of 17 members.
The 2007-2008 squad attended
a UDA Camp on June 6 - 9, 2007 at Fontbonne College in St. Louis. Below are
the teams awards.
Practice:
The squad practices prior to
going to camp. During the school year practice is held early in the evening.
Once school is out for the summer, practice is held early in the morning.
The schedule will be provided shortly after the squad has been determined.
The squad does NOT practice after camp until early August, so the team has
the remainder of June and July OFF.
Once school starts, the team
practices each day after school. The season runs from August until mid-March.
Practice time is usually from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m.
During the months of December,
January, February, and March the team competes at IDTA Contests. (Illinois
Dance Team Association) Those dates are yet to be determined for the 2008-2009
year and will be posted as they become available to us. Althoff Catholic hosts
their own IDTA Contest in January.
