Miranda shakes her head with a grin “Not this year This year we are the show”

Holy shit

The dance teaeared more toward hip-hop in style, which is hen they recruited ht that’s not only full of students, but parents and faculty? Kind of crazy being our dances are on the risqué side, a lot of booty popping is involved

“There’s like forty of them and only seventeen of us,” another says

“Only the seniors will be escorted, but we’ll still be a little short which is why I’ve asked the JV dance tea They won’t be perfor our full routine with us,” she announces “I’ on costu we’ll incorporate the team to help make it fresh in some way”

“How so?” I ask

“Well, we can add eye black for fun, and knee-high socks We can ask Coach Parks if we can borrow the boys’ away jerseys since this is a hoame or another option is lettermen jackets The entire team arded one free last year when they won state, so every player should have one that can be worn”

“It ht be hard to dance in”

Thompson and Trent walk in first, Alex and a few others behind them, followed by more of their teammates
