– these name encompass, for various reasons, the 5 girls that make this awesome group.

Today at practice it was in the air – the stank of the inability to practice with full effort. The taxing hours after a week of finals, the flu that is plaguing public high schools, and practically 20 hours a week of dance had all my students run down to the ground. So, what did their magnanimous (cough cough) coach decide? Recharge day! Quality stretching, rest, and rejuvenation for the upcoming competition is exactly what they needed…

…of course no time wasted; they ARE having an EXTRA 8:00am rehearsal this weekend. Full hair, full make up, full breakfast!
