Congratulations Megan Perkins, #BANDhasYourBack!
This season, BAND went on the look for exceptional young athletes who empower and inspire everyone around them. We asked coaches to tell us about an athlete that has inspired them and the rest of their teams to work harder and push forward in the face of challenges.
We were amazed by the incredible stories that coaches from all over the country sent in about their athletes. The amount of love and passion felt by the coaches who submitted was clear in every entry, and it has been very difficult to narrow down the list of deserving and qualified athletes.
BAND is very pleased to present our Recommended Athlete Scholarship to Megan Perkins.
Congratulations, Megan!
Based on her skill, sportsmanship, and perseverance, Megan Perkins has been awarded the ‘Recommended Athlete’ Scholarship by everyone here at BAND. We hope she continues to uplift her teammates and helps them band together!
Megan is a co-captain for the varsity cheerleading team at University High School in Orange City, Florida. Her dedication to improving her skills and her incredible bravery is an inspiration to the rest of her team.
During UCA’s summer cheer camp, Megan was chosen as a UCA All-American Cheerleader and invited to perform at the New Years Day Parade in London.
She also received an invitation to try out for UCA Staff after graduation, which gives her the opportunity to teach cheer camps across Florida and the Southeast.
Though Megan has experienced a few setbacks in her cheerleading career, she is stronger than ever going into her senior year. Even when she’s not cheering, she loves to support her teammates.
Megan also helps train younger athletes as a cheerleading coach for Pop Warner.
Outside of cheerleading, Megan shows her bravery as a Cadet Captain, where she trains with the Orange City Fire Cadet Post to save lives and help others.
When she graduates from school, she has plans to become a full-time firefighter/paramedic and help support and care for her community.
At BAND, we are inspired by Megan’s bravery and selfless dedication to her community. We hope that this scholarship will inspire Megan and her team to continue pursuing their passions and band together!
A great coach inspires their athletes, but great athletes inspire their coaches.
Coaches, do you have an athlete that inspires you and your team? There are still a few weeks left in the Coaches Recommendation Contest for you to submit their story for the chance to win a ‘Recommended Athlete’ Scholarship from BAND.
