2022-2023 Winter Guard Update
Hello, Guard Members!
We are approaching our first official week of the winter guard season.
If you are in color/winter guard class, you know whether you are on the JV team or the Varsity team.
If you are new to color guard and did not march this past Fall Season, you are with our JV team.
*New members are still allowed to join the JV team, up until 12/6.
If you have ANY questions about which team you are on, just reply back to me!

Dancewear. Spandex shorts or leggings or sweatpants. Be sure that all loose shorts have tights, leggings, or spandex shorts underneath. Form fitting top (that will stay put when you do handstands, etc.). Sneakers - we will continue wearing sneakers when spinning equipment!
Feel free to wear layers - stack sweats, pants, sweaters, hoodies, etc. on top of your dancewear so you're warm in the winter season, but can easily remove the layers.Hair pulled back out of the face
Snacks, for energy, in your bag - if you want!
Electrical Tape (black and white) - have a roll in your duffle at all times, in case you need to fix any of your equipment during rehearsal.

Of course, feel free to add additional things to your practice bag...deodorant, scissors, hairties, etc. Anything that you think you may need!
