Drill Team Does Well at Region with a First in Military and an Individual First for Hannah Murri

By Megan Ballamis

The Drill Team has been practicing very hard and have been getting together every morning at 6am to practice. They practiced their routes many times and have worked really hard. All of their hard work paid off. Regions were held at PHS on January 24. They went up against Delta, Carbon, Juab, Spanish Fork, and North Sanpete. The songs they performed to was Military, Bad girls do it well, and a remix of Early Bird by Shirley Temple, Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows by Lesley Gove, and Teddy Bear by Elvis Presley.

The girls place 1st in military, 2nd on dance, 3rd in kick and 2nd overall. In the drill down Hannah Murri placed 1st, Becca Brown placed 2nd and Jessica Knapp placed 3rd.

“I felt like we did really good and I felt accomplished,” said 3rd place drill down winner Jessica Knapp.

Payson Drill did phenomenal at region. Way to go. We are proud and wish you luck at state on February 2nd.
