First practice a success

There may have only been four of us at practice but we accomplished a lot. Practice began a bit unorganized but last year's routine was quickly remembered and the majority of the time was spent on the creation of the brand-new stage routine.

The stage routine is going to be a fun one. We are able to incorporate book cart moves on stage that just don't work while walking a parade route. And oh! The romantic twirl move (courtesy of The Library Book Cart Precision Drill Team Manual is so much fun to do they may never get us off of the stage.

The stage routine consists of criss-cross, home position, rotating circles, the spoke, forward/backward transition move, romantic twirl, kick twirl, pinwheel, ending at home position. The routine finishes with the library chant and an invite for audience participation. Don't know what I'm talking about? Better come to practice! Okay, I'm just kidding. I know the practice dates don't fit into all of your schedules. No worries, it'll come together just fine.

What we need now is music for the stage routine - any ideas?

The next practice is set for Sat., May 12 at 10 a.m. We'll spend most of our time working on the stage routine as there are a couple of moves that will require precision on our part.

Hope to see you there!
