Jordan Sumodobila, the captain of the Tiger Dance Team setup the event on Facebook and over 35 people agreed to show up, but fewer than that actually did. Jordan said, “most of the cars that came were from Stockton residents, not Pacific students.”

Last year, the dancers held their car wash at Brandenburgs and made more money there. Jordan believes that because they were not directly visible on Pacific Avenue they didn’t make as much as they could have. The weather was also not in their favor.

Junior Stefanie Heminger, freshman Alexia Case and Junior Jordan Sumodobilia stood on Pacific Ave and heard remarks from passer-by’s regarding their attire. “This middle aged guy yelled out his window telling us to put some clothes on, a few people did that actually. It was kind of embarrassing.”

After the car wash, the dancers spent four hours at the Women’s Volleyball game. On Sunday they had a ‘dance camp’ taught by a coach from the United Spirit Association.

The dance team has been using the same uniforms since before “many of them were students at Pacific.” The money they raised will be put towards new uniforms. The old uniforms, or “hand-me-downs” are falling apart and need to be replaced.

The Tiger Dancers will be present on October 13th for Midnight Mania, to help kick start the basketball season at Pacific. They will be performing new routines and hope to see you there.
