A Showcase Preview with the LSN Winter Guard

Story & Graphic by Reagan Hill – Staff Reporter

 As the LSN Winter Guard team’s competitive season quickly approaches, preparations for their first performance, a showcase this weekend at Blue Springs South High School, are in play.

    “Having a showcase allows you to get a feel for performing in front of a crowd and allowing yourself to play a character. It also allows you to reflect on your performance,” Katrina Huynh, junior, said.

    The showcase provides the team with an opportunity to perform their 2026 program for an audience before going out and competing, removing the competitive stress factors that come with regular competitions.

    “My favorite part about the showcase is watching everyone perform and showing off all their hard work,” Huynh said.

    With high hopes for the rest of the season, the teams hope to use this first performance as an opportunity to prepare and improve their performance quality for the remainder of the competition season.

    “All 3 teams [Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Middle School] will benefit from this and being allowed to have a chance to perform in front of judges and crowd will make us better performers in the long run,” Huynh said.

    This early-season opportunity will present a great foundation for the LSN Winter Guard teams as they continue to improve throughout the season.
