Jump Jam Christchurch Competition

Amy Gudgeon —

What a massive weekend of Jump Jamming we had last Saturday. 7 teams competed in different categories throughout the day. The performances were full of enthusiasm, positivity and it was great seeing everyone shine on stage.

The two Junior teams, Prebbleton Jumpers and the Prebbleton Jammers, did very well with both receiving certificates for either presentation or technical execution. The Prebbleton Jammers also came fourth in a tough category of 14 teams. Congratulations to Lilly, Lucy, Amber, Tianna, Jasmine, Ayla, Indi, Ellie, Emme, Isabelle, Josh, Ethan, Mei, Saanvi, Amilee, Freya, Katie-Maree, Milla and Hannah. We must also mention Keiva who was too ill to perform on the day.

The Prebbleton Groovers were the first performers on stage in their Yr 4-8 Strictly category and they set the bar high, also achieving a couple of certificates including one for Sportsmanship. Great job and well done to Esther, Holly, Silvia, Hannah, Abbie, Sviendis, Kate, Lily and Grace.

The Prebbleton Pink Ladies did a great job coming third in their All Stars section. They brought high energy to the stage and performed fantastically on the day. Congratulations to Sarah, Nina, Alice P, Lucia, Sophie A-L, Alice C, Cooper-Rose, Sophie C, Rosie, Mia and Kate.
