As most of you know i teach my own dance team. Actually it's a color guard team but you really can't do guard with out learning dance techniques just like in Cheer. Timpanogos has adopted the name Dance Guard for our team. I really should start referring to the team as a Dance Guard. I'm going off on a tangent.
On Saturday, the 31st, was our first competition of the season. My little team of 9 placed 2nd in our class. Now granted that is out of 4 people but check out the scores.
1st place 57
2nd place 54
3rd place 38
4th place 26
So i'm not too far from first place but 3rd and 4th. Wow! I totally more than doubled 4th places score. So i do think that's an accomplishment and i was the first to perform in the class. Not to take anything away from the 1st place performance (it was a good show) but they performed last in our class. I'm sure i would have been closer to there score or may have gotten 1st. If i performed right before them or right after. The judges just forgot about us. Springville took home first I believe we going to be the two fighting for first the next 2 months.
I'm really proud of my team. I have 9 students and of the nine one has done winter guard before. Two more have only done fall. So that leaves 7 newbie's that started learning this at the beginning of December. Not Bad at all. We have a long long long way to go before we have a perfect show but a 54 for the first competition is not too shabby.

Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey
