Carmel Winter Guard at Finals
Congratulations to the 2011 Carmel Winter Guard for placing first at the WGI World Championships in Dayton, Ohio.
The Guard builds on it’s excellence.…winning the Mid-South Color Guard Regional in Nashville, TN and State prior to that! The Guard’s scoring in the finals was very impressive. It was a beatiful show. Titled “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish!”

The show is based on a commencement speech given by Steven Jobs at Stanford University in 2005. Steven said that there are three major stages in your life. One of them is work. Work will fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to work hard.
Well, the 2011 Carmel Winter Guard took that idea to heart and work hard…they did. And the results? Well, we can be assured that they are “truly satisfied” with their efforts.
“Carmel has the hunger, and it shows in this visual interpretation of Steve Jobs’ 2005 commencement address that urged graduates to “find what you love.” These students love color guard, love performance, and they spread that hunger from end-to-end in one of the season’s most provocative and engaging presentations. Ignore one directive, however: it would be foolish to discount this up-and-coming Indiana valedictorian.” David G. Hill, Mid South Color Guard Review, WGI
