The Upbeats Dance Team

2005    4A Small       2nd Place State       Coach: Debbie Brown

 
We had another great showing at competition this weekend. 
We went to the Emerald Valley Dance Competition at Churchill on  Saturday and had a great time.
 
We performed our state routine twice and earned high marks both rounds.  We not only won in our division (4A small) but we earned the highest score, 84.6, of all 12 teams competing.  Second in our division was Sheldon and third place was South Eugene.  Thurston won 4A large division followed by South Albany and Brookings Harbor won in the 3A category.
 
We had a long practice on Friday night to implement some changes to the routine.  This is not our typical pre-competition practice but the team was committed to doing the best we could on Saturday and that required a bit more last minute work than normal. 
 
The Choreographers, Breann Agnew, Courtney Schroeder, Danielle Ustica and I made the final changes to the dance this morning and the complete routine will be performed this Wed at Southwestern Men's and Women's games and at Senior Night at MHS on Friday.  We are excited to show everyone the complete routine.
 
We also made a good showing in drill down with Tye Vossler, Courtney Schroeder and Amy Woods making the final 10 for advanced drill down and freshman Amanda Hartley making the final 10 for novice drill down.
 
Our practices have been great.  The team is beginning to focus and pull together, they are reaching the point a coach hopes for where they begin to connect on the floor and dance as a team instead of individuals doing the same piece of choreography.  This is our ultimate goal as this is what it will take to place at state.  
 
I am thrilled, the team is excited and we are looking forward to our last few weeks of practice before state.
