Important Notice to Directors In order to give the Mechanicsburg World Guard an opportunity to perform their entire show and more importantly for safety reasons for participating units, we plan to empty the back bleachers and move all participants off the bleachers and over to the sides of the gym, at the end of the Blue Guard group performances and then close the back bleachers. At the conclusion of the World Guard performance the bleachers will be re-opened for participants to re-enter. All guard representatives will need to report to the back hall way for awards. All other participants can go back onto the bleachers for awards. We apologize for any inconvenience to your students and staff, however for the safety of everyone in attendance; we feel this is in everyone s best interest. Thank you in advance for your understanding. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, Nicolle Brougher-Smith or Michelle Wirth.
