in the morning when it was a little bit chilly and windy! Here's the team huddling under the bleachers trying to stay warm!
We hosted a friendship party with the Spanish Fork Las Chalitas Drill Team before the game started.
It was fun. They are back in our region, after being 3A the past two years.
After eating, both teams went down to the gym to play "Man Overboard".
It was fun and it appeared like both teams were having a great time.

Entering the field.
The gold jackets are 4 years old now--but they still look good on the field.
They wore their new "spikey" hats. They looked good too!
I think their hair looks so cool in this picture!
They performed very well that night!
You could tell that they loved this routine.
It was fun to watch them perform.
I was very proud of them.
Great job Elleves!
