The "CIRCUS" Begins

Saturday was the Evaluation Show for Winter Guard. Each Guard in the state comes and does their show for 5 judges who give their opinions on what needs to be done to make the show better before their first competition.

Richard and I were at the High School by 7:00 am to put down the Association floor. Then we watched Rachael's guard at 8:00 am. I spent the whole day at the school timing the different guards in the warm up room. None of the guards came with their uniforms - they all wore just wore black shirts and shorts/pants. Some guards don't have their own floor, some don't have all of their props ready yet. Some don't have their flags to match the show yet.

Our guard has their floor painted


They have one of their three flags ready to use

Some of the Mom's (and Grandma's in our case, - thanks GRANDMA ANDERSON) spent a few hours at the school today sewing flags.


And hopefully the uniforms will come in soon. The first competition is on February 5th.

I enjoyed the show and am excited to see it all come together. The judges had some suggestion that the Guard will work on in the coming weeks and hopefully they will have a winning show.

Here is a sneak peak:

Oops - Elizabeth

I hit the wrong button and deleted your comment instead of accepting it.

It is a good program and I like it. I feel like a little kid with Christmas coming, just waiting see it with uniforms. I'll let you know when they are doing their family show so you can bring your girls to see it.
