The Furlough Middle School Cadet Winterguard, under the direction of Nathan Ascano, ended their inaugural season with a silver medal win at the North Texas Colorguard Circuit at Mansfield High School on Saturday, March 9. The Cadet Winterguard, which is composed of seventh and eighth grade students, is in its first year of operation, making it TISD’s first guard program at the middle school level.
“To do so well at a competition season for the first time speaks volumes of the students and Mr. Ascano,” John Young, TISD Director of Bands and Fine Arts said. “The established programs present at the event demanded a very high-performance level; the Cadet Guard did exactly that."
The FMS Cadet Winterguard competed against 12 other units, including groups from Keller ISD, Southlake Carrol ISD, and Mansfield ISD.
“Many of the programs we competed against have been in existence for several seasons,” Nathan Ascano, Colorguard Director shared. “To medal in our inaugural year sets the bar extremely high for future years.”
The members of the FMS Cadet Winterguard include: Jade Self, Jonathan Stanley, Cheyenne Calder, Natalie Caldwell, Crystal Campa, Tiffany Harris, Jessica Huerta , Da’Ron Phillips, Gabriela Rangel, Kaylee Roseberry, Princess Saballero, Rhianna Soto, Michelle Valle, Jayden Williamson, Adam Zapote, and Colorguard Director, Nathan Ascano.
Congratulations to this group of dedicated individuals on their incredible success this season!
