More than 225 girls descended on Robinson High School this fall for the high school's annual Colorguard Clinic.

With the theme Neon Dance Party, girls ages 4 and older flooded the RHS gym, picked up their T-shirt and bow packets, and received their equipment for the morning clinic and evening performance to the song "Shake It Off."

Once everyone was situated and seated in the bleachers, the RHS Colorguard assembled on the gym floor and demonstrated the full routine the girls would be learning for the day.

Following rousing applause, participants broke into their respective age groups to learn the moves.

There were nervous smiles, giggles, and lots and lots of twirling flags as the girls
                                                                                                                    moved from station to station, learning the routine section by section from the patient          and energetic members of the color guard.

​As a finale to the morning clinic, the participants were able to put all the pieces of the routine together on the RHS football field during a final run-through.

Bright colors filled the sky, hips shook, hand movements perfected, and nerves addressed in anticipation of the evening performance.

Once night fell, the girls filled the field in their neon shirts, hair bows, and coordinating flags. 

As the music started, smiles spread across the faces of the participating girls as they performed the routine in front of the hometown crowd. In the audience, there were broad smiles as well, as parents, grandparents, friends and siblings pointed out their favorite girl.

It was a spectacular way to spend an autumn evening!
