The Brownwood High School Lionettes dance and drill team attended camp at Southern Methodist University in June and were chosen as an All-American Team. This title allows the Lionettes several performance opportunities including the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade two different years (2013 and 2015) and one opportunity to perform in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl (2014).

In addition to performance opportunities, some of the other honors the Lionettes earned at camp:

All-American Team of the Day on the second day of camp

Jr. All American Kick Company – Ivy Townsend

Sr. All American Kick Company – Katelynn Stile

Marching Drill Down Award – Cora McNeese

Outstanding Dancer/Performer – Alicia Vallecillo

All American Honorable Mention dancers – Maddie Soto and Katelynn Stile

All American Dancers – Alicia Vallecillo & Cora McNeese

On the last day of the camp, the Lionettes were given a Diamond Sweepstakes award, Home Routine Award, and named All-American Team of the Week.

“What an honor these past few years have been,” said Lionettes Director Stacee Hetzell who explained that due to the expense of the bigger trips, this year the Lionettes have chosen a less expensive opportunity.

The Lionettes will participate in the pre-game performance of the San Antonio Spurs game on October 29th. The cost is approximately $120 per dancer and this includes their costume, ticket into game, and meal voucher. Fundraising is currently underway to help members cover the cost of this one day trip.
