Mount Pleasant High School Varsity Winter Guard wins Championship in Mansfield.

The Mount Pleasant High School Varsity and JVA Winter Guard teams traveled to the Winter Guard International (WGI) Mansfield Regional at Lake Ridge High School in Mansfield on Saturday, February 18. Thirty-three teams, ranging from 4A-6A, competed in the Scholastic A division. Both the Varsity and JVA competed against each other in the same classification.

After prelims, the Varsity placed 1st out of 11 teams in their round, with JVA placing 3rd out of 11. The top 16 teams, regardless of competition, advanced to finals later that night. After all preliminary rounds, Varsity was ranked 1st overall, with JVA in 9th place, moving them to the finals. 

Both teams had another great showing in the finals. MPHS Varsity won the WGI Mansfield Regional Scholastic A Championship, and JVA took 9th place in finals defeating multiple large 6A Varsity programs from the DFW metroplex area.

All four teams will travel to Longview on February 25 for the North Texas Colorguard contest at Pine Tree High School. The Mount Pleasant High School Colorguard program is under the direction of Cristian Gomez.
