We have been performing at our home football games this year and will continue performing at our home basketball this winter. We plan to take a hip hop and Pom routine to state again this year in February. Along with state, we plan to go to a few other competitions! We have been doing a few fundraisers including face painting and a car wash. We will also be selling shirts in the next few weeks. I am excited to see the growth of this team continue throughout the year!” on October 21, 2024
