Templeton High School is proud to announce that its Varsity Cheerleading member, Kahlea Ramos, represented 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 in Honolulu, HI from December 3-9, 2024.
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 skills as well as leadership skills at camps operated by Varsity brand camps. Templeton Varsity Cheer Team attended USA Camp at Santa Barbara in July where she 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 athletes a one-of-a-kind opportunity, where they will meet and connect with cheerleaders and dancers from across the country and create memorable experiences on the beautiful island of Oahu.”
Kahlea Ramos performed with Varsity Spirit All-Americans in the parade before thousands of fans lining the streets of Waikiki Beach. This trip marks the 83nd Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. 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 had the opportunity to meet cheerleaders and dancers from across that nation and enjoy a traditional Hawaiian luau and a memorable trip to the Pearl Harbor Memorial and the USS Missouri Battleship.
Kahlea had this to say about her trip, “ Being a part of the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade was an amazing experience as an All-America cheerleader. The most enjoyable part of the parade was seeing everyone in the crowd constantly cheer us on and it made me feel really proud. “
