Look for a new Marching Mustangs Color Guard. This activity is being reactivated from more than 10 years ago. Hillary Blevins and Ruth Christin are adult co-sponsors who teach technical skills and choreography with flags. Current Guardians are two Juniors, Terry Arias and Quinn Blevins; they will perform with Marching Band during pregames and half-times. These students receive a grade, as a section of the Band; they added Band to their academic schedule for Fall term. Mrs. Blevins stated, “We would like to see a coed Color Guard team grow, with up-to-six members.”
