WORCESTER – Burncoat High School Dance Team captain Tess Lambert and her team rushed a stage full of Burncoat High School Pep Band members in the auditorium at Worcester Technical High School. The musicians moved in formations around the stage as the dancers performed their routines. The session marks one of the final rehearsals before they fly to Orlando, Florida, for a national competition.
“I think with dance we’re getting more and more excited not just for ourselves but for band,” Lambert, a senior at Burncoat, said. “They’ve never been before so getting to experience it with them for the first time is just so exciting.”
The Burncoat High School Spirit Team will compete in the upcoming Universal Dance Association competition at the Disney World Resort in Orlando. The Spirit Team includes the Burncoat Dance Team and Burncoat Pep Band.
“We’ve gotten to see how (the band) learns and how they get to be as amazing as they are,” Lambert said. “We’ve learned from both teaching styles and I think it’s helped a lot.”
