Shorewood High School Drill Team participated in the Decatur Dance and Drill Competition on Saturday, February 5. The team took first place in the military category and received an additional trophy for receiving the highest score overall for the day. There were 38 performances consisting of military, pom, dance, hip hop, kick and show.

Coaches Kathy Ross and Tiffany Bliss were thrilled with the team’s performance.
“The girls have been working very hard since their last competition two weeks ago, and their dedication to their team really paid off. The team increased their score significantly from their last competition at Hazen High School. Some of the biggest challenges are maintaining the high level of energy and showmanship required throughout the entire routine and doing every move ‘Shorewood Sharp.’ The girls achieved both, and we are so proud of them!”

Team members and their families transformed the Shorewood gymnasium into a winter wonderland, complete with twinkling lights and giant snowflakes. Coaches, team members and fans from the 22 schools who participated in the competition all raved about the beautiful decorations, delicious food, exciting gift baskets, lovely flowers and warm and friendly hospitality.
“I am so grateful for all the hard work the families put into helping make the day a success. I am so proud of the girls in how hard they worked and what great hostesses they were. I was overwhelmed by the record breaking attendance,” Coach Kathy Ross said.

It takes many hours of preparation to make this event the highly successful fundraiser that it is every year. Coach Ross begins working on the planning and coordinating of the competition three months in advance. Proceeds help offset the cost of participating in the annual state competition, as well as the Victoria Day Parade.



Many of you have seen the team perform at home football and basketball games and a variety of school events and assemblies. This hardworking, conscientious and competitive team practices year round to prepare for their performances and competitions. The team took second place in the military category at last year’s WIAA State Competition. They are admired by other teams, not only for their quality performances, but for their spirit and sportsmanship as well.

As the hosting team, Shorewood Drill chose not to compete in its own competition. Instead, they put on a stunning exhibition performance for the crowd to start off the event. Led by co-captains Christa Lee, Clara Lam and Mel Wonser, they performed a military routine.

The winners from the 33 routines that competed from the 22 schools represented were:
  • Military: 1st – Decatur, 2nd – Newport, 3rd – Hazen, 4th – Lake Washington
  • Pom: 1st – Eastlake, 2nd – Lake Washington, 3rd – Federal Way
  • Hip Hop: 1st – Shorecrest, 2nd – Heritage, 3rd – Emerald Ridge
  • Dance: 1st – Edmonds Woodway
