   I just love winter guard and winter percussion!!!!
   And i cant believe how high these scores are for both events!
   Its just amazing to me because our high school winter percussion just broke 80 on our championships. The good news was that we got 2nd! Keep up the good work everyone.

   2008 was the the second year of Drumline for SHHS and the first time ever at WGI. It was a thrilling experience to see all the wonderful talent at the finals, and especially to see our kids win! I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to share this special moment with my son. I hope to return again in 2010, and I urge all parents to join you son or daughter in a once in a lifetime experience.
