A huge congratulations is in order to the Union High School Varsity Winter Guard, winning their 2023 State Championship! The Winter Guard & Percussion of Oklahoma (WGPO ) competitive circuit held its annual championship event on Saturday, April 1 at Yukon (OK) High School, presenting nearly 70 competing units.
With a stunningly technical and beautiful final performance, Union Varsity edged-out its next closest competitor by just one one-hundredth (.01) of a point. Furthermore, Union Varsity’s score was the highest among all competitors from 7 different classifications. 2023 marks the first time in many years that Union Varsity has won a state championship, and for this the entire Union Bands family & Redhawks community is ecstatic and proud! Congrats to the students, their lead director Kylee Hubbard, the teaching staff, and volunteers on a memorable performance and season.
Kudos also to the Union JV Guard, placing 7th in their classification. Comprised almost entirely of 8th Graders, this ensemble bested 13 other competitors, 10 of these being varsity-level units. The JV performers’ growth in skill & artistry in the course of this season has been remarkable.
