CYDNIE SPENCER 

2016 4A Academic All Region

"Starting drill as a senior, I felt like a Freshmen again. It was an experience I'm glad I got to have. It helped me grow as a dancer and be able to go outside of my comfort zone. No one gives the Waspettes enough credit! I thought it would be easy because they made it look so easy. The amount of effort it takes to make the dances look effortless is amazing! I don't regret trying out or only doing it for one year, I'm just glad I got to have the experience!"

Waspette Spectacular

Two weeks ago we held the Waspette Spectacular and Mini Waspettes clinic. It is a huge fundraiser for the team and a fun way to bring the community together and learn more about drill team. The Waspettes held three two hour class sessions where they trained girls (ages 3-13) on proper dance technique and taught a routine. We had a tremendous turn out this year with over 200 girls (60 of whom were 3 & 4 years old!)

That Friday night, the Mini Waspettes were able to perform their routines at the Waspette Spectacular. The Waspette Spectacular showcased all the Waspette routines from the year. The drill team performed their Hip Hop, Camp, Military, Dance, and Character routines. There were also guest performances by local dance studios in town. The Waspette Spectacular is a fun way for the girls to end the season and show off all their hard work from over the year. We had a fabulous season and want to thank everyone for their support!
