The year has gone by quickly for the Las Chalitas drill team. This year’s team represented Spanish Fork very well and brought life to SFHS campus. The girls really showed what it meant to be a Las Chalita. This week it was time to pick out a new team for the 2010-2011 school year. This week the senior girls put on workshops Monday-Wednesday morning from 6:30-7:30am. The tryouts were Thursday afternoon, and the new team was decided Thursday night.
