Hamilton's Stomp Team was organized by 1SG Berrian Seabrook in the fall of 1997. It is part of the Junior ROTC Leadership Program and was the first stomp team in a T.P.S. middle school. The assistant is Mrs. Cheryl Kirkbride. The stomp dance is a tradition started in the southern states in black sororities as part of a public ceremony.
Participants make music by stomping their feet and clapping their hands in unison.
Sometimes they chant. Students make up the routines which last from two to six minutes. Two stomp teams are established with tryouts continuing throughout the year. Stomp team members must maintain a C grade average, stay out of trouble, and attend practice six times a week. 1SG Seabrook has also organized the Hamilton Drill Team.
