Congratulations to the JI Winter Guard for earning first place honors in Independent A at the Hoover Winter Odyssey Super Regional in Alabama on Saturday, followed by a second place finish in finals on Sunday, competing against a guard unit from the University of Alabama. The JI guard improved their score 7 points from the week prior.
