Don't leave home without them!
I've been on my toes recently with various camps and auditions and such. I thought I would share some of the things I've learned through the years about going away to camps and staying in dormitories. There are certain things I recommend you bring so your camp experience is a pleasant one... items that don't always make it onto the packing list. Trust me on these. I've been there, done that. :)

Excerpts from an e-mail
My mom asked me as I was reminding her about this camp, why it means so much to me... why going to this camp, but more specifically, why being a part of a drill team means/meant so much to me. I wrote her an e-mail in reply, and since I am being lazy this week >:) I thought I would post some excerpts from it for this week's column.

Psych yourself for great practices and performances
Dance/drill team practice can be a lot of hard work and sweat, but when you put your heart in them, they'll be a rewarding experience... not to mention that they'll yield sparkling performances.

Sites to behold
Every month or so, I'll do a search for "drill team" and scroll page after page of links looking for new ones that are about drill teams, not drill masons or rifle teams. However, I seldom turn up much. There don't seem to be many team websites, or if there are, there is not much information on them. And where there's no website, there's no article or hyperlink on this site. If you can send links to sites or make your own team sites, be sure to send me an e-mail.

Size Doesn't Matter
On a dance/drill team, the number of girls on the team is not what counts... it's how hard each girl works and how well they work together.

The First Ladies of Drill Team
The world's first drill team, the Kilgore College Rangerettes of Kilgore, Texas, is still the standard of dance/drill teams everywhere. Miss Gussie Nell Davis created the team more than 50 years ago.

The sunscreen song... for drill teams
As senior drill team members prepare to graduate, I thought it would be neat to parody the popular "Sunscreen Song" to fit drill teams. This is part one of "my" version of the "speech song." Congratulations to the Class of '99!

I never realized that dance/drill team competitions were so much work for not only the performers, but the companies who sponsor them as well.

It's unfair to stereotype groups, including drill teams. People who do so are probably just jealous.

Even though most of us may think high school and college-aged girls when we hear the words "dance/drill team," there are many elementary and middle school teams. Some of them have pages on the World Wide Web as well.

Be prepared!
There's a lesson to be learned from the Boy Scouts: we should always be prepared. And a huge part of being prepared is being organized. This is especially important when in performance situations such as contests and shows.

Drill teams always in the spotlight
I've brainstormed a few of the key elements in creating and maintaining a good repoire. Like it or not, the spotlight is on you even when you're not on the field or on stage. It's important to keep good grades, have good manners, be responsible, have high moral standards... in short... always be a lady.

Look and learn
One thing I've found that has helped me to grow as a dancer is watching other people dance. It's something I'd suggest to anyone who is serious about dance. Of course, you can't watch people so much that you don't think about your own movements, but critically observing other dancers and groups of dancers can teach you a lot.

Making up doesn't have to be hard to do
You know you're a drill team member if you own shades of lipstick that can be seen from 50 meters away. Or if you have ever willingly applied blue eye shadow and hot pink a blush. Makeup is an important part of the dance/drill team performance because without it, one important parts of the routine, your expression, isn't fully visible.
