Both the drumline and the winter guard did well in the competitions. The next showcase “Kelleidosope” is coming up this and will, hopefully, be another great competition for both groups. Sophomore Cassidy Okenica, one of the girls on winter guard, said, “I think, as a team, we have done so well collaborating and working together to make this show amazing. We all put so many hours and hard work into being the best guard we can possibly be and we always radiate positive energy at practices, which enables us to place where we do. I feel confident about my performance on Saturday. I have learned to work to my best and I went out and performed the way our guard should.”
