Indoor Twirlers

A message from Rachel Wilson:

On the first weekend of May the indoor twirlers competed at the All Chapter Championships in Wildwood, New Jersey. They started on Friday morning for prelims, the show was very good, but not the best show of the season. We were able to make it into finals and were scheduled to compete early in the morning on Saturday. Knowing they were tired, the twirlers preformed there best. I have never seen the twirlers perform so well. This show was perfect in every way and I don't believe that the girls could have done it any better. I am very proud of the girls and how far all of them have improved over the year. I can only wait to see how far we can go next season.


Parents and Guardians, we extend a warm invitation from the Music Boosters organization!

You are invited to attend our Music Boosters meetings and contribute to any part of the organization in which you would feel comfortable!

The next Music Booster meeting is Tuesday, May 13 at 7:00 pm in the High School Choir room.

The Indoor Drum Line finished their 2008 season strong with two GREAT performances in Wildwood NJ at the All Chapter Championships this weekend. The main objective for the weekend was to qualify for Finals, something the group hasn’t done in a few seasons. There were a total of 21 drum lines competing for just 11 spots in finals. At Thursday’s prelim performance the line overcame some technical difficulties in the beginning of their show to manage a tie for the final transfer spot into Saturday evening’s finals competition...their objective was met! Their final competitive performance Saturday night was something very special, and while they didn’t move up in placement...just being a part of the show Saturday was  a GREAT accomplishment!

All in all the line finished 12th out of 36 other Scholastic Novice lines that competed in various competitions throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey this season, something they should all be very proud of...I know I am.

Congratulations to the following members of the 2008 Indoor Drum Line:
Derek Boyer, Brooke Coco, Liz Dietrich, Nick Marakovitz, Katie Meck, Sami Meck, Malorie Moyer, Ben Rupert, Emily Rupert, Anton Siekmann, Elizabeth Snook, Perri Snook, Andrew Souders and Phil Weymouth.

Thanks to everyone that supported the program throughout the season!
Sincerely,
Bill Snook
