During halftime, Moreau’s spirited rally squad performed their homecoming routine! The sqaud gave a stunning performance that kept the crowd fired up and entertained.
Varsity cheer captain Brooke Joly commented, “Honestly, this performance was super special to me. It was my last homecoming performance and our last home game. I loved this dance and we learned it in just two days! The movements were sharp, sassy, and bold. I will remember this routine forever.”
