2014 Winter Guard Is Here!

Here is the information sheet given out at the information meeting on November 13th.



Welcome to the 2014 SFHS Winter Guard program!
Director: Assistant:
Sarah Nasson Tammira Mathison
603-540-9570

Who can participate: ANYONE under the age of 18 who has not graduated from high school who lives in the SFHS boundaries. Students will be required to sign a contract agreeing to attend rehearsals & competitions, know their work, pay their fees on time and have a “C” average in order to maintain eligibility. (9th grade +)

What is winter guard?
It is the Sport of the Arts. Indoor guard is a very competitive version of fall guard.

How much does it cost?: We do not receive funding for our winter guard program and are completely self-sustaining. The cost of participation depends entirely on the number of participants we have. Our operating costs for an extremely basic 2014 program is $2,425. We are not charging for uniforms or equipment use. However, if a student loses, breaks or destroys a piece of equipment, that student will be responsible for an appropriate repair or replacement.

What is the time commitment?
November is odd as we're getting things going and focusing on providing a solid training. Plan on rehearsals being Wednesdays from 3:00-5:30 in the cafeteria at SFHS and from 6:00-8:30 in the D gym at SFHS. Our times were determined in an attempt to accommodate as many scout, YW, 4H and family plans as well as when we could get use of the appropriate facilities. The rehearsal and competition schedule will be posted on our blog (sfwinterguard.blogspot.com) and on our brand new SFHS facebook page (SFHS Color Guard).

November:
15th: 3:15-5:45 (Beginning clinic: flag & dance basics)
18th: 3:30-6:00 (Drill/blocking rehearsal)
20th: 3:00-5:30 (Dance rehearsal)
22nd: 4:00-6:30 (Review drill and dance, add flag training & section 3 choreography-16 counts)
26th: 3:30-8:00 (Review, add section 1 choreography- 50 counts)

Lesson plans/rehearsal goals are also going to be posted this year.

If I have a problem with you or the way you handled something, who else can I talk to?
Clint Roberts (clint.roberts@nebo.edu) is the guy I get to report to. If you don't like something I've done, choice I've made or color of my socks, you can talk to him. I do ask that you email or call me first so we can try to understand each other before bothering him.
