LOCAL GUARD TRAVELS TO INDIANA FOR REGIONAL COMPETITION By Teresa
McGill
Sheboygan’s
very own Evolution Winter Guard placed third in a national competition
this past weekend in the Independent A Class. Evolution traveled
to Chesterton, Indiana March 10th and 11th for the Winter Guard
International Midwest Regional and competed against 8 other independent
winter guards. Evolution is hoping to place well while competing
at the Winter Guard International World Championships April 12-14.
Evolution has not made it all the way to the final round at World
Championships since 2003 with their ‘Star Wars’ production
where they took 5th place against 60+ nationally competing winter
guards.
Evolution offers
children and young adults a life enriching experience in the performing
arts that develops character, discipline, and creative thinking
skills. These skills are developed through our performing arts program,
Evolution Winter Guard, affiliated with the Midwest Color Guard
Circuit and Winter Guard International. Our members proudly represent
Sheboygan, Wisconsin in local, regional and national competitions
that touch the hearts and minds of over 120,000 spectators each
year.
The winter guard
activity is best described as the intersection of the performing
arts and performance sports. In the winter, our 11 ‘A’
guard members (ages 13-18) and 9 ‘B’ guard members (ages
9-13) participate in the creation and performance of shows that
employ exciting musical selections and complex movement and equipment
work. In the summer, our members march in local and regional parades
to raise funds for the following winter season.
Can
You Help?
The children and young adults in our program are the direct beneficiaries
of every dollar we raise and spend. While we embrace an environment
of volunteerism and consistently apply ways to reduce cost, we need
the support and assistance of the community to ensure the continuation
of this organization. If you are willing to donate your time, services,
goods, or money please contact Teresa McGill at 414.915.1702 or
tmcgill@evolutionyouth.org.
