Congratulations Marshall Guard

The Marshall Guard has been off to a wonderful start this season presenting their show "The Invention You Made Me" featuring the song "What Could Have Been," from the Arcane League of Legends soundtrack.


This past weekend, the guard took home a 3rd place trophy at the Atlantic Indoor Association (AIA) Woodgrove HS competition! Additionally, on February 8th, the team made school history as the first-ever Marshall Guard to compete as a National A Class Finalist at the Winter Guard International (WGI) Richmond Regional. In addition to the team's competitive successes so far, we are also pleased to announce the Marshall Band's sponsorship of our sister team, the Kilmer MS Winterguard, who debuted just this past weekend to high praise! The high school team has been enjoying bonding with the middle school performers and are looking forward to welcoming them all to Marshall next year.


Members of the Marshall Community are invited to join us for our annual

Friends and Family Show on Thursday, March 27th at 7:00 pm
