Dancing Daughter has hung up her dancing shoes. When she decided to try out for the drill team we made sure she understood that with school, including doing Running Start in the Fall, she would not have time to do both drill and dance. It's no surprise that she made the drill team! It's a new adventure for all of us, but we will all miss Burien Dance Theatre and watching her dance.
The high school drill team had their first ever public performance with the new members in the Burien 4th of July Parade.
That's Drill Daughter doing "the pose", pre-parade. (I know one of my bloggy friends wrote about "the pose", but I couldn't find the post!).
This was our first chance to see her do her drill thing!
It was fun to watch them perform! We are looking forward to more performances in the future!
Cute drill team! I bet it was a fun performance. One plus of outdoors performances vs the indoors ones of dance: The lighting makes for easier photo-taking!

OMG! She's so adorable! I'm so glad she made it!
I remember telling our daughter that she could try out for cheer-leading in middle school, hoping she'd give it up by high school & go with sports. Cheer-leaders are the meanest girls in high school here. She was a cheer-leader for 2 years then went into Varsity Soccer. But, they were a fun two years, believe me!
It's a whole new world now, Mom... Enjoy!

That is awesome. I don't really know what the drill team is. Is it cheerleading? Congrats to The Daughter Formerly Known As Dancing Daughter!
