Keller HS Winterguard Program

The Keller HS Winterguard Program has ended the most successful season to date with two great performances.  The JV guard started in Regional AAA and was promoted to Regional AA and then Regional A where they competed against many other school's varsity programs.  They ended the season with an outstanding performance of “The Yellow Submarine”.

For the first time in school history,  the Varsity Winterguard made Finals at the Austin and Dallas WGI Regionals.  At the NTCA State Championships performance, they earned second place out  18 guards with a record high score!  Their silver medal performance of “Bring Him Home” puts them in the top 5 % of winterguards in the nation.
