When you grow up together in physie, you become more than just friends, you become physie sisters.  It’s a bond that stays for life.  You know your physie sisters ‘get it’ – they know how hard you work all year, how much courage it takes to step out onto the competition floor and perform for an audience, how much it means to you… to do your best, to get through it without a wobble, the rush of nerves before you take that first step and the feeling of relief, even exhilaration when you finish – you did it!  And when you come off the floor, there are your physie sisters with a thumbs up, a hug, a “nailed it.”  And then it’s your turn to be there for them…
