A Tribute to Lake Travis Area Drill Teams and Local Alumni: Cavalettes and Legacies

Written by Cathy Hale | April 27, 2017

In the Lake Travis area, football is a big deal. But there are other athletes in Lake Travis who work just as hard as our helmet-clad fellas …

Ladies, it’s time to embrace your inner dance mom, because we’re singing drill team praises today! It’s not just about kick lines, red lipstick, hairspray and sequins. It’s about teamwork, a sense of accomplishment and structure.

In Texas, drill teams are like sororities. These young women are more like tight-knit families than friends. They dedicate themselves to their craft and bettering the community. There are legacies and alumni spanning the generations.

This weekend, two Lake Travis area schools will be having their annual Spring Shows, the Vandegrift Legacies and the Lake Travis Cavalettes.

In honor of these talented young ladies and everyone who supports them, we’re taking a closer look at the Cavalettes (founded in 1981) and the Legacies (founded in 2009).

Plus, we’ve added a little tribute to former drill team members who are still cultivating a love of dance in the Lake Travis community.
