Haley Stilwell and Madison Barter (both BCS sophomores) were chosen as two of more than 650 high school cheerleaders and dancers from across the U.S. who travelled to London and represented Varsity Spirit in the world famous London New Year’s Day Parade. These girls qualified for the trip after being nominated as an All-American at one of the summer camps hosted by Varsity Spirit. All-Americans are selected to try out based on superior cheerleading, dancing and leadership skills at camps across the country. Only the top 10% of the more than 325,000 cheerleaders and dancers who attend the 5,000 Varsity summer camp sessions earn the chance to march in the holiday spectacular. Haley and Madison performed with 10,000 cheerleaders, dancers, marching bands, and acrobats from over 20 countries worldwide. Established as one of London’s biggest events, the parade is seen by nearly 300 million people around the world. Congratulations to Haley and Madison on earning this prestigious experience and also to BCS Cheer Coach, Amanda Stilwell.
