A few weeks ago, Wakulla High Schools Winter Guard, lead by their director Brooke Post, went to state with their ensemble show, “Nothing Without a Woman,” where they received the highest possible score of a superior. On top of this, each one of the 14 girls on the team brought a solo to state, with some even bringing multiple solos.
Co-captains Isabel Brown and Sophia Kamal both brought a flag and rifle solo, and for the first time in Wakulla High’s history, head captain Lillian Mitchell brought three solos to state, performing her flag, rifle, and sabre solos respectively. All the captains got superiors on their solos, with the whole team collectively accomplishing 15 out of 17 superiors. The championships took place in Daytona, where teams from across Florida and Georgia all competed with their programs, and Wakulla came out with an accomplishment of 8th place in their division! Lillian Mitchell’s sabre solo earned a 3rd place medal. When asked about it, she said guard is all about the constant improvement of yourself and your abilities.
