Emma Boyd, Emma Stoltzenburg, Bayleigh Gillum, Madeline Cook and Mia Hullinger will compete for a chance to participate in the IHSA State competition next weekend in
Bloomington.

The team is already very decorated this
season, under the direction of Coach
Brande Montgomery, who shares a passion for dancing with her team. According to Montgomery, the girls dance every weekend of the year until the middle of February.

They compete in both the IHSA (Illinois High School Association) and the IDTA (Illinois Drill Team Association).

So far this season the team has earned six first place trophies, two second place trophies and three state qualifications.

In addition to IHSA State, the IDTA also hosts state competition.

IDTA State will be held in Springfield
February 14 and 15 and the ladies have
already qualified two dances for that.

On Thursday night at Roy S. Anderson
Gymnasium the team performed Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” during halftime, a song that came out in 1977. Montgomery chose the song and the girls carried it off perfectly. They will dance to that song today at Sectionals.

Good luck, Railettes!
