The Good Stuff by Shelley Bennett |
It was back to Sacramento for the Lassen High Grizzliettes as they attended their annual Dance/Drill camp hosted by the United Spirit Association. For four days, the dancers learned new choreography, perfected their technique, challenged themselves with new dance styles, and bonded as a team. They were joined by four teams from the area.
Each day started with an hour of warmups and cardio, they moved to technique classes, then broke into different groups to learn dance routines in genres such as hip hop, jazz, kick, military, and pom.
Pom is a very popular category with dance teams at the moment. It incorporates clean, precise movements with dance styles such as hip hop and jazz.

According to head instructor Danny George, it is what many college and pro dance teams utilize and USA recognized that importance and have incorporated more of it in camp choreography.
The Grizzliettes also learned and practiced Drill Downs, which resemble military units and their marching commands. Drill Downs provide a structure and focus for teams and also emphasizes the sharp, cutting movements in classic Military style routines that they are known for.

Prominent Susanville Men Get Sage Hens and Arrested All In A Day
August 2, 1924
Five prominent business and professional men of Susanville returned yesterday with 38 sage hens and one escort. Said escort being a game warden from a neighboring county, who informed the downhearted sportsmen that they had conquered 18 more birds than the law allowed.
Tom Blight, Bert Bristol, Dr. George Martin, Al Breitweiser, Jr., and W. G. Culbreth were the victims who were hauled in Judge Younie’s court where they pleaded guilty and a joint fine of $150 was assessed on the quintet.
Sage chicken is valued at this rate at $3.95 each and no chicken on sight as the game was turned over to the county hospital after confiscation.
