Lehman High School’s Winter Guard placed second at the WGI San Antonio Regional in the prelims round, winning the General Effect Caption (less than a point behind World championship Finalist San Antonio Reagan HS), coming out fifth of 29 overall in Scholastic A Prelims, then placing 6th of the 15 Finalists. Director Johnnie Green said, “It was the highest placement in history for the program leaping past a number of world championship finalists.”
For the experience of performing at the national level, the Lobo JV competed in a higher division than normal. The JV team hit a new record score at a Regional.
The Lobos host the WGI Austin Regional this weekend, the seventh consecutive year to do so. The event’s growth has necessitated a “two site” contest, with the Scholastic A Prelims being held at Hays High School. Green said, “It’s one of the largest and most competitive Prelims in the country with the contest becoming known as the ‘Hunger Games’ of Scholastic A! If you reach the top three here, a team can probably win at the World championship.”
