Cheerleaders invited to London parade
October 7, 2013
Aubrey Tucker and McKayla Moore have both been invited to march in the 2014 New Year's Day Parade in London, England.
Bonners Ferry High School cheerleaders Aubrey Tucker and McKayla Moore, both seniors, are among more than 500 high school cheerleaders and dancers from across the U.S. invited to perform in the world famous London New Year’s Day Parade.

Aubrey is the daughter of Dan and Angela Tucker, McKayla is the daughter of Dan and Karen Moore.

The individuals invited to perform in the parade qualified for the trip after being selected as an All American at one of the summer camps hosted by Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), National Cheerleaders Association (NCA), United Spirit Association (USA), Universal Dance Association (UDA) and National Dance Alliance (NDA). All Americans are selected to try out based on superior cheerleading skills at camps across the country.

Aubrey is working hard to raise the $3,290 it will cost for the trip, having raised $1,200 so far, and any help would be appreciated.

The girls will leave for London the Day after Christmas and return January 2.

Those who'd like to help can send donations c/o Angela Tucker, P.O. Box 267, Bonners Ferry, ID 83805, or stop in at the Boundary County Extension Office.

Varsity has been hosting camps since 1974. Since then, they have been leading the way by combing high energy entertainment with traditional school leadership. Each year Varsity Brands trains over 325,000 cheerleaders at over 5,000 camp sessions.

Only the top 12% of the cheerleaders who attend Varsity summer camps earn the chance to march in the holiday spectacular. In addition to performing in the London parade, the All Americans will have the chance to tour London during their seven-day trip.

“This is the 26th year we’ve been able to bring talented cheerleaders to London, where they can showcase their skills to a very enthusiastic international audience,” says Mike Fultz, the Varsity International Event Coordinator.
