When the curtain goes up on the Highlandette Revue tonight, expect to see boundless energy, fresh faces and amazing talent as the Dettes go Prime Time and dance to your favorite songs from TV. The girls hosted a preview performance last night for parents and I got to go – I guess once you’re a Dette Mom, you’re always a Dette Mom.

You can see my photo slideshow below, including pics of performers Ryan Berg, an LH senior who sings an original song, and singers Kelly Burroughs and Allie Kirkpatrick. The Highlandudes make an appearance – they’re the crazy senior boys who entertain with a wink and a smile – as do the Highlandette Rookies, the new girls still blissful after making the team. The Wranglers and the cheerleaders will also wow the crowd. You can catch the show tonight and Saturday at 7:30 pm in the LHHS auditorium. Whatever you do, don’t duck out before the traditional finale – how DO those girls keep kicking so high for so long?!?
