The squad have also won two bids to compete in America at the US's largest cheerleading competitions at Canam in Myrtle Beach and at the World Championships in Florida. This is the first time an MK squad have won these bids for a cheer category, bids have previously been won in dance categories, initially by the Ice Gems in 2004 and again by MKCA in 2006.

The squad wish to thank their sponsor for funding all the expenses for the trip with the exception of their food which the children themselves paid, without this funding the trip would not have been possible.
