DGN Winter Guard - 1st Place at Steperettes Contest (Naperville North)

After a nearly two year hiatus from in-person competitions, the DGN Winter Guard came back stronger than ever this weekend.  They have been working hard to make up for lost time, and it paid off.  The Winter Guard finished in first place with an impressive score of 56.49 at the Steperettes contest hosted at Naperville North High School on Sunday!  The team is feeling rejuvenated and excited to have the opportunity to experience in person competitions again.
