HILLBILLY STOMPERS PERFORM AT WVU - Group Receives Awards |
| (11/24/2004) |
 The Hillbilly Stompers Clogging Team traveled to Morgantown last Saturday to participate in the Mountaineer Week Clogging Competition. The categories included Open Line, Precision, Exhibition and Solo, Duet and Trio Divisions. Age groups varied from 10 and under, 11-16 and 17 and over. The group brought home several awards for their dancing techniques and enthusiasm in their performance. First place was awarded for the entire team's performance of "Cotton-Eyed Joe," which was choreographed by team director, Kim Miller. First place was also awarded to the trio consisting of Samantha Moss, Myriah Baird and Anna Lowry, for their rendition of "Turn It Loose." Second place was awarded to Myriah Baird, Samantha Moss, Kim Miller, Jessica Cowger, Julie Rollyson and Samantha Conrad for their performance of "She's Got It All." Amy Shamblin, Jeff Duffield, Marc Jones, Jeff Duffield, Melinda Dobbins and Amber Conrad were awarded third place for their dancing skills in "Hillbilly Rock." The competition took place at West Virginia University as a part of Mountaineer Week. The week long celebration is held in honor of Appalachian Heritage. Teams from West Virginia and surrounding states are invited to attend the competition. The Hillbilly Stompers team was organized approximately two years ago. With experience ranging from less than a year to 17 years, the team is fun loving and enjoys dancing. The members originally were from Braxton County but have now expanded to include Nicholas, Gilmer, Clay and Calhoun. It's members also include three younger members that were unable to attend the competition but are crowd pleasers, just the same. They are Katlyn Moss, Brandy Dobbins and Cassi Dobbins. If you would be interested in booking the group for your festival or event you may contact us at 364-5576 or contact any of our members.
