Melissa Read:

I am Melissa Read. I am a junior at Aliso, and one of the two captains on the Drill team. This is my third year on the team and I love it. Dancing is my passion, and I have been doing it for as long as I can remember. I started dancing when I was 3 years old, and continued dancing off and on until I joined Drill. Drill is one of the best things I have every been a part of, and I love
everything about it! In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with friends, going to the beach, singing, watching movies, and shopping!! I would have to say that my family and friends are the people who support me the most, and I don’t know where I would be without them. The three most important things in my life are Faith, Family, and Friends. I am very excited for this new year, and to be a part of this wonderful team. I love all of these girls and can't wait to spend time with them. GO ALISO. YOU KNOWWW!!!

Noel Lee:

Noel is a sophomore and is so excited to see what her second year on the wonderful drill team will bring. Dance is Noel’s escape in life and no words can describe the way she feels when she dances her heart out. Her passion and enthusiasm for dance fuels her excitement about being a part of drill and to be a leader. She is trained in jazz and hip hop but takes a high interest in contemporary dance and hopes to reach all of her goals in dance during her lifetime. During her spare time she likes to hang out with friends, go to the beach, and just enjoy living life to the fullest. You will most likely always see Noel happy because she believes it is just a waste of life to be down when you could be smiling. Two of her favorite TV shows are So You Think You Can Dance and America’s Best Dance Crew, both of which she watches religiously. Noel feels so blessed that God put dance in her life and she plans to do it to his glory all throughout her dancing career. Noel can’t wait for everything that this year will bring, and most of all to get to know her new drill sisters and to grow even closer to the amazing ones she has already met. She plans to give this team her all and do anything in her power to make it even greater than it already is. Noel truly believes that everything happens for a reason and as long as God keeps dancing in her life she plans to make the best of it.

Tawni Curtis:

Tawni is a second year member on the drill team and a junior at Aliso Niguel. Dancing is her passion and it helps her sort things out within her life. She has been dancing on and off since she was a toddler and just returned  a couple years ago, practicing in ballet and jazz with the occasional rare but fun hip hop class. When she is dancing nothing else going on within the world exists to her. In her spare time Tawni enjoys swimming, going to the beach, snorkeling, boating, editing movies, laughing (a lot), and hanging out with her drill girlies, whom she could not live without. Her team, friends, and family are her life, support, and love. Tawni also has this awful habit of closing her eyes while taking pictures, which her team constantly teases her about. She is very excited for the new season and can not wait to see what amazing memories the team will make!

Bridget's favorite Drill memory so far has been summer camp in Laguna Beach because of all the fun memories we shared!  Of course, there are a lot more still to come.
