Our Weekly Message for March 31, 2004
 

Greetings special friends,

We just finished our 2004 National/International Competition and had over 130 teams including two teams from Tokyo, Japan. The Japanese teams were most well received and absolutely dazzled everyone with their performances. Later this week you can view the results online on our ADTS Contest Page. We continue to visit with Jean Richards, our great friend from Australia and director of the Australia Dance/Drill Team. They will be hosting the 2005 International Competition in South Australia. If you are interested in taking your team or solos, you can contact her at addt@senet.com.au.

Here are some thoughts for the day:

Friends are a special and integral part of our lives. It is best friends that are like family to us and always there for us. My brother sent me the ABC's of Friendship below. I hope that you share it with a special friend this week.

Have a wonderful week, and, as always, please keep in touch!
