The D.C.H.S. Winter Guard delivered a stellar performance at the Southeastern Color Guard Circuit Championships.
“This last performance was by far their best run ever, and they were very impressive,” Winter Guard Instructor Shannon Johns said. “I am so proud of each one of them. Each performer brings a uniqueness that made the show very entertaining. They are such good kids and have worked very hard this season.”
“I am so proud of our Winter Guard students and overall team,” Band Director Don Whitt said. “They’ve each done an outstanding job this season. I really admire their hard work and dedication as they performed a very challenging yet entertaining show. In my opinion our group is always entertaining and they always try to take it to the next level. Great job to our D.C.H.S. Fighting Tiger Winter Guard, great job Shannon Johns, instructor, Emily Wallace and to our amazing parents that travel each weekend to these competitions to help. We couldn’t do it without your hard work.”

The 11 students performing from DCHS were Olivia Diego (captain), Ashton McClain (captain), Jacklyn Kleparek, Yoana Hernandez, BJ Mosley, Bairon Hernandez, Kara Inglis, Crissy White, Gracelynn Basinger, Cameron Smith, and Issac Pinegar.
