FIU vs Maryland

FIU vs. Maryland Home football game!
OUR FIRST FOOTBALL GAME!!!! By that I mean the first one that the Dazzlers have performed in. I had NO idea what to expect, except that we would all get really hot and sweaty, have to smile the WHOLE time (even if we missed a field goal by just a little bit) and that we would have to pay close attention to each other to stick together as a team. I myself did pretty badly towards the beginning. I was so involved in the game that I didn’t hear the music come on and it wasn’t until Winnie screamed at me to begin dancing that I realized what was going on. After that serious disaster, I tired my hardest to pay attention. However, sometimes given where I was located in the sideline formations, it was really hard to hear anything and I had to resort to lip reading. Under normal circumstances I’m good at lip reading, but since everyone was keeping their smile, even when we had to talk, it was quite hard, until it was too late, to determine which routine would come next. This slight problem resulted in a few people dancing the wrong routine and getting a little off count. Even though all of these things occurred, we still kept our composure and tried to keep the audience as spirited as possible! Even the band joined in and started cheering us on! I had a great time, and even though the heat was really bothersome, I can’t wait to do it again!
