Megan's Last Competitions

For the past two weekends we have been busy traveling to Meg's last competitions as a senior Highstepper.  They first competed in the Showmakers State Drill team Championship two weeks ago in San Marcus and again last weekend in Cypress at the Champions Regional Competition.  In both competitions the Highstepper officers and team were named Grand Champions.  Meg had a total of seven dances to learn and perfect.  Watching her perform each beautifully these past weeks has made us even more proud of her accomplishments over the past four years.  We're are also a bit sad about the whole thing coming to an end so soon.  We have one more competition this weekend and the Highstepper Showoff the following Tuesday.  So basically two more chances to enjoy watching her perform for the last times as a Highstepper.  Wow, how time does fly... 

Here are the team dances performed at San Marcus:

TWHS Football Season Comes To An End

The Woodlands lost Saturday night to Stony Point from Round Rock, Texas. It was a very disappointing loss since many had predicted that this might be the year they would go all the way to the state championship. However, on a cold, damp November night we witnessed the end of fabulous season and watched our daughter's last performance on a high school football field. My husband and I have so enjoyed the "Friday night lights" these past four years so we were both sad to see it come to an end. Even though she is a senior we will forever support The Woodlands High School football team, band, cheerleaders and of course the Highsteppers and suspect we'll find ourselves in the stands for years to come. Below are some of the awesome halftime performances we enjoyed this year.


Highstepper Hat Dance

                       

Our daughter is in the front, sixth from the right hand side. There is a closeup of the group of three she's in at the beginning. She's standing on the 40 yard line.

Highstepper Tambourine Dance

                                                        

Earlier in the football season they preformed a tambourine routine. Once the dance our daughter is in the front, third from the right end, on the 40 yard line.


Highstepper Kick Dance

                                                         

One dance we did not get to see on the field was the kick dance due to us being out of town for my birthday. However, one of the Highstepper parents went to the pep rally and taped the seniors doing the kick routine for the main campus and ninth grade campus. This is the other dance she helped choreographed. She is in the front, second from the right.


My favorite dance remains to be the band dance, also choreographed by our daughter...she's so talented! Can't wait till competition season to see them dance again!

Go Higlanders!

Last Thursday, The Woodlands won their final game going undefeated for the season. USA Today ranks them 5th in Texas and 23rd in the nation. Way to go boys! As for the Highsteppers, they gave an amazing halftime performance (following a great band production). They did a prop dance using a band. What makes it more special to us is the fact that our daughter choreographed this dance! You can watch it below. She is in the front, fourth from the right. You'll need to pause my music on my sidebar first so you can hear the band playing while the girls perform. Enjoy!
