Seven championships, seven corps. All-Girl Class was its own class, not a size tier, and it ran alongside Class A until 1982.

St. Ignatius won the first three. Les Chatelaines took three of the last four, then won Class A in 1983 after the class ended and its corps move

The gorgon Medusa is gone, but stories like hers don’t die so easily. 🐍

After my year long retirement, I’ve returned to continue my guard journey as a performer‼️ While I’ve been gone I have focused on my love of show design and creating well crafted shows. I’ve written and designed 2 winterguard and fall shows which have elevated the status of the respective programs. My story never ended, but continued in a new form. Just as the statues of Medusa awaited their awakening, I too have awaited mine.

Thank you Apiary for continuing my story, and thank you to my fellow statues for supporting my passion. I can’t wait to see what awaits us next 🐝
