Waking up early in the morning to practice would have some people moaning and groaning, but for the girls involved in the GCCC cheer and dance camp they were on time and ready to get started.
The cheer and dance teams conducted a camp for girls between the ages of 4-13 Oct. 14. The girls learned cheer and dance routines and performed during halftime of the football game against Air Force Prep. Barb Schultz, cheer and dance coach, said the main reason the squads conducted the camp is to raise money for uniform and travel expenses.
Girls who signed up for the dance portion of the camp were broken up into three groups. The 4-6 year olds did a dance to "Ghostbusters," The middle-aged girls danced to "Monster Mash," and the oldest group performed to "Thriller."
At the cheerleading gym the girls were split up into two groups. They learned cheers such as, "Fire up GC, Fire up," and observed the different pyramids and stunts the cheer and yelleaders build when they perform. The young cheerleaders then got to try out stunts with the GCCC cheer and yelleaders. They practiced their cheers until they had them down so they could perform them at the game.
Dance team captain Tamber Weber, Cimarron, Kan., says the event went more smoother than last year because more people were getting into the routines.
"We did a lot better than last year because we had a lot more devoted people," Weber said.
