ELLISVILLE \u2013 In the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Winterguard\u2019s second year of existence, they are beginning the season on solid footing by winning \u201cBronze\u201d or third place at the WGI Huntsville show in the Independent \u201cA\u201d classification, the last weekend of February. This was the team\u2019s first regional competition of the season, but not the first competition. The Winterguard schedule started in Brandon, before the Huntsville regional competition. They competed in Biloxi and Flowood, and are now headed to San Antonio, Texas, before the season culminates in Jackson, for the state championships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a moment of immense pride and accomplishment for our program and this achievement in Huntsville becomes even more significant as we stood closely behind two WGI Independent \u201cA\u201d class finalists, demonstrating the caliber of competition we faced as well marking our first national level achievement in this classification. Competing alongside such accomplished groups has been an inspiring experience, and our team\u2019s ability to rise to the occasion is a testament to their hard work and commitment,\u201d said Â鶹ֱ²¥ Winterguard Director, Meredith Owen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This team of freshmen and sophomore members competed against teams from Atlanta and Clarksville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so proud of these students!\u201d said Â鶹ֱ²¥ Director of Bands, Dr. Ben Burge. \u201cThey have represented Â鶹ֱ²¥ on the national stage and earned Bronze in a tough line up. I am excited to see how they end up at the San Antonio show and in State Championships.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with each competition, team members will build upon the lessons learned from this competition to help fuel their determination to refine skills, enhance creativity, and strengthen their collaborative spirit. Owen said their program has demonstrated its potential, and she is confident that they are well-positioned for continued growth and success moving into the final two weeks of the competitive season.<\/p>\n\n\n
