The Shorewood Drill team took first place in both the pom and military categories at the District 1 Championships on Saturday, March 3. 

Kamiak High School hosted the event where 13 high school teams competed for qualifying scores to move on to the WIAA State Championships March 23 – 24 in Yakima. Shorewood Drill had the second and third highest scores of the day out of the 17 performances which included pom, military, kick, dance, show and hip hop.

Coach Kathy Ross and Coach/Choreographer Tiffany Bliss were thrilled with the team’s performances, especially with the debut of their military routine.

“These girls work so hard. The dedication, commitment and work ethic it takes to be a member of this year-round team is tremendous. It’s so rewarding to see the girls realize that all their hard work really does pay off,” said Coach Kathy Ross.
