The FIRST COMPETITION 2012

Here it is - the FIRST COMPETITION of the 2012 Season.  It was held at West Lake High School.  This will be the first time we see the whole show, uniforms, flags, sabre's, rifles, the painted floor, the lifts, the spins, the dance moves.  It was an exciting night!

First the bus was late picking up the girls, then one of Rachael's best friends got hurt, and left during the warmup time in an ambulance for the hospital. 

Richard is back at his hard work job - BAND DAD - helping the guards with their floors.

But the girls rallied together and had a GREAT performance.  The show this season is titled  "The Lake of Divided Swans".  Rachael is a Black Swan.

What is that in Rachael's arms?  A RIFLE!  Yes she gets to spin her rifle in the show this season!

 

WOW! What a show!  I really liked it.  I am excited to see how it changes each week.  They always seem to have something new and different to add to the show for every performance.

Awards time - the captains with their saluate. 

CONGRATS  - AMERICAN FORK HIGH SCHOOL OPEN GUARD - you were awarded

FIRST PLACE!

One of the traditions that the Guard Captains have it to "lick" the awards plaque.  Each girl picks a spot and they "lick " the same spot every time.

Now a BIG BEAR HUG among the captains.
