St. Charles North drill team headed to Liberty Bowl in Memphis

The St. Charles North High School drill team will be headed to Memphis to perform during half time at the Liberty Bowl on the December 31st game between Rice and Mississippi State.

The 23 varsity and junior varsity dancers are 1 of 9 selected teams from around the country who will be performing at the Liberty Bowl.

Coach Nancy Prentiss received the invite last spring. The team is looking forward to and excited for the opportunity.

The girls will have a busy, but exciting trip planned; which include attending a rodeo, a Chicago Bulls-Memphis Grizzlies game, 2 full days of practice with famed professional choreographer, Dee Caspary, who will be working with the girls on technique and the routine.

The team will also ride in the Liberty Bowl parade on Beale Street before their big performance in front of thousands in the stands. This will be the largest crowd the girls have danced for to date.

The girls practice 6 days a week and come from a long history of winning a state championship in at least one category for well over a decade now. The girls work very hard at their sport, whether in practice or at competitions.

They serve throughout their community with Kick-A-Thon, the Living Well Resource Center, and Rollins girls club in Aurora, along with their usual commitment to dancing at the North football and basketball games.
