The junior varsity, coached by Susan Fricke, will be performing a pom routine to "Hit the Lights" and a lyrical routine to "Unchained Melody."

Varsity coach Angela Fuqua is excited to see the performances of the other schools attending, especially since some of the top teams in the state will be competing.
