Both Medina JV and Varsity Winterguards travelled to Liverpool, near Syracuse, to compete in a Mid-York Color Guard Circuit competition on Saturday.

The Mid-York Circuit is comprised of winterguard programs from Central and Eastern New York, while the North East Color Guard Circuit encompasses those in Western New York.  The trip gave the Medina guards the chance to experience other winterguard programs and thus expand their knowledge and awareness of the artform across the state.

There were 34 guards in a class structure that was somewhat different from those in the NECGC. Medina JV guard remained in the Cadet class and competed against Laurens JV, East Syracuse Minoa JV, Cicero North Syracuse JV2, the Black Knights JV (Rome, NY), and Central Square JV.  Scores ranged from 75.85 for Laurens to Medina’s 65.05.

The SA (Scholastic A) class was divided into three levels with the Medina Varsity competing in the SA2 class against the Laurens Jaguars, Baldwinsville Varsity, East Syracuse Minoa Varsity, and Cicero North Syracuse JV1. Scores ranged from a high of 88.20 for Laurens to 71.22 for Medina.

Medina is gearing up for the North East Color Guard Circuit championships on April 6 at Gates Chili High School.
