This week, the Varsity Majestics represented Argyle with pride at the first-ever Texas Dance Team Assessment for the DFW Region. Not only did they make history by participating in this groundbreaking event, but they also earned a Division 1 rating, receiving straight 1s from all four judges—an incredible achievement!
This contest serves as a pilot program that will eventually be adopted by UIL, turning drill team dance into an official UIL event. Our Varsity Majestics, already state champions with numerous awards, embraced this new adventure with excitement and energy!
The Majestics are directed by Haley Martinez and Alexis Kaftajian. Congratulations, Majestics! We are very proud!
