Accomplishments, Competition, Impact, Performances, Pursuit | Posted by webmaster March 15th, 2010

I want to congratulate Groove Impact and Groove Pursuit for this past weekend Performances. We performed in North St. Paul High School on Saturday Afternoon, Becker, Minnesota on Saturday night, and St. Cloud Apollo High School on Sunday afternoon.

The highlight of the 3 Events was the Becker High School performance: Impact claimed 1st in their class and 5th overall. Pursuit also claimed 1st in their class and 1st OVERALL! It was a long travel weekend for students and parents alike, but all is well that ends well!

Once again, congratulations! This is an honor not only for the Impact and pursuit, but all member of Groove! If you are interested in the competitions and scores of our travels, please check the website of www.mnperc.org. The scores usually take about a week to post.

Thanks to the staff, parents, and students for making another successful weekend of travel.

Sincerely,
Tom Stritecky
Impact/Pursuit Travel Coordinator
