Its a guard thing: Guard of the Week- Edmond North ColorGuard

This week's Guard of the Week is..........

Edmond North Color Guard from Edmond, Oklahoma.

This guard has to be one of the most dedicated guard I have seen yet,!!!!! This group of kids work long and hard to get to where they are now, having in 2015 three consecutive 1st place, one second place, and the fan favorite award of there division.

and with there dedication, comes struggles. this year, even as much of a family they are, they had lost not one but two directors before the fall season started

"we started the season and made it to about two weeks before band camp, our directors (one was marching cavaliers) and one was with us, had a barbecue and they face timed the one marching and broke the news to us that not only are they not directing us any longer, But they are moving to another state the next day. They left us with the lovely lady we call our director now( she was a freshman in college, and had never directed a guard before). Well she had came as a tech, but ended up with a guard! Who would of thought? And our amazing captain did most of the heavy lifting while our new director was figuring out what to do. Our seniors have never had the same directors longer than 2 seasons, well almost two seasons. I just want to give

Them an amazing senior year and maybe have some people see us! We would just love it!"

this is the definition of family-

they, as a group, may not have it all, but they have it all together

this guard has so much strength in there spirit, I'm feeling their love and humbleness as I am writing this!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that Edmond Can find A long lasting Director and more dedicated guard captains like the one this year.
