High tosses and hopes for competition

 by Calli Zimmerman
Five mornings a week 17 girls are throwing, spinning and dancing with flags. The 2010-2011 Montezuma colorguard team is under the direction of Mr. Brian Nolton. 
They practice one hour every morning to “Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi.  They are to perform Dec. 3 at HyVee Hall.
Nolton said, “The girls are working hard, and the routine is turning out good. We need to keep working and polish it so it’s precise.” Nolton would like to finish the routine soon so then the team can practice and polish until the competition. They also got new flags (silks) for this season. 
This year they have 17 girls on the team; 16 perform and one acts as an alternate. 
The team consists of: Senior captains, Courtney Latcham, Teona Sutfin and Shannon Sutfin, and Seniors Krista Engelbarts, Aly Breese and Katy McKee; Juniors Emily Long, Aly James, Brynna Steele, Shena Bryan and Natalie Wheeler; Sophomores Katie Benson and Carly Steele; Freshmen Katelyn Gregory, Julie Audas, Colleen Johnston and Tiffany Heishman.
