Congratulations to our Color Guard team at their classification show this past Saturday at Rancho Buena Vista High School. They performed their show, “Whole Wide World” by Mindy Glendhill, beautifully before an audience and earned first place! They ended up in HS A Class (a harder and more competitive division from last year) and this is a great position for our team to be in. Congratulations to our Steele Canyon Winter Guard!
