The Lafayette High School Winter Color Guards concluded their competitive season on March 17, 2008 at the Louisiana Color Guard Circuit Championships in Thibodeaux, LA. All three teams (Newbies, Jr. Varsity, and Varsity) received first place honors in their classes. This was the first time in the history of the activity that one school has captured three State Championships in 5 years for the program! Also, both the Varsity and Jr. Varsity teams were finalist at the WGI Houston, TX and Pensacola, FL Regionals.

Try-out dates for the 2008 Fall Line will be April 14th-18th in the LHS Girl's Gym from 4:30pm-6:30pm.

Our stay in New York was awesome! Unfortunately the hotel did not provide free wireless internet access so I posted only to my blog (landrypm.blogspot.com) via my cell phone. Youi can go over there if you would like to read those posts.

We are now on the road to Washington, D.C. I am posting this from the bus using Mr. Thibodeaux's laptop with his cellular internet card. Thanks Mr. Butch!

During the trip to New York we will be making an effort to post updates here. So check in daily for progress reports.

Patrick Landry will also be posting on his blog. You can see Patrick's blog at landrypm.blogspot.com. This is a first for Patrick and for the band's web site but we are hoping it will work out well.
