All members, as well as their families, are encouraged to sign up for the forum. The forum will continue to be run until there is no longer an interest so start posting!!

Guard Performs Well

The Madison Guard has gone to a new level with the show this year. The guard received several second and third place trophies this year and achieved their greatest honor but receiving a silver second at the Heritage Festival. The show this year was a synthesized version of the classics Aaron Copland Song “Hoe Down”

Website and a Newsletter

The Madison Guard has it’s very own web-site!! www.geocities,com/dancertec
From there you can access the website and the guard forum. The website has an updated weekly schedule, funny quotes and a whole lot more!!!
The newsletter is going to be published monthly, even throughout the summer. But I have run out of article ideas!!! We are looking for guest authors to write an article about any aspect of guard you want!!!! Articles should be no more than 200 words long, and may be anonymous. Send article submissions to dancertec@yahoo.com. And include “newsletter” in the subject heading.

Rookies Prove Their Worth

This years rookies have done a phenomenal job this year!!! From learning how to do drop-spins they have come a long way and done a great job with a difficult show!!
If the rookies return next year we will be an even stronger team and will continue to improve our scores.
Lets encourage all the rookies to join Fall Guard next year, and continue with Winter!!

…..done a great job with a difficult show!!

New Matt Cart to Prove Useful

Coach Stewart has generously donated a new matt cart to the Guard. This act of generosity will make next Winter’s Guard easier for all of use. The new cart will make it easier for us to move the matt and will require less people to pull it. THANK YOU MRS.STEWART!!!!
