After taking a year off competing, The Pole Barn returned to PSO in Chicago Memorial Weekend and what a memorable weekend it was!!! We had a great comp team this season with many new friends as well as some returning ones. One of the things I love about our studio is the unmatched support that all of our students and instructors provide with each other. Our comp team is no different. No matter your level or your ability, the trust and belief in each other that is built in each practice session is unmeasurable. This comp team cheered each other on from day one and bonds were built. We laughed, we cried, we grew and we changed each other for the better. We had 3 brand new competitors and 2 OGs that competed this weekend and those on the team that are waiting until November came to support and volunteer. You all made me so proud and left it all on the stage. Putting yourself out in front of your peers to be judged is beyond difficult but you did it!! Congrats to you all and .fairy for doing the thing and killing it!!! Thank you for trusting the process and pouring your heart and soul into your pieces. You are why I do this 🩷
