When I think about my time on the Blake poms team, there is often one memory that sticks out to me the most - I was a brand new pom and the team was at dance camp at UMBC. After two days straight of grueling, nonstop practice, I remember regretting the decision to join the team. But one night during our "down time", I vividly remember April telling a story about one of her dance classes that day. She told the story with such expression - waving her arms, jumping, yelling, laughing, smiling. Soon enough she had the whole room captivated. I remember we all laughed so hard we almost cried. This is a memory I often think back on still. April was always full of energy and light, and she was always a source of positivity and motivation in tough times. She will be remembered always.
