AHS Varsity Winter Guard Places #5 in the Country!


The Alpharetta Varsity Winter Guard began its Winter Guard International competition tour this past weekend in Knoxville, Tennessee. They competed with teams from all over the southeast. The team finished first in their round, winning all captions. This qualified them to compete in the final round. In finals, the team had quite an emotional performance and received a standing ovation from the audience. The judges were very impressed and awarded the team a first place finish for the entire competition. This placement has our team now ranked #5 in the country!! The team will continue its national competition tour in Atlanta on March 2 and then at Winthrop University in South Carolina on March 16. They will finish the season competing at the Winter Guard International World Championships in Dayton, Ohio, during spring break. Mr. Jenkins, Mrs. Schlosser, Mrs. Lukes, Mr. Parent and Mr. Walsh are very proud of the team and their hard work. Go Raiders!
