Thomas Middle School Poms is a dance team open to 7th and 8th graders through auditions only. We perform "halftime" routines involving complex choreography including turns, leaps, tumbling, and flexibility. Poms members perform during sports games, outdoor performances for special school events, and Variety Show. We also work on entering dance competitions state-wide.
