Dear Blue Brigade, I know I say this every year but I can’t believe it’s already time for the Spring Show! First, I want to welcome Jami Friedman to her first Blue Brigade Spring Show! Jami, we are so very lucky to have you be a part of our team. Thank you for EVERYTHING that you have done for this team, and for me, this year. You are the best and we love you! Sophie, Kylie, El, Catherine, Smith, and Gaby… thank you for your dedication and your love for this team. It takes a lot to be a leader day after day. Thank you for stepping up every single day to make this team the team that it is today. You make this team a priority in your life and I really appre- ciate that and I know they do as well! Olivia H, Mary Mae, Tatum, Chloe, and Olivia P… thanks for always making the team smile and laugh with your silly games, awesome posters, and your birthday donuts among other things. You motivate this team day after day and I don’t know what we would do without you! To our seniors… Gabba, Courtney, Kylie, Sophie, El, Olivia and Sofia…it seems like only yesterday you were performing your first dance as new members and now you are preparing your Senior solos. It seems hard to believe! You have each grown so much these past 4 years. I wish you all the best of luck in this next chapter of your life. Thank you for being such great role models for this team, you will all be greatly missed! To the team, what a year! From outstanding performances during football season, to absolutely crushing it at contests, you all continue to impress me over and over again! You continue to show up and work hard and it has paid off in so many ways. Go out there tonight and show them what hap- pens when you “show up and work hard!” This show is going to be amazing, just like each and every one of you! Thank you all for always making me proud to be the Director of the McCallum Blue Brigade! I love you all! Honey

Blue Brigade, I am so excited to watch my first ever Blue Brigade Spring Show! You have worked extremely hard, so I know this performance will show off all of your dedication and accomplishments you’ve had this year. Honey, thank you for teaching me what it means to be a drill team director! I am in awe of how much you do for this team, and it runs so smoothly because of you. I look up to your patience, kind- ness, and dedication to making Blue Brigade the best that it can be. Thank you for everything you have done for me this year. Officers, thank you for all of your extra hours to work behind the scenes on dances and forma - tions and for listening to all of my crazy suggestions. This team had so much success because of your leadership and ability to implement changes and new ideas. Socials, thank you for your positivity and energy every day. You all brighten the room and always lend a helping hand when needed. To the team, you have been so sweet and welcoming to me this year. I know long contest prac- tices can be draining physically and mentally, but thank you for always pushing through. I have seen so much growth in everyone this year, and I am beyond proud of each of you. Thank you for making my first year on Blue Brigade one to remember! Best of luck on your next chapter seniors, you will
be missed! Much love, Ms. Friedman
