Thanksgiving Day Parades to feature Biron Gymnastics Show Team and Jordyn Wieber
USA Gymnastics’ Gymnastics for All Challenge champion, the Biron Gymnastics Show Team, has been chosen to perform in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade will be broadcast live from New York City on NBC, and is scheduled to take place on Thursday,
November 24, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. EST.
The show team is from Biron Gymnastics, as the name implies, a sports center that focuses on children’s gymnastics and claims to be a place “where every child is a winner”.
The Biron Gymnastics Show Team is not new to the gymnastics horizon and frequents news as a participant and a winner of gymnastics competitions round the year.
The team is supported by the Starlette Booster Club and has Team Gym Level 5 and 6 National Championships titles to its claim.
It is also a four-time recipient of Group Gymnastics Honour Awards, given out by the Gymnastics Association of Texas.
For the upcoming Thanksgiving Day Parade, Biron Gymnastics Show Team will be performing a routine choreographed by the Spirit of American Productions.
Choreographers from the New York-based agency came out to Houston especially for the task of teaching the routine to the team.
The team comprises of young girls, between ages 14 to 26 years. Their skill set includes advance level tumbling, trampoline, dance and acrobatic gymnastics.
The current team has 15 members, who have been rehearsing for the event since the beginning of October this year.
The Biron Gymnastics Show Team’s profile exuded some experience in featured performances, namely at the esteemed Gala organised by the International Gymnastics Federation. The team was selected twice as the USA National Team performers for the Gala.
Its competency is also mirrored in its regular representation of the United States in the prestigious international tournament, the World Gymnastrada Games. The event is held every four years, the team’s participation in it equals the same number.
So it was not very difficult to lean towards Biron Gymnastics Show Team when the authorities watched their performance dvd submission for their consideration in the parade.
The talented members of the Biron Gymnastics Show Team are:
Claire Hannigan Alison Massey Shelby Corder Hudson Meredith Eliza Mason Kiara Brandon Caroline Sullivan Cindy Kihneman Claire Aven Claire Jacobson Brittany Bowles Emily Winter Callie Johnston McKenna Reid Alyssa Marek
In another part of the United States, at the same time, American all-round champion Jordyn Wieber will be attending a Thanksgiving Day Parade as a featured guest.
Along with Wieber, Detroit’s Thanksgiving will also feature a country and rock band, Annabelle Road.
The event will be televised by WDIV-TV Local 4, which is the official American television station for Thanksgiving festivities.
With Biron Gymnastics Show Team and Wieber as the featured ones, gymnastics enthusiasts will have a little extra to look forward to as the holiday parades approach.
