PDC Officers

I seriously love you all and think you all will do awesome at any officer position!

Please don't be sad if you didn't get what you originally wanted.  We can always use your help, even if you are not an officer.  PDC is what you make of it and we all have to help.

There are many more leadership opportunities in PDC.  A BIG one is that of a choreographer!!!! 

You are all wonderful!  We are all in this together as a team, and it is not a competition against each other.  I hate these kind of things where we have to choose from a group of already amazing dancers (like officers, soloists, sterling scholar, choreographers, etc).

Let's all pitch in and make this year rock, no matter what our title!
GO LPHSPDC!!!!
