From the local to the national stage, Frisco ISD’s winter guards gave it their all and collected a pile of awards in the process.
his spring, winter guards from all 12 Frisco ISD high schools traveled across North Texas — and even outside the state — to share the grace, power and precision of their competition shows, earning top honors and awards along the way.
In the fall, these groups perform as color guards with marching bands — using flags, sabres and other equipment in a way that blends seamlessly with and enhances the band’s performance. In the winter, they transition to winter guards and prepare for an indoor competition season all their own. From JV to varsity groups, these student performers captivated judges with athletic, artistic shows at competitions.
“Frisco ISD’s winter guard teams are exceptional, not only in their performances but in the dedication, discipline and creativity they demonstrate every day,” said Chris Cansler, assistant director of fine arts. “Their success this season is a direct reflection of the high-quality education and strong support they receive across our district. We couldn’t be more proud of what they’ve accomplished.”
Congrats to winter guard students and directors!
