March 8, 2010 - PRLog -- EDMONDS, WA -- The award winning Edmonds-Woodway High School Drill and Pom Teams received first place awards at the district competition held Saturday March 7th, 2010. In a field of 13 teams and 20 performances the EWHS Drill and Pom teams each received first place awards. The Dance team placed as well and all teams qualified for the State Competition held at the Sundome in Yakima at the end of March.

"What an amazing group of girls”, said Coach Deb Johnson.  “The Edmonds Woodway Drill Team has shown that hard work, perseverance and enthusiasm will bring great rewards.  I am so proud of this team and all that they have accomplished so far this season.  There's no stopping them now.  On to the WIAA State Dance/Drill Championships on March 25th.  I am honored to coach this team."

Coach Johnson also extends an invitation to the Edmonds community, the school, district and all super fans to attend Friends and Family Night. Friends and Family Night is the annual dessert and performance night hosted by the team and parents. The event is free; the intention is to give back to those who support the teams during the 12 month long season.  “Friends and Family Night always has a tremendous turnout. It gives the teams one last “dress” rehearsal before State and it allows our team members and families to serve the community that loyally supports us throughout the year,” says Johnson.

Friends and Family Night will be held at the high school on Tuesday March 23, 2010 from 7PM to 9PM.

The event is free, however demand from fans has required that donations be an acceptable option starting in 2010. This year’s recipients of donations are as follows: Behind the Badge, Annie’s Kitchen and EWHS Drill Scholarship Fund. The drill team has already donated over $600 to Behind the Badge Foundation http://www.behindthebadgefoundation.org/ this year. Behind the Badge Foundation is dedicated to better serving law enforcement families and their agencies. The teams also serve the community in other capacities such as volunteering at Annie’s Community Kitchen. Annie’s Kitchen is dedicated to feeding the hungry; serving over 200 meals weekly. The EWHS Drill Scholarship Fund exists to ensure that financial support remain available to all dancers in need.

Edmonds Woodway High School is located at 7600 212th Street SW, Edmonds, WA 98026.
