To wrap up our major Add-to-Archive series, we’re ending where it all began (and where we are today): The Fall Performance Team 📣❤️🖤
This last archive drop is extra special to me. As I dug through the vault, I found myself (and my best friend) as a 3rd grade Junior Clinic dancer in 2007. Additionally, many of the photos from 2013–2016 were captured by my own mom, who served as the team photographer during my years on the team (which is also why there’s an abundance). Seeing these faces reminds me that ERDT isn't just a program; it's a home that raises us.
While the uniforms and styles have changed since the 1960s, the mission of this program has come full circle. We are— and have always been— about community, entertainment, and sisterhood.
Whether we’re performing under the Friday night lights or training the next generation of Elks at youth clinics, the heart of ERDT remains the same. We are so honored to carry this legacy forward into the 2026 season, and beyond.
Thank you for coming on this journey through the archives with us. The vault is officially open, the memories are preserved, and the best is yet to come! 🎬✨
If you would like to ADD to the archives, drop photos in the comments or send us a message! We’re overwhelmed with the incredible feedback from these posts and will continue to make archive additions every few months!
It was, is, and always will be— GOOD to be an Elk!🫎❤️
