Members of the Brownwood High School Lionettes Drill Team are scheduled to perform in the 2013 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. After holding several fundraisers, the Lionettes have raised the money they need, and are scheduled to leave Friday, November 22nd, around 1:30 p.m. for their trip to New York City.
The BHS Lionettes attended a camp at SMU in June under the direction of American Dance Drill Team. Five Lionettes were chosen as “All American Honorable Mention Dancers” and the entire team earned the title of “All American Team.”
“This was such an awesome honor considering the fact that camp was at full capacity,” said Lionettes sponsor, Stacee Hetzel. “There were approximately 400 dancers at this camp.”
With the “All American Team” title, the BHS Lionettes were invited to participate in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thursday, November 28th. The team will perform an “Alice in Wonderland” themed routine during the nationally televised event. The parade will be aired on NBC starting at 8:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning.
