I teach a very talented group of young ladies in our Color Guard class. They bring life to our Marching Band through the use of dance, flags, rifles, and sabers. They create a visual masterpiece at each football game, marching band competition, and winter color guard show.

Over the past few years, the Color Guard has become seriously involved in the TCGC winter color guard competitions. Two years ago our Color Guard took home the gold medal at the TCGC State Championships. Being able to transport their equipment in an equipment bag will help each young lady be organized for each competition.

As we travel to each football game or competition, we need a place to store our equipment so they can continue to look new for each performance. An equipment bag will help protect their flags, rifles, and sabers from damage as they transport them to each event. Because we are not able to purchase new flags, rifles, or sabers each year, we need to be able to keep our equipment in good working condition.

Your donation will help my students as they continue along the road of success as a gold medalist in the TCGC State Championships.
