FO R TH E TROJ A N E T TE S , this year was one for the books!
As with many other groups this year, we were faced with numerous obstacles and challenges. One thing that remained strong and true was the meaning and heart behind their team theme, "Dancing for Him." This year we launched our Dance Technique Classes in the summer, which helped strengthen and improve the girls’ technique and conditioning. They learned and perfected their field and competition routines during our pre-season camps in August. The Trojanettes had a fantastic football season performing at halftime under the Friday night lights.
TROJANETTES
The team launched into the competition season in January at TAPPS, where MADELINE PRESCOTT received the prestigious Leap Award. We placed third overall as a team in our virtual second competition with American Dance/Drill, and OLIVIA OUIMETTE won first overall with her solo. We ended with a spectacular “Old Hollywood” themed banquet hosted by our social officers. Our director awards were presented to CAROLINA ANDERSON for Radiance, CECE BOGDA for Beautiful Transformation, Madeline Prescott for Miss Congeniality and ASHLEY WOO for Team Leader. The coaches and parents are proud and amazed how these girls handled this pandemic with grace and resiliency. We will miss our incredible seniors! Go, Trojanettes!
