Andrews University’s Gymnics presented the halftime show for the Indianapolis Pacers basketball game on Thursday, March 12. The Gymnics is a traveling noncompetitive acrosport gymnastics team that uses tumbling, handstands and flying to share God's good news.
The Gymnics have performed all around the nation and the world over the last 50 years. Recent trips have taken them as far as Canada and California as well as numerous trips around the Midwest states. In the past the team has traveled as far as Europe and Russia.
The group has performed NBA and NCAA halftime shows, the most recent being this Indianapolis Pacers game. The Gymnics also provide anti-drug and wellness rallies at middle schools and high schools, vespers and church services at academies and clinics for aspiring gymnasts. One of their more recent school presentations was here in Berrien Springs at the Berrien RESA Center.
The Gymnics operate under the motto that is proudly displayed on their jackets: “Pray, Practice, Perform,” under the leadership of their coach, Eric Paddock.
All are welcome to attend the team’s year-end home show on Saturday, April 11, at 9 p.m. or Sunday, April 12, at 3 p.m., both in Johnson Gym on the campus of Andrews University. This event takes place during the weekend celebrating their 50th anniversary as a team. Tickets available at the door.
