Mohonasen Winter Guard places first at state championships

April 22, 2011

The Mohonasen Winter Guard recently won the Mid-York SA2 State Championships held at Shenendehowa High School.

Under the direction of Lori Marshall, the group of nine students performed their show called, "Jar of Hearts."

The team held rigorous practices and performed at various competitions throughout the state, January through March.

At Mid-York competitions, teams are judged in five different categories: ensemble (how well the team works together), general effect (GE) I and GE II (how well the program is tied together visually), equipment (how well the team uses proper technique and safety precautions), and movement (how well the team marches and dances).

With help from the Mohonasen Colorguard staff—Dan Jones, Valerie DelPrado, Nora Sabatini and Corrina Pelkey—the Winter Guard became a "crowd favorite" and ended with an undefeated season.
