My daughter Melissa and her MSU Pompon Team won their seventh straight Collegiate High Kick Championship on Sunday, with a fabulous performance displaying a french flair. High Kick is a precision routine that incorporates pompon kickline with inventive coreography and costumes. The team portrayed sassy, french maids and the music, costumes and routine all combined to bring a little piece of Paris to the competition.
Their feather dusters, bright green for MSU, were an unexpected touch and the crowd was amazed when the girls suddenly opened them for the first time. This team is known for their creativity year after year. I don't know how their coach keeps coming up with a new idea to top the one before, but she continues to do it.
Melissa is a junior this year and it has been a wonderful experience for her to be a part of this team and the consistent excellence they strive for. Our family has loved watching them and being a part of the MSU Pompon family. Collegiate sports are intense, but the rewards are many and seeing Melissa's hard work and hours of practice pay off is a proud moment for our family.
Happy Wednesday!
