Aqua Angels swim
their way to success
by Clarky Lucas
The Aqua Angels fell performance “A Blast from the Past” was a big splash on
Wednesday, November 15.
The synchronized swimming program began at 6 p.m. and included five
performances that were featured in past shows.
“The routines the Aqua Angels swam for the fell performance were physically
and technically very challenging. 'The swimmers started practicing the first week
of school to learn the figures and choreography for each routine,” said Coach
Carol Brown.
Sherrie Anders and Perri Sutton’s performance “Call it Country” incorporated
music like Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee” and Garth Brooks’ “Shameless.”
In “Disney," Nina Crawford, JoAnna Grubbs, Crystal McLamb and Cathy
Tunstall brought favorite Disney tunes to life like “Les Poissons” from ne Little
Mermaid.
Beth Breitbeil, Amy Fisher and Jennifer Habeeb paid tribute to great frogs like
Kermit and Jeremiah in their performance “Green.”
In the routine “Far and Away,” Marie Carlson and Jennifer Collins swam to
theme songs from the movie.
All of the swimmers participated in “Action Adventure” that featured music
from the mov'its Jurassic Park and Terminator. It was a thrilling performance
that included some of the toughest figures and choreography the Aqua Angel
perform.
Despite problems during praaice Sunday night before the program caused by
bubbles in the water and glitches in the sound system, the show was spotless.
“pnce we go focused as a team, our hard work and dedication paid off. We
had a great performance, and everyone enjoyed themselves, “ said Sutton.
The Aqua Angel spring performance “A Walk Through Life ” will be on March
21 and 22.
“Now that we’ve got this performance behind us, we are looking forward to
the next semester with our new team members,” said Grubbs
