GREAT KIDS :: EVOLUTION WINTER GUARD ENJOYS BERTH TO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
By Sheboygan Press Staff Members

Sheboygan's very own Evolution Winter Guard placed 15th at the Winter Guard International World Championships in April in the Independent A Class.

Evolution traveled to Dayton, Ohio April 11-15 for the Winter Guard International sponsored contest and competed against 66 other independent winter guards.

Evolution has not made it to the final round at World Championships since 2003 with their "Star Wars" production where they took fifth 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 a performing arts
program, Evolution Winter Guard, affiliated with the Midwest Color Guard Circuit and Winter Guard International. Its members proudly represent Sheboygan 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, its 11 "A" guard members (ages 13-18) and nine "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, its members march in local and regional parades to raise funds for the following winter season.

Alumni Guard
Evolution will be forming an Alumni Guard this coming summer to participate in local parades. If you still have the itch to spin and are an Evolution/JR Brass/Brass Pak/Brass Revolution Alumni, contact Teresa McGill at (414) 915-1702 or tmcgill@evolutionyouth.org

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.
