Timber Creek High School Color Guard Places Seventh in National Competition against 87 Top Teams in Dayton, Ohio

ORLANDO – Timber Creek High School’s 21-member color guard placed seventh nationally against 87 high school teams in the recent Winter Guard competition in Dayton, Ohio–the “Super Bowl” for high school color guard competition.

Devin Hoey, associate director of the Timber Creek Regiment, located in Avalon Park in East Orlando, said the team – which includes 20 young ladies and one young man – placed second in their semi-final routine and seventh in the Scholastic A Class category comprising the nation’s largest high schools.

“These young people worked very hard to make it to the A Class finals,” Hoey said. “They held fundraisers and car washes throughout the fall semester to earn the money to pay for the trip and they have been practicing almost every day,” he said.

Michael James is designer and choreographer for the Timber Creek High School Regiment, and staff members Stevenson Lumapas, Shannon Jenkinson and Justin Andrade assisted in preparing them along with band directors Rhett Cox and Hoey.
