TCGC Winter Guard Contest Volunteers Needed
Our Winter Guard’s amazing work ethic and spirit have been amazing all of us (and the judges!) so far this season. We now have the opportunity to witness all of it firsthand and show the community—as we have been all year—how amazing the Wolf Band Family is.
On March 4th the Winter Guard comes home as we host our own annual competition. We are so proud to show off how awesome it is to be part of this organization and school, but we need your help. Starting at 9:45 on that Saturday, we will have several shifts of all kinds of jobs that need to be filled. PLEASE come on out and help our Winter Guard (and to raise some money) on their march to State!
There is also set-up on Friday night and tear down after the event on Saturday. If you are able to come out I promise a good time. Meals will be provided to all volunteers.
