Favorite thing about being in the Pride of Arizona :My favorite thing about being in the Pride of Arizona is being able to dance in such an incredible stadium under the most amazing program. I remember my first time walking onto the football field and there were so many people cheering, I could see myself on the big screen, and the Pride was marching their hearts out along side us… it still gives me chills to this day. There is nothing like performing in the stadium or McKale and I am so grateful I get to do it with some of the most amazing people!
