Congratulations to the members of the Jackson Independent Winter Guard for finishing in first place in the Independent A Division at the MIA Field Show at Pearl HS on Saturday. Thank you to mat crew members Will Tribble, Christian Burford, and Gipson Clark for helping at Pearl.
The winter guard had a busy weekend, with a rehearsal and two performances on Saturday, and a rehearsal on Sunday afternoon. Best of luck to them at their next competition, February 19 at Pearl HS.
Details are still being finalized, but the band's performance will most likely be during the latter part of the school day. This will be a good opportunity for the band to gain playing experience and receive constructive inputs from qualified adjudicators before the MAIS Concert Band Festival here at JA on April 8. More details will be announced when they become available.
