Supporting

The Winter Guard

To the Editor;

This past Saturday night, the Newtown Winter Guard hosted their 9th Annual Winter Guard Extravaganza at the high school. Twenty-four guards attended this year’s event.

A show of this size requires a lot of volunteers to have it run smoothly. I would like to thank the band parents who came out to help and support us even though they did not have a child in the guard program. There are 62 members of the Newtown Winter Guard and very few guard parents were unable to volunteer. Thank you to all the guard parents for your help and support, it was great to see the amount of parental involvement in our program. I would particularly like to thank Kayla Koeschel for coming to sing the National Anthem for us and the high school janitorial and security staff for being so accommodating.

Sincerely,

Kathie Kovatch
