Pom Squad
The Pom squad attended the University of Alabama UCA/UDA College camp in July along with the Varsity and JV squads and mascots. The dancers also worked very hard on the new material taught during camp and were able to receive all superior ribbons. In 2007, the MSU Pom squad hopes to attend UDA College Nationals in Orlando, FL.
The Pom squad is an extremely talented group of dancers who choreograph all of their own material. They do performances for pep rallies along with the cheerleaders as well as on their own during half-time at basketball games.
The Pom squad consists of 12-16 girls. They receive a $250 per semester scholarship as well as camp clothes, camp fees and uniforms. Pom squad members are responsible for performing during home football games and all home men's and women's basketball games as well as fundraising events.
