As some of you may have heard, the cheerleaders are once again state bound. This is the second year the cheerleaders have competed and also the second year in a row that the cheerleaders have made it to the state finals. Many people don't know what competitive cheerleading really is. The routine cannot be over 3 mins and 30 seconds total and usually consists of dancing and cheering. The dance portion of the routine cannot be over 1 min and 30 seconds. During the dance squads preform partner stunts, tumbling, and dance moves. The cheers are similar to cheers preformed at basketball games but more intense and usually longer. The more difficult the routine usually the better the score. Points can be deducted from squads if the performance is sloppy or if tricks are missed. Friday, February 5th the cheerleaders will compete in the first round of the state competition in Bloomington-Normal. And if the scores received are good enough, proceed to the second day of the state finals competition on Saturday, February 6th. So come out and support to cheerleaders, we appreciate it!
