The performance began with four barber stations set up in the middle of the gymnasium, each manned by a drill team member.

The others stood at each chair, holding perfectly still poses.

Their matching outfits, complete with pink button-ups and adorable suspenders, added to the charm.

As the crowd cheered in anticipation, the music started, and the team members smoothly spun into the barber chairs, while those posing as barbers whipped the chair clothes over their new clients.

Every movement was perfectly timed with the music.

Once the haircut was finished, the whole drill team began dancing together.

The teenage boys flawlessly executed their routine, swarming to the middle of the court after the barbering act to put on an amazing dance spectacle.

One team member stood to the side holding a massive, old-school boombox, and the drill team pretended like he was the one playing the music, creating an awesome visual effect.

Every single member was outstanding, gliding across the stage while popping their upper bodies.

The impressive routine embedded all elements of dance, even including some old-school break dancing.

The crowd went wild as they started break dancing, with one team member standing on his hands and bouncing across the stage.

Using simple props, the drill team manipulated gravity with their jaw-dropping moves.

“It’s easy to see why they’re the state champs, I don’t know how it could get any better!” they seemed to proclaim with their performance.

Spinning, shaking, and contorting their bodies was just another day at the park for these talented youngsters.

One team member even ran through a tunnel formed by the team, right before breaking out into the splits.
