Three members of the Maple Mountain High School Drill Team were named to the 4A All-State Drill Team.  Kaitlynn Blood, daughter of Kim and Jason Blood; Aubrey Finch, daughter of Jerri Ann and Ryan Finch; and Makayla Wilson, daughter of Nancy and Darrin Wilson were chosen to represent Maple Mountain at the 4A All-State Drill Team Auditions. There were sixty girls who auditioned for twenty spots on the all-state team. 

Kaitlynn is a three-year member of the Ellevés Drill Team.  She was an Assistant Drill Mistress her junior year and is the Drill Mistress this year. Kaitlynn was a “Top Corp” finalist at Basic Dance Training Camp this past summer. Kaitlynn loves to dance, scrapbook, shop, and be with her friends. 

Aubrey is a three-year member of the Ellevés Drill Team. She is the Secretary of the team this year. Aubrey was one of the top three medalists in the drill down at Basic Dance Training camp this past summer. Aubrey enjoys eating, sleeping, dancing and hanging out with friends.

Makayla is also a three-year member of the Ellevés Drill Team. She was an Assistant Drill Mistress her junior year and is the President of the team this year. Makayla was named as one of the five “Top Corp” dancers at Basic Dance Training Camp this past summer. Makayla enjoys dancing, watching movies, bowling, sleeping, painting nails, and eating.

The auditions were held on Tuesday, November 1 at Taylorsville High School. Each 4A school sent three girls to represent their school at the auditions. The girls were taught a short dance combination and then auditioned it in front of a panel of three judges who decided which girls made the team. 

The 4A All-State Team will be recognized at the State Drill Team Competition that will be held at UVU in February. Congratulations to these girls for their accomplishments!
