Throughout their first year at Deer Park High School,  the Deer Escort's Director,  Laurie Bowers and Assistant Director, Leslie Yarbrough had a vision of a smaller, elite, competitive dance team within their seventy member main team. In the fall of 1995, their vision expanded to not one, but two, distinctively different and dynamic 12 member teams  appropriately named Dreamscape Lyrical Company and Dreamscape Kick Company.  They were confident that the depth of talent they had developed on the drill team would allow them to compete with their twenty-four best, divided into two teams, against the top dancers concentrated on one team from any other school in there region.  Rigorous tryouts began.  Months were spent on choreography, costumes and practice, practice, practice.
     During the 1995-96 competitive season  Dreamscape entered the Large Ensemble Category for the first time.  In five competitions, only once did a Dreamscape team place, taking one third place honor.  Neither director considered condensing the talent into one team, but stayed committed to their vision.  Practice continued. Standards were set higher.  Among team members, acceptance to a Dreamscape Company became a mark of excellence.
     In the second competitive season of 1996-97 one of the two Dreamscape teams placed first at all five competitions.  Dancers and Directors from other, more experienced schools were starting to take notice.  Bowers and Yarbrough's dream was taking shape..fast.
     With two competitive seasons under their belt, the Directors kept reaching for their dream during 1997-98.  The beautiful, emotional style of Lyrical Company led by Bowers, earned them two Best in Class awards, and two second places. Ironically, when Lyrical was taking second, Kick Company was taking Best in Class. The energetic high-kick routines, directed by Yarbrough, also earned them two second places, right behind their sister Company.  At the final competition of the season, an announcement was made that in the highly competitive Large Ensemble Division there had been a tie.  Best in Class was awarded to BOTH Dreamscape teams simultaneously.
     The 1998-99 season began with a major change.  Leslie Yarbrough stepped down as assistant director to teach English full time.  Kristi Bench, a new graduate from Southwest Texas State University, confidently slid into the Assistant Director's position, which included Kick Company responsibilities.  With part time assistance from Yarbrough, commitment stayed strong. By season's end, Dreamscape Lyrical claimed Best In Class at all five competitions.  Dreamscape Kick was not far behind, placing second at most.
    In the 1999-2000 season, Director Laurie Bowers made the decision that the Deer Escorts would no longer compete in their own Winter Showcase Competition. For the Dreamscape Company, this meant that they would only have the opportunity to compete in four competitions instead of the usual five as they had in the previous years. However, this only seemed to inspire the companies even more as they took full advantage of the four opportunities they had. Dreamscape Lyrical won Best in Class Large Ensemble three times with one Second Place Finish, while Dreamscape Kick won the fourth Best in Class Large Ensemble award  and three Second Place Finishes. Once again, despite the ever growing competition, Dreamscape Lyrical and Dreamscape Kick had claimed the top two awards in all four competitions.
    If success is measured one competition at a time, the Deer Park Dreamscape teams were certainly approaching the pinnacle. In just five years, Bower's and Yarbrough's vision had developed into an unprecedented run.  The excellence of Dreamscape Ensembles had become the benchmark for most other competing teams in this region.  Best In Class honors had now been won in nineteen consecutive competitions.  Dreamscape Companies stood undefeated for four straight years.  They had become the most watched, most copied, and most award winning Large Ensembles in their region.
    The 2000-2001 contest season began with much excitement. For the first time in four years, the Deer Escorts would be
attending a National Competition, and expectations were running high for the Dreamscape Companies. Also, for the first time in their history, Lyrical and Kick Companies would have a chance to compete together as one unit in the Team Jazz category. As the year progressed, the pieces began to fall into place for something very special. With Lyrical Company taking three first place awards and Kick Company not far behind them, the two companies entered the Marching Auxiliaries National Competition on March 30, 2001 as the favorites in the large ensemble category. They would also compete as one unit in the "Elite Team" category for the first time. What had begun as a dream by two directors back in 1995, blossomed into full maturity as the Dreamscape Company reached it's highest mark to date. After two full days of competition, Kick and Lyrical Companies tied for the National Championship Large Ensemble Title, and were named the National Championship Elite Team Winners, earning each company member a National Championship Letter Jacket.
     Tryouts for the Dreamscape Companies begin in September and with each new Lyrical and Kick Company, it is the dancers who have the vision of excellence, who strive to dance their dream. For Bowers, Yarbrough and Bench, the vision is now reality, they have awakened from the dream.  Lyrical Company and Kick Company now continue on as the Dreamscape Legacy.
