The Colorguard participated in many school activities this year. With the band and Lion- cttcs, they performed in the halftime show at football games. Their twirling flags and red, white and blue uniforms added color to the show. They marched around the field like sol- diers and maintained straight faces, revealing no emotions. It took a great deal of hard work to make their performances perfect; they prac- ticed every day after school to work on their act. In addition to performing during football games, the Colorguard took part in the Gaspar- illa Day Parade and Strawberry Festival Pa- rade. They accompanied the band on their trip to Atlanta, Georgia to compete in a contest held at Six Flags. They also went to Sugar Shak.
