High School Formation Help

[smontie]

Hi,
I choreo'd my dance for my team before the season, and have three sections of motions.
Then I had sign ups and now have 23 on the team! I'm struggling with a formation, at least for the first formation, and can't seem to find anything that works for 23 people! I can deal with the transitions throughout, but seriously can't wrap my brain around getting 23 people into a symmetrical formation of any kind...
Any suggestions? Help!

I just thought up a few really quickly for you...hopefully you can understand what I'm about to type! lol I am going to use "X" for people and "O" for spaces

1-
XOOOOOXOOOOOX
OXOXOXOXOXOXO
OOXOXOXOXOXOO
OOOXOXOXOXOOO
OOOOXOXOXOOOO
OOOOOXOXOOOOO

This is just a simple V with a split center

2-
OOXOOXOOXOOXOOXOO
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
OXOXOOOXOXOOOXOXO
OOXOOOOOXOOOOOXOO

This once you write it out will be like a W with three centers if that makes sense- like this- \/\/\/

Hopefully that helps! Let me know if you need more!

Thank you, thank you! That's a huge help!

I have 27 on my team this year so I feel your pain. Whenever I have an odd number of kids, I always make whatever formation I like for an even number of kids and then pull one spot near the back that is centered as a "hole" with no one in it.

Try to remember that the new dance scores need 3 different points for the dance to get a perfect score ( I know that's not really any help with formations)... It may help when switching them around then?

I understand, we have 13 girls so we do a lot of W's and diamonds with X's in between or triangles
