THE FAB GIRLS BEGAN, ORIGINALLY, IN 1998. THEY WERE
COMPRISED OF A FEW NEIGHBORHOOD GIRLS WHO CAME TO PRACTICE IN FOUNDER/DIRECTOR, GAIL PEARSON'S, GARAGE. FOR NEARLY FOUR
YEARS, THE ORIGINAL FAB GIRLS PERFORMED AROUND THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY. THEY DISBANDED WHEN MOST
OF THE GIRLS ENTERED HIGH SCHOOL AND BEGAN USING THEIR TIME AND TALENTS TO ENTERTAIN AT HALF TIMES,
TWIRLING BATONS, FLAGS AND FIRE BATONS. SOME OF THOSE ORIGINAL FABS HAVE GONE ON TO EARN SCHOLARSHIPS
TO COLLEGE. A FEW COME BACK OCCASIONALLY TO PERFORM WITH "THE NEW FAB GIRLS".
IN 2006 WHEN MISS GAIL STARTED TEACHING DANCE IN WINNETKA PARK, SHE SIEZED THE
OPPORTUNITY AND ADDED BATON TO HER DANCE CLASSES. THE FAB GIRLS WERE REBORN. THESE NEW FAB GIRLS SOON
GREW IN NUMBER FROM EIGHT OR NINE TO TWENTY SIX AND, NOW, INCLUDE GIRLS FROM NORTH WEDDINGTON AND WOODLAND
HILLS PARKS.
THE FAB GIRLS DANCE, SING, TWIRL BATONS AND WORK WITH ALL SORTS OF PROPS
AND COSTUMES. IF MISS GAIL CAN USE IT IN A NUMBER, SHE WILL.
THE AGE LIMIT WAS SIX AND UP UNTIL ARELI'S THREE YEAR OLD SISTER, MELANIE, TAUGHT
HERSELF TO TWIRL. MISS GAIL HAD NO CHOICE BUT LOWER THE AGE LIMIT.
IN 2008, THE GIRLS WERE SPLIT INTO FAB SENIORS AND JUNIORS. THEY PLACED
FIRST AND SECOND PLACE RESPECTIVLY IN THE 2008 MEMORIAL DAY PARADE. THEY ALSO HAVE WON FIRST PLACE IN THE 2006 AND 2007
CANOGA PARK MEMORIAL DAY PARADE AS WELL AS FIRST PLACE IN THE 2006, 07, 08 AND 2010 GRANADA HILLS HOLIDAY PARADE.
LIKE THE ORIGINALS, THESE NEW FAB GIRLS ENTERTAIN AT FUNCTIONS ALL OVER THE
SAN FERNANDO VALLEY.
LOOK FOR MORE OF THE FAB GIRLS IN THE FUTURE INCLUDING THE 2011 CANOGA PARK MEMORIAL
DAY PARADE.
