They placed 1st for Large School Military, 2nd for Class XI pom, and 3rd in Class III kick. They received Division 1 Ratings for every song, the highest rating a team can receive at this competition.
Along with dance awards, PHS’s 2017-18 Forté group received the Academic Excellence Award. This is given to dance teams whose members’ GPA’s average to a 3.5 or higher. According to senior Erica Nossaman, a school winning places in every category is very rare.
“In practice, we all have a lot of fun, but we also work hard at the same time. Especially when we get close to State, our practices are more intense,” elaborated Nossaman.
