COLOR GUARD WINS TWO STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN SAN MARCOS
ByFriendswood High School brought home a second consecutive Texas Color Guard Circuit State Championship following an inspired performance at Texas State University on Saturday, March 27, 2010, where over 100 High School groups competed. The Varsity team is competing in the Open Class division, the highest competitive level for Color Guard in Texas. This high achievement is a result of dedication and hard work, and something to be proud of.
The Friendswood Junior High Guard took top honors as well placing first in the Cadet (Junior High Division). This is their second State Championship in the past 3 years. The Junior High is our entry-level program, giving the students a preview of color guard, and a chance to compete at an entry-level position before joining the high school program.
The Friendswood JV Guard placed 4th at State as well. Competing against only High School Varsity units they moved up 2 spots from their seeding and missed medaling by one point.
The Color Guard program at Friendswood High school is growing and succeeding by leaps and bounds. Many thanks to the Mustang Band Boosters for their continued support. Thanks also goes out for the support of FISD staff and administration, Bales Intermediate School for their continued support and allowing the Guards to use their facility for our home rehearsal site, and last, but not least, the many parents who have supported us through the years.
Color Guard Director is Ron Barnett!
