Bazzle selected to join All American Cheer organization

Thermopolis cheerleader and high school senior Kaylee Bazzle recently attended cheer camp in Cokeville, Wyo., on June 14-16 and was asked to join the All American Cheer organization.

At the camp, Bazzle and other cheerleaders practiced stunting and cheerleading. Also there, the University Cheerleading Association (UCA) offered participants a chance through an audition where they do a cheer, a jump and a dance to potentially get accepted in All American. 

Bazzle said that at the Cokeville camp, six participants were awarded out of 23 people. The UCA holds camps across the state. 

Bazzle will go to Philadelphia on November 26-29 for the Thanksgiving Day parade, Honolulu on December 3-9 for the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade and Rome on December 26 through January 2 for the New Year Parade. 

With this honor and opportunity to participate in these events, Bazzle is now doing fundraising. Her goal is to raise approximately $20,000 to attend. Her parents own the vape shop downtown where they will do a raffle and she is planning to visit local businesses to ask them if they can put up donation jars. Additionally, she plans on starting a GoFundMe account. 

When Bazzle expresses how she feels about these events, she said, “I think it’s an amazing opportunity overall and I’m really excited for it. It’s actually a really big step towards what I want to do as a career because I want to dance and perform on stage and stuff like that. And I really enjoy each cheer.”

Bazzle had been doing dance with coach Tess Williams for the past five years and she has been doing cheer for since a freshman with cheer coach Cyndal Burrows.
