Catoctin-Ettes, Inc. Awards Ceremony
The Catoctin-Ettes, Inc. Twirling Corps recently named its 2016 Queen during
the annual awards ceremony held by the organization. Miss Shyanne George,
daughter of Donna Walter and Teddy George, was elected by members of the
organization to represent the group in the new year. Her duties will include
acceptance of the organization’s awards at various events, and a featured spot
in the Emmitsburg Community day parade with the marching group. She was
presented with the crown and royalty sash from the outgoing queen, Abigail
Adams.
The Catoctin-Ettes also named Kiara George to the first runner-up title.
Members of the royal court were Rachel Bechler and Erika Oland.
In addition to the crowning ceremony, the group celebrated the end of its
performing and competing year with its annual holiday stage show, where groups
and individuals performed new dance-twirl style routines for the audience.
In recognition of the group’s Advanced Marching Corps Championship
title, each member of the twirling squads, the competing color guard, and the
percussion line received a championship hooded sweatshirt and representative
trophy.
Trophies were also presented to members achieving perfect attendance at all
events, including practices. As a long-standing tradition within the organization,
special recognition pins were presented to those who have maintained accumulated
perfect attendance for performances throughout the years. Those receiving these
prestigious awards were: Kelly Reed—28 years; Angela Ridenour—18 years;
Paula Sharrer—14 years; Catilyn Purdum—12 years; Rachel Bechler—8 years;
and Abby Adams—7 years.
Most improved members of the group, Erika Oland and Adelaide Flanary,
were recognized with trophies for their exceptional progress as twirling
members. McKenzie Walker earned the respect of her coaches as most improved
percussionist. Additionally, twirlers who completed their first year of membership
were rewarded with “Survivor” plaques. These members were David Haynes,
Caylan Markel, Britany Study, Courtney Study, and Bianca Thews.
The Catoctin-Ettes also recognized Paula Sharrer as the Most Valuable Player
for 2015, due to her involvement in each area of the corps. Completing the
awards ceremony, Angela Ridenour was named as Hero of the Year.
The stage production and awards presentation marks the forty-second year that
the Catoctin-Ettes has closed a successful and rewarding marching corps season.
