The Kiski Colorguard made HISTORY! WGI Scholastic A Regional Champion!!! This group had a fantastic weekend of performances and got to watch some really great groups from all over the country. 
Thank you to the parents who drive your kid to practice and feed them on the way. Thank you for cheering them on week after week. Because of your commitment to your kids, they got to put their best selves forward this weekend. Thank you to the FLOOR CREW! The unspoken heroes of this activity. Carrying not only our floor and props around, but also offering to help other units on and off the floor all weekend. You deserve a big meal and a nap! Thank you to our Kiski band family for continuing to volunteer and support in your off season. You mean so much to us. Congratulations Kiski guard!
