Gosh, is it also a requirement that those girls be PRETTY?! :)
I have seen this squad several times.. always BIG group, very skilled, all together, total athleticism, gymnastic top form & all gorgeous.
Most of groups have several participants that can hardly walk yet alone perform complicated rhythmic dance/gymnastics routines - like I said in earlier post, I am embarrassed for them!
One group last night had 5 majorettes. I dont think they caught the baton 5 times between them all. they were NOT attractive, did not do a good routine & were a total distraction from the otherwise decent band.
See this often too with flag corps.
It seems they have 5 places to fill & take warm bodies, skilled or not. If I were in charge, I would cut the team for a year if I had to use the participants offered. There are a few areas I am a little snooty in.. this is one of them. Maybe my prior MANY years of dancing has made me more critical.
But usually in crowds you see a lot of snickers along the way when the “auxiliaries” perform.(drill or dance team, flag corp, majorettes)
First Football game tonight. Away in Medina.. about 40 miles.. will do a lot of errands on the way.
