New senior Pom Pom and Cheerleading champions were crowned at this year’s Randfontein Show – something that hadn’t been the case in the past half decade.
Even before the event started, competition among the schools was fierce, with all the groups of learners yelling out their school’s name.
The Pom Poms have always been one of the highlights of the annual Randfontein Show, and with Jannas dominating the event for five years running, it was a huge surprise for the Pom Poms, and the other contestants, when Randfontein High School (RHS) won the competition on Thursday, 2 March. The victory was surely well deserved. The emotions on their faces, the dancing as a unit and the red jackets of the girls were extremely eye-catching.
Hoërskool Riebeeckrand was second and Jannas third. The other competing school was Thuto Lehakwe Secondary School.
The little ones from Twinkle Stars Daycare Randfontein also stole many hearts with their performance and it was clear judges were going to have a hard time making a decision.
The winner of the Junior Pom Pom competition was Laerskool Rapportryer. In second place was Ram Extreme and in third place, the Rampoppies. The response from this winning group was that of extreme excitement. The crowd was also very pleased. The other competing school was Westgold Primary.
Overall, the Pom Poms from all the schools looked absolutely stunning, in black, white, pink, green, blue and many more colours. It was all shimmer and shine, attitude and tricks. Some groups used props while other Pom Pom groups just relied on their dancing skills.
With this, another thrilling Pom Pom Competition came to an end.
The champions, RHS Pom Poms, also performed before the Jay and Liani performance on Saturday evening, thrilling the crowd with their moves.
