Originally
founded as the Starletts Drill Team, this student-run organization
transformed itself into the Bison Girls Dance Team in 1998. Poms
and kick lines were traded for a new look and hip hop style dancing.
The team performs at every home Bison basketball game, and for special
events on campus.
The
2007-2008 Bison Girls Dance Team consists of 20 members. The total
number of team members each season remains between 14 and 20. Team
officers include a president who handles general business, two co-captains
who choreograph dances and run practices, and a treasurer who handles
team finances. Decision-making, however, is a team process and all
members are encouraged to help with choreography.
During
basketball season, the team practices 3-4 nights per week. While
there are no fees charged to individual team members, each Bison
Girl is asked to purchase her own shoes. Occasionally,
the members will also purchase team apparel, hair ribbons or other small accessories.
For
more information, please contact our president, Ashley Noerr or our faculty/staff advisor, Tracy
Shaynak. Information is also available in the spring
at the Admissions Open House, and at Activities Unlimited each fall. |
