Dear Eagle Regiment Families,
Happy Easter!
We hope you’re all enjoying a wonderful holiday filled with joy, rest, and time with loved ones. As we celebrate, we are also incredibly excited to send off our talented colorguard to World Championships this week! Their hard work, dedication, and passion have truly paid off, and we couldn’t be more proud.
We would also like to congratulate our World Guard on their outstanding performance at the SFWGA Championships at the Wasco Center and taking home the silver medal! Also our Indoor percussion performance at FFCC Championships yesterday! Thank you to all who came out to our farewell performance to celebrate our students and all the hard work they have put in this season.
Next week, we look forward to cheering on our percussion as they head to their championships. It’s such an exciting time for our program, and we are grateful for the continued support from our amazing families.
Thank you for everything you do—let’s go Eagle Regiment!
Please be sure to read ALL of the Announcements and Schedules:
Congratulations to the MSD World Guard on your incredible achievement of earning the silver medal at the SFWGA Championships! Your hard work, dedication, and passion truly showed in your performance, and you represented your program with excellence and pride. This accomplishment is a testament to the countless hours of practice and commitment you’ve put in all season. We are so proud of everything you’ve achieved and can’t wait to see what you do next!
Dayton Itinerary
The Stoneman Douglas World Guard will be holding a mandatory pre-trip meeting on Tuesday, April 7 at 3:00 PM in Mr. Broadbent’s room. All students are required to attend, and parents are welcome to join us.
During the meeting, we will be distributing Dayton apparel, reviewing the trip itinerary and expectations, and answering any questions you may have. We anticipate the meeting will last approximately one to one and a half hours.
Parents, if you would like to watch the Stoneman Douglas World Guard perform at Championships, all performances will be streamed live on FloMarching. You can purchase a subscription directly through their website, and a monthly option is available if you only plan to watch during this event. Once subscribed, you’ll be able to watch live performances as well as replays if needed. We’re excited for you to be able to support the team from home—your encouragement means so much to our performers!
As we prepare for our upcoming trip to the WGI World Championships in Dayton, we are collecting Costco gift cards to help cover last-minute supplies and essentials for the team during our stay.
There is a Costco Wholesale location near Dayton, which makes this an incredibly helpful and convenient resource for us while on the road.
If you are able to donate a Costco gift card in any amount, it would be greatly appreciated and directly support our students throughout the trip.
Thank you for your continued support of the Stoneman Douglas Color Guard!
The Eagle Regiment Is Going to Rome!
