James Logan High School Color Guard 2010 The James Logan High School Color Guard competed in the 2010 Winter Guard International World Championships in Dayton, Ohio this weekend and reclaimed their title as Scholastic World Champions. They swept all captions and took the top prize with their program, “Undercover” under the direction of Mark Metzger.
James Logan High School World Guard has dominated the Winter Guard International World Championships with ten consecutive years as Scholastic World Champions from 1998 - 2007. In 2008, they opted not to compete; instead, they traveled to Beijing, China as part of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Orchestra. In 2009, they returned to Dayton with a Silver Medal finish. Over the weekend, they regained their well deserved Gold Medal standing.
The competition was a 3-day event, from April 8 – April 10, 2010. The quarter finals were held in The Nutter Center. The Logan World Guard placed 2nd to Carmel High School, scoring 94.7 and 94.8 respectively.
The semi-finals were held at the University of Dayton Arena. Logan pulled from the pack scoring 96.55; Carmel High School scored 95.90 and Avon High School (defending 2009 Champions) scored 94.80.
As Logan World entered the University of Dayton’s Arena on Finals day, the loud reception of the audience was deafening as Logan entered the floor to perform their program one last time. The crowd was on their feet after Logan’s final performance. It was an amazing experience for the students, parents and staff to watch Logan’s comeback scoring 97.25 taking the Gold home to California!
