GBS TITAN POMS at UDA National Competition in Florida
The GBS Varsity and JV Poms recently returned home from Elite UDA camp at ISU. The girls endured the 100-degree weather and returned home with multiple awards. The Varsity team received a Superior trophy for their competition dance, multiple individual blue ribbon awards, the spirit stick and the honor of receiving the Most Improved Team at camp. The team qualified for UDA National Competition in Florida in February 2013. Last year’s team received 15th place in the Kick category. This year’s team will compete in Jazz and Poms divisions. The Poms Varsity team has 22 dancers, while the JV has 21 dancers. JV also attended and competed for the first time at UDA camp this year. The JV team also achieved blue ribbon status. Congratulations to Shayne Turpin and Ellie Duerst for All American Honors! The Titan Poms will compete as an IHSA Varsity sport this year. The team will be competing in multiple competitions this year with a State series in January. This will be a new experience for all local teams. Coach Smith is excited for the upcoming year.
