Showtime! All-Male Drill Team

West All-Male stands out-of-breath, but in all smiles after an intensive workout on an early Thursday morning. In preparation for the Spirit Rally and the football game against Redondo High School, All-Male practiced their performance repeatedly with no time to spare. Quentin Fontanilla (10) expressed his thoughts and emotions before show time: “All the stuff we’ve worked on for weeks to months, all lead up to the performance that we’ve tried to perfect, and I get nervous. The adrenaline rush makes it so much more exciting, and outweighs the nervousness, though.” (Pictured from left to right: Jude Arabit (12), Jake Nguyen (12), Alexander Jr. Gaw (12), Kieffer Castro (12), Koshiro Hashinokuchi (12), Koudai Fukuda (12), Riku Kayanuma (10), Yuto Neely (12), Quentin Fontanilla (10), and Eddie Rodriguez (10).
