2010 State Drill Team Competition

Yesterday was a full day with the State Drill Team Competition held at UVU in Orem. 1A, 2A, and 3A schools competed. B and I thought the Troyettes looked awesome, but the competition was steep. There were 17 teams competing in the 3A division. Our girls did not bring home a trohpy, but they are still winners to us!

The girls were there both Friday and Saturday, missing most of school on Friday. On Friday 4A & 5A schools competed, but the girls went and watched them dance. They got to go out to eat and then go swimming.

Saturday was crazy. Since Karlee is not dancing, she helps with hair and is pretty much in charge of the music. The girls' hair was beautiful, but very time consuming. Three braids along the side with messy buns along the back of their heads. Karlee was extrememly stressed as she help so many girls with their hair, with not enough time to accomplish the task. Then off to competition, hauling in all her stuff as well as the music paraphanelia. All of this stress added to the stressfulness of State Competition just about put Karlee over the edge. Long story short, Karlee ended up in the InstaCare in Orem that afternoon. She is fine, just scared her mom with stroke/heart type symptoms. (Numb & tingly left arm & hand & neck. Numb lips. Difficulty breathing.) Totally stress induced, and totally stressed out her mom too!

Dance performance. This is the Troyettes doing Karlee's favorite turn - she can do like 20 of em in a row.

This is someting that is very rare to see in a drill competition. The Troyettes and Juan Diego (Region rivals) have become friends - actually cheering each other on and off the floor for their competition routines. Usually each team sits in a circle, but these two teams have one big circle comprsied of the 2 teams. The Troyettes are in marroon and Juan Diego is in Navy. There are plans to have a mega drill party with the two teams. Our girls are awesome!

Juan Diego scored a 4th place in one of their routines, and here is Morgan jumping up and down with them, excited for them.
