Auditions for Hoop Troop will take place on Sept. 7 at the Milwaukee Bucks Training Center at 3501 S.

Burleigh Rd. in Brookfield with a workshop being held on Sept. 3 from 7 to 10 p.m. in advance of the tryouts.

The seniors debuted on Feb. 27, 2007, to an unsuspecting crowd during a Bucks game against the Golden State Warriors at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. By the end of their routine, the instant fan favorites received a standing ovation for their inaugural efforts. Since then, Seniorgee! has performed at multiple Bucks games, local TV appearances, Summerfest and a variety of other events.
Debuting in the 2013-14 season will be the new Young Bucks Dance Team. This brand new performance group will be comprised of girls and boys ages 7 to 13 that have great personalities and love to entertain.
