The Yosemite High cheerleading squad has proven to be one of the best squads around. In fact, they were so good at U.S.A. Cheerleading Camp that they have been selected to perform at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

Besides their technical and physical skills, the cheerleaders were also scored on their ability to work together as a team and their attitude. They were rated superior in all categories, opening the door for them to perform during the half-time show at one of the biggest football games of the year.

Now comes the more difficult part. The team has to raise $2,000 per participant to finance the trip. They need at least $150 apiece by September 5 to assure their spot.

Already there are fund-raisers in place. Hondo’s will be having a dinner to raise money and KAAT Radio is working to help the team achieve their goal. There will also be an account set up at Washington Mutual Bank for those who want make a donation to the team. In all, the team needs to raise about $20,000 for all the members and coach to have the privilege of performing at the Pro Bowl.

This will be a most memorable experience for the team and one they have worked very hard to achieve. Last year the YHS Pep Squad qualified and went to Florida.
