Poms Competition

Beth took part in a local poms competition held in West County, which was the local heat to determine which teams progressed to the regional competition held in Kansas City.

Even though we got there early, there was already a long queue for registration that extended out from the school where the event was being held. Things had been gradually getting back to normal after the ice storm, but there was still a good 3-4 inches of snow/ice on the ground & the temperatures were still cold, so most of the cheerleaders weren’t happy about waiting out in the cold.

Sherri was helping out with the event & her children Emily & Jordan were both also in the competition, with Emily being in the same team as Beth. Sherri’s Mum, Barb, & Husband, Steve, kindly saved us front row seats so we got a really good view of the performances by the teams. Each team did a cheer, which was their own unique chant (without music), & then they did a dance routine to music, which also included some ‘stunts’. Beth did really well & her team came in third place.
