NEWS: Jonathan Law Color Guard Takes Second At Annual Home Show
By Jess Owens – Staff Reporter
Jonathan Law’s Color Guard team is finishing its season strong.
The Color Guard team hosted its annual Home Show at Jonathan Law on March 16 and placed second against many other schools.
The team and its coach are very happy with their placing and are so proud of their hard work and dedication.
“Second place is nothing to frown upon for sure but our team values focus much more on striving for our personal best as a team more than scores or placements,” Color Guard coach Pamela Rossman said. “So we always want to go out each time and give it everything we’ve got.”
The team has been placing first and second all season and the individual growth from each member is showing. As their season comes to an end, everyone’s hard work and dedication paying off.
“We’re feeling very positive for the last couple weeks of our season, we had practice last night so we’re very confident with our performance,” senior captain Olivia Ott said.
Color Guard is a unique blend of competitive performance with athleticism and artistry. It has created an unbreakable bond between the team.
“My favorite part of Color Guard is the fact that I’ve made so many friends because there’s a lot of different types of people on the team,” senior Stephanie Lojko said. “There’s a lot of middle and high schoolers on the team that are all interested in different things and we all still have such a great bond and created a strong family.”
The team is sadly saying goodbye to its seniors but they will always be a part of their family.
“We’re very sad because there are seven seniors and our coach already bawled her eyes out about seven times about us graduating,” senior Jessica Scherback said.
The team has championships on April 1 at 6:45 p.m. They also have their Family and Friends evening which is basically a celebration of the season with one last performance without the pressure of judges or scores.
“We’d love for everyone to come cheer and send off this incredible season with us,” Rossman said.
