DHS
Marching Band’s Baton Twirling Team
This
year has been the strongest one yet for the DHS Colorguard! The Guard consists
of baton twirlers, a rifle squad and the flag team. These three teams are an
integral part of the Douglas Marching Band and performed with the band at the
12-15 parades each year. The groups also prepare a specialized floor show for
the winter and spring concerts as well as competitions on band trips. These
floor shows takes several months to write, produce, choreograph, and practice
to perfection.. The teams practice two nights each week throughout the school
year.
"Boston
Strong" was this year's theme for the majorettes, baton twirlers, and
spring show. Their captain is Kayla
Lightbown. Baton team members are Anelia Marston, Jolane Thibault, Ahlora
Fierro, Katelyn Saucier, Kelsey Gray, Suzie Thibault, Emily Gannon, Morgan
Mooney, Emma Lincoln, Kelly Hayes, Sarah Calkins.
This
year, the Rifles and Flags combined to form the DHS Indoor Guard. An Indoor
Guard is a performing colorguard unit that uses flags, rifles, sabres, and adds
a theatrical element to the floor show. This year's show had a swashbuckling
theme, "Dead Men Tell No Tales". Captains of the Indoor Guard are
Ashley Labonne and Caitlyn Wunsch. . Members are Kylie Blake, Sydney Connor,
Briel Didonato, Stephanie Gagnon, Janey LaFleur, Kelsey LaFleur, Olivia MacInnis, Nicole Murphy Corey
Parkinson, Sophie Thorson.
