TOPS All-Stars “Stock the Pantry” Community Service Project

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This past Monday, February 20, the TOPS All-Stars “stocked the pantry” at Epiphany Lutheran Church in Centerville.  The girls started the day by stocking the pantry with items that were donated by the families from TOPS All-Stars.  They then were split into groups and created packages for needy families in our area.

I am very proud of the ladies that attended the event and am looking for the next time that girls are able to assist Epiphany Lutheran Church.

With Cheers,
KC

Blue and Orange Represent at the Greater Mid West Cheer Expo!

The TOPS All-Stars had another wonderful show at the Hobart Arena in Troy, Ohio.  Lila Ellefson placed second in the Mini Best Tumbler Elite category.  Team Achieve (Mini Level One) placed second and one tenth of a point away from first and grand champion.  Team Believe (Youth Level Two) and Team Dream (Senior Level 3) both placed second.  Due to a mechanical malfunction during their scheduled performance time team Encore (Senior Level 4) finished their routine without music but with eight counts from their coaches and the entire crowd.  Once the issue was resolved the team was able to give a true Encore performance.  Performing for the second time and only minutes after the first performance the team gave a perfect show to the proud parents, coaches and the crowd that was eager to watch.

The TOPS All-Stars will perform again in March at a Cheerlebrity event in Cincinnati.

With Cheers,

K.C. Rose
