DGN Color Guard Soloists Awarded Gold!


Congratulations to all five winter guard soloists who participated in the Midwest Color Guard Circuit's virtual solo contests throughout the season:  


Rachel Bender

Abby Colucci

Cailee McGinnis

Alyssa Miller

Amanda Ragnini


Each soloist wrote the choreography to their own solo and put in countless extra hours of practice time to prepare for each virtual event.  


An extra special congratulations goes out to all three of the soloists who submitted for the finals competition in May!  The MWCGC Virtual Awards Ceremony took place on May 22nd, and all three DGN entrants for the finals competition (Rachel Bender, Alyssa Miller, and Amanda Ragnini), were awarded with the gold!  


In addition to these spectacular ratings, we are proud to announce that graduating senior, Rachel Bender, was further recognized as the recipient of the Midwest Color Guard Circuit scholarship! Congrats to all!
