            “The year was good,” he said. “Our song was called Confident by Demi Lovato. We took 1st Place in Arlington. 2nd Place in Beresford and Best Color Guard. In Luverne and Chester we also took 2nd Place.

            “This was the first time we had our Color Guard have a silk change in the marching show. I would like to send a big thank you to Tony Sanders, who built a transporter for our flags during the show.

            “The points were really close in Beresford,” he said. “We had a score of 60.4 and Tri-Valley had a score of 60.5! Luverne was another close race.  In Chester, we had to go up against Beresford, so it was tougher for us to compete, but we did very well. I'm very glad about the results of this year. I'm very proud of my students!”
