After much discussion with the guard, guard captains, and guard staff, we have decided to move the colorguard solo and ensemble date to Tuesday, March 30th 5:30-9pm. This will allow all members to have more time to refine and clean each performance to make them the absolute best they could possibly be. We will still live-stream this event on our YouTube page which can be accessed by CLICKING HERE.
