Color Guard Units Will Compete in Pleasanton

Amador Valley High School in Pleasanton will host its annual Winterguard Show on Saturday, February 3, 2007.  Over 20 Winterguard Units from high schools in Northern California that are part of the California Color Guard Circuit are expected to attend.

 

Units perform dynamic, choreographed routines done to music that combines precision dance movements and the twirling of flags, rifles, or sabers.

 

Under the leadership of guard captains Kate Dowdy and Taylor Terhune, the Amador Winterguard has spent the last few months putting in long hours of practice to perfect their routines.  The Harvest Park Middle School Guard is also a part of the Amador Valley guard family and will be performing as well.

 

The Winterguard Show will take place in the Large Gym at Amador Valley High School , 1155 Santa Rita Road , Pleasanton .  The competition starts at 5:30p.m.  Tickets are available at the door.  Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students and seniors with children under 5 admitted free.

 

Baked goods and refreshments will be available at the concession stand sponsored by the Amador Friends of Music.  Proceeds from the event will go to help send the Amador Winterguard to nationals in Dayton , Ohio in April.
