Medina’s next competitions are March 7th in Greece,  March 14th in Medina and on March 28th the Championships at Gates Chili.

It’s amazing to watch these students perform not just the choreography but their ability  to maneuver  various pieces  of equipment like flags, sabres and other props while keeping time with the music.

You can see these guards in action by coming to the Medina home show on March 14th.
