This past Sunday, Wylie High’s Varsity Winter Color Guard performed at the WGI Sport of the Arts Regional at Coppell High School. They performed “The Devil is in the Details” which is a performance that has a Cruella de Vil theme to it.
“For the WGI competition, we got seventh for finals, which was a place higher than the day before at prelims,” Ruby Hall (10) said.
With a sport like color guard, it really takes the whole team coming together as one to perfect their routines. Having different people that share the same passion as you can be very rewarding and exciting.
“My favorite part about being in color guard is getting to interact with so many people that enjoy the sport as much as I do. Getting to share that passion with everyone on the floor and getting to learn new things and getting to really connect with people there that enjoy the sport as much as I do. It really makes me so happy being in rehearsals, practice, and competitions and getting to see that joy in multiple organizations,” Ava Trujillo (12) said.
Ruby Hall enjoyed her part in the “The Devil is in the Details” routine. She expressed her favorite part of the whole performance.
“My favorite part (of the routine) is the flag feature, and I myself have a little baby solo where I laugh at the audience, so those are my favorite parts,” Hall (10) said.
Behind all of the amazing performances, lots of hours are spent practicing and putting everything they have into the routine. Practice for a performance such as this one took a lot of time.
“We started practicing in mid-December, somewhere after marching season. But we do re-use all the choreography that we have from the marching season inside of our current show, just so it’s easier and make sure we have a clean show going into any competitions and from then on we usually change it or add on to something,” Trujillo (12) said.
Varsity Winter Color Guard and JV Color Guard still have competitions coming up during the last few months of the school year. Everyone should go out and support our Wylie High Color Guard.
