Congratulations to the Grants Pass Winterguard for taking first place at their competition January 31st that was held at Liberty High School in Hillsboro, OR!  GP has not had a competitive Winterguard since 2009 and the program and staff are extremely excited to be back.  The team consists of 16 members from 8th to 11th grade.  Winterguard is an indoor color guard activity that performs on a tarp floor in gymnasiums.  The activity consist of dance movement with a large focus on spinning flags and tossing rifles and sabres.  The 2015 show is titled "The Flood" with music by Katie Melua.  The team has two more competitions with the first one at Skyview High School in Vancouver, WA on March 7th and finally, Championships at West Salem High School in Salem, OR on April 4th.  The team is scheduled to perform at halftime of the GP Boys Basketball game on February 17th and will be scheduling a home performance for family, friends and community members in the month of March.
