Warriorettes State Performance

Warriorettes!!!!!!

Warriorettes competed for a State dance title in Pom on Saturday March 13th. Jessica and I started the day off by getting up at 4:30am to get ready to go. We had to meet the team at the High School at 6am. After a bag check and a run through on the routine, it was time to hit the road to Champaing. We arrived at the Assembly Hall about 7:30am. checked in, did the music sound check and then it was the start of an extremely LONG DAY! Performances started at 8:05am and a team performed every 5 minutes. The girls took the floor at 1:15pm and had a flawless routine. It was so awesome to see them perform at the Assembly Hall! We watched several more performances, then about 3:30pm we took all the girls to Bioggi's Italian Restaurant for some yummy food. Got back to to the Assembly Hall about 5:30pm to watch the rest of the performances and get ready for the awards ceremony. There were schools from all over Illinois. FINALLY after spending the last 14 hours in Champaing, it was time for the awards ceremony. The girls were nervous as the best Tuscola has ever finished was 6th. So we anxiously awaited to hear the results. The judges went through all the different dance categories and finally came to ours. These girls competed against the best of the best in Illinois and did a SUPER JOB! We placed 3rd and the girls were so excited with that. You would have thought they were the state champions..HA HA! 2nd Place went to Fieldcrest and first went to a Catholic school and they were both up by Chicago so I think these girls did AWESOME!!! CONGRATULATIONS WARRIORETTES ON A FANTASTIC SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are some pics from today. One is a picture of all the teams that performed at the Assembly hass. there were 91 teams.
