The 2010-2011 season was a busy and exciting time for the Knight Starz dance team. Led by coach Mackenzi Schurz, captain Melanie Kulick, and officers Jordyn Archie and Andrea Blatt, the dancers practiced throughout the school year to perfect routines for competitions and other performances. The Knight Starz attended four competitions this year: the Fort Osage Classic in Independence, the Miss Kansas Drill Team Festival in Olathe, the Lee’s Summit North Dance Invitational, and the Missouri State Drill Team Competition in St. Louis. The team received awards
for their routines at each of these competitions, including second place in Hip Hop and Pom at the Fort Osage Classic. At the Miss Kansas Drill Team Festival, they earned Sweepstakes, Shining Star, Technique and Execution, Polish and Precision, and Choreography awards. Finally, at State, the team placed second in Hip Hop and fifth in Pom. The season culminated with the annual Spring Show, a presentation for the Barstow community of the routines the Knight Starz performed during the year. Overall, the Knight Starz had a successful and fulfilling season.
