Congratulations to our winter guard teams that competed this past weekend at the Winter Guard International Regional Competition.  This regional included groups from California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas.  Our JV team was the only Arizona group in their division to advance to finals competition and brought home the third place trophy!  Our Varsity team competed in the highest division and earned a season high score of 77.2 capturing 2^nd place only 2 points behind an extremely talented group from Texas.  This score not only solidifies their number 1 ranking in the state but will also rank them nationally!  Both groups will compete again this Saturday at Gilbert High, good SKILLS to all of the performers!
