The Appomattox County High School cheerleaders attended a UCA (Universal Cheerleaders’ Association) cheer camp in Appomattox last week. During this event, each girl had the chance to try out to become a UCA All-Star Cheerleader. At the end, ten out of twenty-six ACHS cheerleaders were selected as All-Stars.
These girls are invited to go to London, England to participate in a New Year’s Day Parade. The girls will be learning new cheers and dances to perform in the parade. The cheerleaders are scheduled to leave on December 26, 2008 and return on January 2, 2009. But, there’s one caveat to this trip – each cheerleader and coach must raise about $3,300 to participate in this prestigious event.
The trip to London will be filled with lots of practices and some sightseeing, including Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. Competing in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity are cheerleaders Tyler Reeves, Bre Slagle, Afton Jamerson, Sarah Baines, Ariel Wade, Ashley Christian, Hayley Nimmo, Ebony King, Donja Booker and Becca Bryant.
