The dance team got together from July 28 to Aug 1. This was the first time that the entire team got together after tryouts happened earlier in the year.

The camp was full of new dances for the team to learn. The first few days the team learned the new sideline dances that go with the band songs. Then they learned the halftime show for the first football game.

“The same dance will also be performed at K-State Band Day, Sept 27 at halftime of the KSU game to theBeatles’ ‘Day Tripper’,” senior Krystyn Winiecki said.

For an hour each day they were also outside with the band learning their commands and how to march. “[Dance Camp] was fun, but I hated waking up early and learning to march was a struggle,” freshman Hannah Kordyak said. On the last day the band, colorguard, twirlers, and dance team got together at Bishop Stadium for a drill down where they practiced the commands they learned.

“We have a lot of girls on the team and this is the first year since I joined the team my freshman year that we actually bonded,” junior Hannah Craig said. “Most of the girls spent extra time during the summer going to practices too, so the week long camp went smoothly and everyone knew what they were doing.”

At the camp the team did more bonding activities while at the camp.

“We made bows to go with some of the Tribe themes for football games, pink-bows for pink out, etc,” Winiecki said.

Overall, the dance team enjoyed the camp.

“I think our dance team this year has a lot of potential and I’m really excited to see what all we are capable of,” Winiecki said.
