1, 2, Kick, Up! Here comes Squad 3 with Squad Leader Tacey Trypus! Tacey is a senior this year and has been in Hawk Eye for the past three years.

When asked why she joined Hawk Eye, she said, “I originally joined Hawk Eye a couple of years ago to try something completely new to me. Now in my third and final year of doing it, I not only found something I have a great passion for but also something that has brought me amazing friends and new experiences. I will miss it so much!” 

Other than marching on Friday nights, Tacey also spends her free time trying to get back into reading a lot more. She also enjoys relaxing with her three dogs and finding new shows/movies to watch.

When asked about dream jobs, Tacey replied, “I would love to be a teacher so I could not only just teach but also be someone who is there for those in need of any kind of support.”

Her dream vacation is going to Hawaii with her mom since they have been talking about it for years. 

If Tacey had one superpower, she would love to be able to mind-read.

“When I want to; not all the time, because I can definitely be nosy sometimes.”

After school, Tacey is still unsure about what she wants to do. She will most likely go to college but Tacey also is “going with the flow to see what life has in store for me.”

When asked about Tacey's biggest accomplishments in her life, she said, “Becoming a Bethette squad leader. It took lots of hard work and I am very proud of myself for getting it.”

One of Tacey’s favorite childhood memories is definitely going to Florida with just her mom.

“It was super fun and I’m glad that I got to do it with her.”

Tacey's biggest inspiration is her mom.

“I have so much love for her because of how strong she is because of the things she has overcome.”

If Tacey could have a 3-course meal, she would choose Rice Inn's General Tso’s.

“I love it so much, and I’m actually addicted to it.”

Next time you're at a football game or see Tacey at Rice Inn, be sure to say “Hi”!
