Once again, the WHS Winter Guard finished on top! This time it was at the NESBA Championship. That's right, the WHS team was the best in New England!!! Congratulations to all of the coaches and students who make up this amazing group. They have put in an incredible amount of time and energy, and the results speak for themselves. The work ethic and dedication of this group is off the charts. As the winter sports season came to a close, there was very little activity around the building in the after school hours. There is a window of time between the end of winter sports and the beginning of spring sports, during which the building really empties out after the school day. It is in that stretch that the commitment level of the Winter Guard, both students and adults, is on full display. When they are the only show in town, you can fully appreciate truly how much work it takes to bring their show to such a high level of excellence. Just head down to the gym on an afternoon in March, and you will see the magic happening. It is intense! And there is also no secret why they are so good when it comes to performing at the competitions.
This New England title is just the most recent in a string of incredible accomplishments for our legendary WHS Music Program, which encompasses marching band, the jazz bands and choirs, chorus, color guard, and winter guard. They all fill this school and community with great pride. What a program!
