Winter Performance Units Rock Byrnes, SC

Congratulations go out to our two winter perfomance groups, Winter Drumline and Winter Color Guard ensembles as they competed in the CIPA competition held at Byrnes High School on Saturday.

Winter Drumline gets 1st Place:
That's right, our winter drumline unit won first place in the NSA class, but more importantly achieved a score of 85 points. This score won their division and also would have placed them 2nd in the next highest bracket. This is only the 2nd year that this program has been available and already we are making ourselves well known. Their scores have risen from about 65 points all the way up to 85 points in less than 3 months.

Winter Guard gets 5th out of 11 positions:
Our winter guard unit made great progress this week in achieving 5th in the NOV division. Considering that this is the 1st year that this unit has competed, we all should be very proud of our Winter Guard! This unit practices 2 or 3 times per week after school and has excellent coaching from Robin and Phillip. We encourage you to reach out and congratulate our Winter Guard unit for a great 1st season.

We will have video from both performances online this week. Keep checking back with our website for more updates!

The next competition for both groups is Saturday, March 28th. The competition is the CIPA (Carolina Indoor Performance Association) Championships and will be held at Western Carolina University.
