Three members of the Maple Mountain High School Drill Team were named to the 4A All-State Drill Team.  Madeline Froerer, daughter of Heather and Fritz Froerer, Laney Melton, daughter of Aaron and Tanya Melton, and Jamie Topham, daughter of Michelle and Greg Topham were chosen to represent Maple Mountain at the 4A All-State Drill Team Auditions. There were 54 girls who auditioned for 20 spots on the all-state team.

Madeline is a senior and a three-year member of the Ellevés Drill Team. She is the Secretary for the team this year.  Madeline was a “Top Corp” finalist at Basic Dance Training Camp this past summer.  Laney is a senior and a three-year member of the Ellevés Drill Team.  She was an Assistant Drill Mistress her junior year and is the Drill Mistress of the team this year.  Laney was also a “Top Corp” finalist at Basic Dance Training Camp this past summer. Jamie is a senior and 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.  Jamie was one of six dancers of the entire camp to be named a “Top Corp” dancer at Basic Dance Training Camp this past summer. 

The All-State auditions were held on Wednesday, November 6 at Taylorsville High School. Each 4A school sent three girls to represent their school at the auditions. The girls were taught a short dance routine 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 and perform at the State Drill Team Competition that will be held at UVU in January. Congratulations to these girls for their accomplishments!
