Carmel World Guard, congratulations on receiving first place in the Scholastic World class at the 2013 WGI Indianapolis Color Guard Regional!

 

 

 

 

The Carmel World Guard and “A” guard had a great weekend at the WGI Indianapolis Regional. The “A” guard placed 6th in their Scholastic A round on Saturday. This great and talented group of girls had a blast watching Finals on Sunday at Warren Central H.S. and were very excited to get in front of a WGI audience for the first time!

The Carmel World Guard dominated the Scholastic World competition this weekend, taking 1st place in both Prelims and Finals, and scoring an impressive 7+ points higher than any other high school guard in the competition. This group of girls has been working so hard for months now and all their training and hard work is paying off!! They are achieving at the highest level.  Many of the audience members and fans of our group can’t stop talking about how talented the girls are and how entertaining and fresh this very technically demanding show — “Full Spectrum” — is proving to be for this year’s team.

We still have 6 weeks until WGI World Championships and competition with other Scholastic groups from all over the country, including the defending Scholastic World Champion: Flanagan H.S. from Florida. We go back to work on Tuesday, putting finishing touches on the show, working changes, cleaning the program, and working on elevating performance levels.

The World Guard had a special guest in the audience this Sunday at WGI Regional Finals: Mr. John Williams, principal of Carmel H.S., who came out to watch the girls compete and show his never-ending support of our program. He was very impressed and proud of the dedication and passion the girls show on and off the floor in representing Carmel H.S.!

Our next competition for World Guard & “A” Guard is IHSCGA State Prelims on March 9th at Decatur Central H.S.

Color Guard

During the fall Marching Band Season, the Carmel H.S. Color Guard is a performance group that accompanies the Marching Band during the competitive band season by being the “visual music”.  We twirl and spin flags, rifles, sabers, props and dance to interpret the music and drill formations on the football field during competitions and half time at football games.

This year the CHS Marching Band & Color Guard will travel to New York City to perform at the 2011 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

WINTER GUARD SEASON:

The second half of the school year we participate in an activity called “Winter Guard” which takes all the skills we begin to learn over the Fall and takes it to the next level. Winter Guard is for the color guard only and doesn’t involve the band, which makes it twice as fun for the girls to shine in their own spotlight. The winter guard season is the pinnacle of our year giving the girls the opportunity to compete on a global level as opposed to just the national level during band season. We perform indoors to taped music, which is another bonus of the winter guard season!

The Carmel H.S. Winter Guard are the 2011 Indiana State Champions & the 2011 WGI World Champions!!!

Members of the color guard will not only be taught all of the physical skills of color guard, they will also learn valuable lessons that they can take with them for the rest of their lives. Some of these lessons include: self-esteem, discipline, team building, responsibility, hard work, self-confidence, and having fun by applying these things for the common goal of being “GREAT” at something!!!
