Making Dreams Come True

Hello everyone I’m Meghan Webster! I recently attended NCA Camp (National Cheerleading Association) at Husson University and won the Top American Cheerleading award! Cheering has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked extremely hard over the years to earn the Top American award. I’ve encountered mistakes, falls, a few small injuries and at times feeling completely defeated, but my love for cheering never let me give up. Earning this award is allowing me the opportunity to travel to Hawaii and perform and march at the “Remembering The Past and Celebrating The Future” Memorial parade that marks the 81st Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Not only do I get to perform and do what I love, but I get to perform in front of some of our nations heros! To say I’m honored is an under statement. This trip will also include educational tours where I will learn about our history, different cultures and exploring a new state! I’m asking today for help and support fulfilling this dream of performing at the 81st Pearl Harbor Remembrance Parade. With a little help from the community I’m ready to represent Poland Regional High School and be a part of a very special event. I’m very appreciative to all those who donate, share the link to spread the word and those who cheer me on to make this dream come true! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADER TO PERFORM IN THE PEARL HARBOR MEMORIAL PARADE IN HONOLULU, HI

 

Auburn, ME, 07/14/2022 – Poland Regional High School is proud to announce that its cheerleader member, Meghan Webster, will represent Varsity Spirit, the global leader in cheerleading, dance team and band apparel, camps and competitions, and a division of Varsity Brands, the market leader in team sports, school spirit and achievement recognition, in the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade at the In Honolulu, HI from December 4-9, 2022.

 

Cheerleaders and dancers who are invited to perform in the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade are part of a select group of All-Americans identified at Varsity Spirit summer camps across the country. All-Americans are based on superior cheerleading or dance skills as well as leadership skills at camps operated by Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), Universal Dance Association (UDA), National Cheerleaders Association (NCA), National Dance Alliance (NDA), United Spirit Association (USA) or Urban Cheerleading Experience (UCE). Auburn Wreckers attended NCA Camp at Husson College on 7/7/2022- 7/10/2022 where Meghan Webster was selected as an All-American. Only the top 12% of the cheerleaders and dancers from Varsity Spirit camps earn the chance to participate in a performance of this caliber. 

“We are thrilled that these excellent athletes will have the chance to perform and experience our Special Events in Honolulu, HI,” said Bill Seely, President of Varsity Spirit. “We are honored to provide them a one-of-a-kind opportunity, where they will meet and connect with cheerleaders and dancers from across the country, as well as be a part of a meaningful parade experience that represents our nation’s history.”

 

Meghan will perform with Varsity Spirit All-Americans in an exclusive performance prior to the opening ceremony of the parade, and then be a part of the parade before thousands of fans lining the streets of Waikiki Beach. This trip marks the 81st Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The parade theme is "remembering the past and celebrating our future." We honor our veterans and their families while recognizing that once bitter enemies can become loyal friends and allies.

 

Besides being able to perform for true national heroes, athletes will have the opportunity to meet cheerleaders and dancers from across that nation and enjoy a memorable trip to the Pearl Harbor Memorial and the USS Missouri Battleship.

 

"I'm most looking forward to meeting other All Americans who are just as dedicated as I am, and making forever lasting friendships with cheerleaders from all over the United States. Being part of the parade and walking along side our nation's heroes and preforming for them is a honor in itself. I'm really excited to see with my own two eyes where pearl harbor happened, and learn more about the history of pearl harbor" - Meghan Webster
