A New Season!!!

A couple weeks ago the Park Hill South guard opened up auditions for the winter guard season. We were looking to grown in numbers of course.....but I was also looking forward to finding some new talent.

We had 10 girls return from the fall...the same girls to marched with us in our competitive shows and we ended up having 10 new students audition. It was very exciting to think that we might have a chance to DOUBLE the group in the course of 5 days...very exciting!

When auditions were over we ended up taking 17 into the winter guard...10 returning members and 7 new! We even have 1 boy on the guard, which the girls were very excited about.

Since auditions we have had 3 rehearsals, focusing on training and giving all the members a good foundations before we start in on the show. The first night we literally stayed in the dance room for the full 3 hours! : )

Last night we taught a 16 count phrase that will be in the show and this Thursday we start on staging! I am super excited about this season...I look forward to seeing how the kids grow and improve. I have seen so much come out of them already. I cant wait to see what they look like on March 3rd!

Ill keep posting on our progress....and even post some videos of our new exercises we are doing. Should be FUN!
