A huge part of our school and our community is our sports. They are extra curricular events we participate in as students, and it is important to know about what sports we have and what they are doing at our school. One sport that I think puts in a lot of effort is our school’s drill and dance team. They spend hours every day all year practicing for the performances and for their competitions that help represent Logan High School in a positive way. I interviewed Kaylee Nazer, a junior at Logan High School, and a senior at Logan High School, Jayda Abel. I asked them both the motto for the year and they both said it is “Do it for love.” Kaylee said they keep this motto up and show their moto by “dancing because we love to.” The Hi-Lo’s had their first competition two weeks ago, and they placed second in hip hop, fourth in their military dance, second in jazz, and seventh in kick. They have a team of thirteen girls consisting of one senior, one junior, six sophomores, and five freshmen. They practice three hours everyday, which adds up to fifteen hours a week. I asked both how they liked their drill team. Jayda said, “It is much better for me this year than any other year in the past, personally.” Kaylee said, “I really enjoy having something to work hard towards and do everyday.” So generally, they both like it and are having a good, fun experience. They both mentioned the close bond the team has with it being a smaller team than in years past and also with their many hours they spend with each other practicing, at school, and at competitions. The coaches are Maryn Lindley, and Katelyn Smith. Kaylee wrote “They take role of coaching by helping us get the tricks we need, critiquing us, and being there for us when we need them. By talking to some members of the team, they have some good hopes for the year, are really enjoying the smaller, closer team, and expect to do well this year. They are just entering their competition season, so make sure to support!
