While Friday Night Lights<\/em> often centers on the football team, many other groups help make the magic happen. Without the color guard and marching band, the school\u2019s spirit would not be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Color guard is a competitive activity that combines flags, prop weapons and dance. The season runs year-round, with multiple weekly practices and all-day competitions on Saturdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior and assistant captain Georgia McElwain has been involved in color guard since her freshman year. She said she was initially drawn to the program as a positive environment where she could meet new people and build friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing both a senior and assistant captain has made me appreciate this season more than I ever have before, knowing it\u2019s my last year spinning with all of my best friends,\u201d McElwain said. \u201cBeing able to help my underclassmen teammates with various techniques has not only allowed me to help my team blossom, but I\u2019ve also discovered things in my own technique to work on as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McElwain described the team dynamic as diverse, with members bringing different personalities and skill sets to the group. To her, however, the team feels like family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo me, color guard is like a second family \u2014 an extremely judgment-free zone,\u201d McElwain said. \u201cI\u2019ve made so many friends and relationships that I\u2019ll cherish forever. Both the activity and the people have helped me find my true self and allowed me to be my authentic self.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical three-hour color guard practice includes three main components: stretching and dance, flag warmups and tosses, and weapon line practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McElwain said her favorite competition was Psycho during the 2023-24 indoor season, which was based on the Alfred Hitchcock film. The team experimented with more aggressive facial expressions and techniques, earning a new high score in Mt. Lebanon\u2019s winter guard history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For younger students considering joining color guard, McElwain encourages them to take the leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy advice for someone thinking about joining the guard is to really go for it,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s no harm in trying something new, even if it\u2019s outside your comfort zone. Realistically, the only thing that can come out of this activity is something extremely positive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of Friday Night Lights<\/em>, trumpets, saxophones, drums and more energize the crowd from the first down to the final whistle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior percussionist Anika Schmid joined the marching band in eighth grade after being inspired by her older brother, who played in the front ensemble. Watching him perform showed her how much he enjoyed the activity and helped bring them closer together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That year\u2019s competitive show, Kittyhawk, featured multiple voiceovers, which Schmid was responsible for triggering during performances, a role she took on with help from her brother and her mother\u2019s involvement on the band board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since her freshman year, Schmid said her role in percussion has evolved significantly, as she grew from a quiet and nervous eighth-grader into a front ensemble leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my eighth-grade year, I spent a lot of the season quietly following my brother around,\u201d Schmid said. \u201cThe more experience I gained, the more I was able to help others in my section. This year, I ended up being one of the front ensemble section leaders, which allowed me to help make sure things ran smoothly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schmid believes the marching band enhances football games by energizing the crowd and encouraging more people to attend. One of her favorite traditions is when the drumline plays a cadence in front of the student section during games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also said there is a common misconception about marching band \u2014 that people don\u2019t always realize how physically demanding it is. According to Schmid, marching band is about 75% movement and 25% playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat isn\u2019t seen is how much equipment we have to move before and after shows,\u201d Schmid said. \u201cI\u2019ve spent a lot of time lifting marimbas onto trucks and moving equipment up and down hills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Schmid, one of the most rewarding experiences was performing at a home competition dedicated solely to the marching band, as well as the friendships she has built along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels so nice to play for a crowd that\u2019s there just for the marching band,\u201d she said. \u201cSome close friends of mine who had graduated but were in marching band with me came back to support me. Seeing them in the front row right before I played was one of my favorite memories of the season.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
