The dance team turned in the program's best score in its history of competing in hip hop, scoring 67.8 out of 70 for 96.9 percent perfection. The Knights scored high on their trick sections, and scored at least 9.6 in every category.
The team performance in dance received high marks in overall impression, as well as jazz and hip hop scores, improving their scores from the NDA Virtual March Championship competition.
Gannon will host its annual Road to Daytona Showcase this Sunday. A hybrid of a virtual competition with live exhibition performances by the Golden Knight teams, action begins at 11 a.m. at the Hammermill Center.
The event will feature
live video, and the Golden Knights ask those who attend both in-person and virtually to consider
making a donation to Make-A-Wish.
Beginning Saturday, March 20 and running weekends (Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays) through Sunday, April 25, each Gannon student-athlete participating in the day's contests will be permitted two family members or members or their immediate pod to attend home events at Gannon University.
