Winterguard

THE WINTERGUARD SCHEDULE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED….THERE WILL BE NO PRACTICE ON DECEMBER 11TH, PRACTICE HAS BEEN SET FOR 5:45 ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 12TH IN WOONSOCKET (TENTATIVE); AND MONDAY, JANUARY 9TH AT SC 5:45.

HELP WANTED……. We have a fantastic Winterguard Organization which practices several times a week.  These young ladies put many hours of hard work into this program, unfortunately our competitions are all in Minneapolis.  We are estimating the expense per participant (travel, costume, drill, equipment, circuit membership fee) at about $500 per student.   The members plan on doing some fund raising, but past experience has proven that we will fall short.  We have some students who have been attending practices faithfully, but realize financially they won’t be able to afford it.  At this time we are hoping to find sponsors – not to just hand money over, but to provide these members with jobs to earn their way.   If you are willing to help us out – please contact Mr. Kroeger at brett.kroeger@k12.sd.us
