It’s that time of year again! It is the time where children and adults of all ages are engaged in the holiday season and the cheerful atmosphere that comes with it. The West JV Whisperettes are taking part in various events this weekend that pertain to the holiday season. This weekend will be a kickline weekend for sure as they participate in many community service events such as the Tender Years Treasury, then they will perform at a foundation known as “Angela’s House,” and they will conclude the day by performing at the Tree Lighting Ceremony courtesy of the Smithtown Rotary Club.
“Angela’s House” is a new edition to their community service this year. IT is a foundation that houses terminally ill children. During this time of year, they try to create as many activities as possible so the JV Kickline will perform their holiday routine for them. Overall, it will be a heartwarming experience that is all holiday themed.
The Tree Lighting Ceremony consists of a walk from the Smithtown Library to the historical Brush Barn. At the Brush Barn, many residents of Smithtown and people from other Long Island towns will gather together for a time of festivities. Everyone is accompanied with holiday music, candy canes being handed out, and a visit from Santa Claus.
The kickline girls will help by handing out candy to the children and organizing the lines to help meet Santa. After this year’s festivities, they will perform the Glee version of “We Need a Little Christmas.” Song choice is something that needed to be taken into consideration because we would rather kick to a song that will be familiar to the audience rather than a song that only targets a single age group, therefore, holiday classics are always the best way to go.
Their routine consists of formations that try to mimic holiday shapes such as the snowflake formation and one that looks like a Christmas tree to create the entire holiday atmosphere and experience. “The routine is cute, and we look amazing in our holiday outfits. It will be so fun!” says JV member Megan Courtney.
The Smithtown West JV Whisperettes also have another community service project this weekend as well. This is known as the Tender Years Treasury, where we would visit the senior citizens home in which we go to take the children around and help them purchase gifts for their parents, teachers, and friends. After they get to make cookies and create cards that they would present along with their gifts.
The JV Kickline will also be performing their holiday routine at the upcoming girl’s basketball game before the winter break.
It is true, we all “need a little Christmas,” and after this weekend the JV Kickline will help to really kick off our holiday season and get us into the holiday spirit.
