Citizens National Bank recently donated $1000 to the Brownwood High School Lionette drill team as they continue to raise funds for their trip to New York to perform in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The BHS Lionettes attended a camp at SMU in June under the direction of American Dance Drill Team. Five Lionettes were chosen as All American Honorable Mention Dancers (Destiny Muenzler, Bethany Pittman, Alexis Garcia, Shania Dixon, and Alex Hetzel) and the entire team earned the title of All American Team.

With the All American Team title, the BHS Lionettes are invited to participate in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and/or the Capital One Bowl halftime performance. The cost of registration for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is $1850 per girl with additional costs for airfare.

The Lionettes will leave around November 23rd, and would have rehearsals each day along with guided tours that would include the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, a Broadway Show, the Christmas Spectacular featuring the Rockettes, and much more.

Anyone that would like to support the Lionettes can contact Stacee Hetzel @ stacee.hetzel@brownwoodisd.org.
