BY DALE CUMMINGS "We have an exceptional group of ladies," a happy Waukeenyan adviser Terri Lauterbach said after tryouts for the 1986-8- 7 Waukeenyan squad were completed. n A panel chose 16 members Monday to comprise the 1986-8- 7 drill team. All positions on the team were put up for competition, so returning members were required to go through the same tryout as prospective members. Six members of last year's squad were chosen to return. Before Monday's final competition, adviser Lauterbach told the girls what to expect. She emphasized that smile and sparkle were key ingredients the judges were looking for, along with appearance and ability to execute three routines. "We're looking at their ability to dance, practice, and learn, as well as their ability to create and choreograph a routine of their own," said Lauterbach. Squad members put in a minimum of 10 hours a week practicing the different routines they will be performing. The practice time includes five-perso- one-minu- te working at home, as well as night practices. The women chosen for this year's team include three year veteran Beth Petersen (the squad's new president) and Belinda Peterson (vice president). Lori Lowder, Michelle Webster and Kristen Robertson will be this year's drill mistresses who will break down drill routines and instruct the other girls. Other team members include Trish Gordon, Dana Potts, Stephanie Small, Jana Slack, Betsy Graff, Wendi Webster, Karlyn Wangsgard, Staci Roberts, Audra Kasparian, Jill Grimshaw, and Patrice Carpenter. Lauterbach said she was "personally thrilled by the level of talent and years of drill team experience exemplified by the squad." The drill team's first performance is slated for Oct. 25 in conjunction with the homecoming parade and game. The Waukeenyans can be seen at all SUSC home football and basketball games. They will perform on the road at Fullerton, Cal., during halftime of the SUSCFullerton St. basketball game. A spring performance at the student-facult- y dance concert is also on their schedule. |
