When the halftime shows end at the close of football season, competition season begins for the Nederland Westernaires drill team. There is little time to waste when preparing to go up against some of the largest schools in the Houston area at Regionals. The team of 44 Nederland High School students practice and polish routines ranging from Pom, Kick, Military, Jazz, Ensembles and more and then show off their precision, technique, choreography and grace to a panel of judges. Some schools at these Regionals have more than 100 dancers on their teams.
