"It was definitely one of the best dances I’ve been to in high school overall. The music was awesome, food was great (although they didn’t have any vegetarian options) and the venue was beautiful. I’m glad my class got to experience that this year in regards to covid and everything. It was a lot of fun! One of my fondest memories of high school would definitely be performing the halftime games with the dance team, there's nothing like dancing and being out there under the bright lights with my team was such a great experience," said senior Bre Roark.
