You can walk around the hallway with your letterman jacket, And you can actually let her now in ballroom dance. And then they finally got their own team coach, and now it’s a state recognized playoff team match every year between probably eight high schools. And then after I left, it became even larger, where students from other high schools would come after school to be on that team.
