The Liberty Belles of Thomas Jefferson High School
are well known and respected in the Dallas community for
being an Award-Winning Precision Drill Team - A reputation they
and Thomas Jefferson PROUDLY display.
Membership in this elite group is by no means automatic.
It is an honor awarded only to those who demonstrate the
necessary academic requirements, physical skills and the
emotional commitment that are associated with the name Liberty
Belle. In December, after two weeks of intensive training,
40 dedicated young ladies are selected from a field of many
by an independent panel of judges.
During the spring semester,
the new Liberty Belles prepare for the demanding but exciting
schedule ahead; competition, pep rallies, and their performance
at the Spring TEA.

In the Summer
each Liberty Belle has the opportunity to attend a
unique drill team camp
where she will learn new dance techniques and routines
and experience worthwhile camaraderie.
In August, two weeks before the beginning
of school, the members return to Thomas Jefferson
to prepare for the upcoming football season and other
activities. Throughout the
school term, the Liberty Belles are frequently asked
to serve as hostesses, march in parades, and perform
at various community activities.
The Liberty Belles of Thomas Jefferson
High School have achieved respect and excellence not
by chance but by hard work and dedication. It is EACH
member's responsibility not only to maintain but enhance
the quality of the whole. |
