Not only did they receive "superior" recognition for all of their routines, Fight Song, and home routine, but they also received a "most improved program" award from last year's camp to this year's. As their coach, knowing how much effort they put into the team last year, I could not be more proud.
The Cheerleaders have been hard at work too. They came back to campus on August 8th to begin their preseason training and have been doing great!
Coming up, AU Spirit will take part in our third annual tradition of moving in freshman to their dorms. We love seeing the excited faces and enjoy helping to make the freshman's first official day on campus a spirited one. In addition to our practices, we'll also be holding two carwashes to kick off our fundraising efforts for the 2009-2010 season. After a great first year at Nationals in April, we can't wait to go back, but need all the fundraising support we can get! More information on the location and times of these carwashes to come.
Perhaps what we're most excited for though is our fall tryouts. On August 28, 29, and 30 we'll be holding tryouts for the 2009-2010 team. We've had some great interest, and can't wait to meet our newest members! Good luck to all trying out!
This is the dance team on our final day of camp!
Here we are with some of the George Washington Dance Team members ... we love D.C., and we represented it well!
And here's our home routine! Great job, ladies!
