Just before the first performance of the night, all members of Color Guard, including the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Meadows teams sit on the bleachers in the Performance Gym as they pose for a photo. Senior Audrey Coward, who is on the Varsity team, said one piece of advice she'd give to her freshman self in Color Guard was to keep going. "I told this to all the incoming freshmen as well, to not give up, to be confident, to do the best that you can do. Just always try. Don't give up. Just keep going. Keep that self confidence," Coward said. "So yeah, just keep doing what you love, because this is a sport I love and I'm glad that I kept going, and I would say that to everybody else. To keep going."
