The 2003 Mount Markham Ponie"s

ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT"

The first ever edition of the Ponies trotted onto the floor at ou r4th Annual Sport of the Art Competition and the group of 17 talented young people took the floor to the sounds  of the legendary rockers "KISS" and their classic  tune "Rock and Roll All Night". the Ponies were under the direction of Mr. Abate' for their first season and were assisted by Courtney Howard, Courtney Gigliotti and extra help from Jessica Nicholas and Heather Guyer. The Ponies would also march in the Memorial Day parade joining the middle school band and the Sr. High band , Mustangs and Colts. The Ponies were assisted by Mrs. Michelle McNamara and Mrs. Cheryl Kelly whose daughters (Amanda and Rachel respectively) were members of the Ponies (Thank you Ms. Mac and Mrs Kelly!).

Co Captains were Jessica Tripp and Sarah Sally

6th grade liaison was Dakota Bailey

5th grade liaison was Whitney Bastian.

The 2004 PONIES

"TNT"

Exploding onto the floor out of the trade mark arms and fist, our second edition of the Ponies proved to be the best as well. Members like: Courtney Lewis, Candice Wilson, McKenzee Brown, Teigan Hoover, Amy Daley, Samantha Miller, Ethan Smoth, Stephanie Drake, Sarah Sally, Dakota Baley, Emily Smith, Elizabeth Lounsbury, Brandy Fox, Sara Benson, Deanna Meyer, Kristin Pontero, and Kayleen Bajgerowicz rounded out the team that performed to AC/DC's "TNT" complete with Gold sweat shirts, RED berets and RED SILK flags  that complimented the guards cool look along with the trademark sweatshirt that our members get to keep after each season.

The 2005 PONIES

"Get Rocked"

Our first ever year for the J-V Competitive team. Under the direction of Co Directors: Jenn Drake and Courtney Howard, the Ponies rock onto the floor with Def Leopards Let's Get Rocked, sporting primary colors  on the flags and floor with a contemporary Old Navy outfit. The Ponies performed at Shenendehowa and Johnstown and of course did an exhibition at our Sport of the arts contest. The guard grew into a sense of stronger organization by seasons end the writing was on the wall for the staff as to what to do next and how to make it better. Smaller group next year? Move more of the key performers to Mustangs? Yes all these elements would come to place to affirm that the Ponies were indeed their own guard and would most likely be on the floor for championships in 2006.

The 2006 PONIES

"Serenity"

The Ponies under the direction of Courtney Gigliotti/Crim and Assistance from Tami Picolla and Justine Bush made an impressive mark on the novice class competition this season. Considering a very confusing start and not a clear recruitment campaign, the guard of 6 very dedicated ladies rounded out a nice season of performances by placing 6th at MYCGCs. 2007 will undoubtedly be an even better year as they finish their term in the Novice class!
