The Jonathan Law winter guard pulled out the moves and made a “magical” performance at their recent home competition.

On Saturday, February 18, the Law winter guard hosted their home competition. The theme of this year’s competition was “Just 1 Wish.”

The Law winter guard was dressed as genies, which coordinated with the theme.  

“I wanted to pull out character and the fun in the music, considering it was the second competition of the season,” director Pam Rossman said.

Before performing, each of the competing schools must go through hair and makeup, costume changes, body warm-ups, and equipment warm-ups.

“Performing feels like it goes by fast,” sophomore Katie Garlock said.

Law had a strong routine full of tosses, twists, turns, and gymnast-like moves. Freshman Karina Jakab caught the attention of the crowd, through her large and intricate tosses.

The other schools in the competition performed well and had some interesting costumes.

“It was a great show and I had fun,” senior Sarah Dempsey said. “But it was also kind of sad.”

For most of the girls, this was not their last home performance. However, it was for their senior members of the group.

“I think next year without the seniors will be different and sad,” said sophomore Jess Scherback. “We all love them and will miss them being in the competitions.”

There were over 10 groups that performed at the competition. The last performance took place at 8:00 p.m. and awards soon followed.

“We got our scores and helped at cleanup,” Garlock said.

Through their efforts and strong performance, the group has shown a great bond, which comes in handy for a great, future routines.

“We all have fun with the shows and we work hard,” freshman Angelena Plona said. “We are all like a family and I am glad to be able to perform with them.”

The winter guard is still continuing their season and has high goals for their future competitions.
