Director of Student Services Amy Parmentier talks to senior Delaney Brooks, freshman Kailah Rose, junior Carmen Thomason, senior Emily Raimist and junior Reagan Shin. They are the student panelists who will answer questions regarding their experiences and give advice for the rising freshmen. “We always have a student panel,” Parmentier said. “I think parents like it the best because it's a mix of grade levels, and the students talk about what they had wished they had known as ninth graders and any recommendations they have to help their student have a successful experience at CHS.”

During warmup on Sep. 19, senior captain Mars Barry, senior Stephanie Nicholson, senior Amelia Maurer and junior Hee Theng Chong practice their sautés, which are leaps where the front leg is used to land and the back leg is extended. According to Drum Corps International, practicing dance makes guard members’ skill on equipment even higher because they can move their bodies in an enhanced way. “The hardest part about guard, for me, has always been the dancing,” Barry said. “It’s not really something I’m good at, but I get over it by doing it a bunch and practicing.”
