By: Morgan Rose There are big changes coming for the 2020-2021 Bear River High School drill team. One major thing that will affect the drill season is the delay of try-outs due to Covid-19. Another big change coming their way is the new coaching staff. The new head coach is Stevie Aoki, and the new assistant coach is Starlee Buttars; both have many years experience with dancing and can not wait to coach an amazing team this year.
An upcoming senior, Brinley Burrup, has a big year ahead of her and looks forward to the new team. One major thing that Burrup is looking forward to is going to camp to learn the new dances and getting to know the new girls. As it will be her senior year, and therefore her last, Burrup also looks forward to making this year one to remember. Burrup shared some advice that has helped her and wants to offer to anyone trying out for drill: “Make the best of the years on drill, during the hard practices don’t give up, make new friends.” If there could be one thing this year on drill that Burrup has hopes of doing, it would be to place in the drill down competition. The drill down is a command competition performed by the dancers at the end of the main competition. All the dancers who wish to compete, from all the schools, line up one-by-one and individually get out as they fail to complete the correct command. The last four dancers standing at the end of the drill down then get to place in the drill down for that competition. Burrup said, “It will take some practice, but it will be worth it to hopefully achieve something so incredible my senior year.” Burrup can’t wait for everything including tryouts, practices, and spending time with the team. Burrup said of their sport performances, “Football being my favorite of course, but I love them all.” When the girls aren’t practicing their dances, they like to have pool parties and sleepovers throughout the year to stay close to each other and have some fun. All in all, the 2020-2021 drill team will have a lot to look forward to. Burrup has big, exciting things coming her way for her senior year on drill, along with exciting hopes she has for the team. Burrup “hopes we can place higher this season than we did last season and make it to state.” She knows it will take hard work and dedication from everyone, but she can’t wait to be a part of a motivated team.
