this is Villa Rica high school from Villa Rica, GA

One of there colorguard members, Taylor, sent us this

"My name is Taylor and I go to Villa Rica High school in Villa Rica, Georgia. Our show this year was a show about the happiness, heartache, and war of the 60s. It was called 'The age of Aquarius; Decade of the 1960's'. Our first competition was in Alabama. We were in class AAAA and there was only one other band in our class. We performed our show and in the first part we are happy hippies and we dance and have flag work. In the second part we have our sabre line as protesting hippies and they have protesting signs and then we have 6 of 8 girls on our rifle line that are the 'army men' and the other two girls are flower child's that didn't get the memo of the war and we see a fight between the protestors and the army and the two flower child's turn to rifle and we also have flags in the back. In the third part the props we have switch pictures to JFK, his brother and MLK to show the assassinations of them. We also come out with swing flags. In the fourth song we have red flags and more rifle work with our sabre line. After that we pick up portraits of Vietnam veterans and we have the props come together to form the 'Vietnam memorial wall' come up on the props. We also have a mom and a daughter, who has a single white balloon, come out and look at the wall, and then a soldier come out and presents her with a folded flag and the daughter lets go of the balloon. We then come out with streamer flags. This was probably the best performance because when the portraits came out there were 30 veterans in the stands who stood at attention till the end of our show. It was so amazing."

We really thank to Taylor for sending us this sweet moment from her band season. Its so amazing how a band's show can show the upmost respect for veterans and era of war but, also the people who died in them. we are glad to definitely post this on our blog because we want to honor the falling and the living for fighting and joining the army.

   We salute you and honor you
