This year marks the 40th reunion of the Cougars Charms drill/dance team, and such a special occasion calls for a special dance routine.

At the Oct. 3 football game, the Charms (who were once known as the “Tam O’ Shanters”), along with 40 years of Charms alumni will come together on the field to perform a jazz-kick routine at halftime.

This year, Charms alumni are invited to come back to high school and attend a week of practice before game night.

“This will be the first time a reunion has been done before, but there is not yet a final headcount of how many returning Charms will be on the field at halftime,” said Charms director Brittany Melton.

The performance will be choreographed by Brittany Melton, as well as her mom and former Charms director, Debbie Melton.
