Fremd Vikettes score solid second in state competition
The Varsity Vikettes at Fremd High School had a busy season.
The team, which is coached by Shana Dinham, began competing in the fall with the Viking Marching Band. Highlights of the team's season included performing in the Illini Marching Band Festival at the University of Illinois and securing a second-place finish in state competition.
During the winter season, the Vikettes did well by placing first and second for their Lyrical flag routine at regional competitions.
In 2014, the Vikettes qualified early in the season to compete at the state finals in Peoria. It was at the finals that they scored a 96.55, which placed them second in state for their Lyrical Flag routine. They performed to the song "River" by Emeli Sandé.
The Varsity Vikettes are: Mara Atristain, Meghan Bartos, Isabella Buccieri, Lucy Campbell, Cathy Eldredge, Bridget Horn, Katie Klonder, Alana Lev, Heather McDonough, Meghan Mileski, Margaret Mitchell, Marlena Paterson, Briana Taylor, Manthra Venkatakrishnan, Tiffany Walsh and Karis Yu.
