What is YOUR Marching History ????

[Anthony Jenners]

As Patrick and I discuss how to use this site, we both think it better that instead of posting the below asked information - add it to your profile like a resume of sorts. In addition to your profile you will see on the left hand side of this main page "the List" of defunct guards - each will have its own profile allowing the CGHS members to add their own history files to your correct guards. Listing your shows, awards, pictures, videos and music.

Please do not post copyrighted materials unless you make them private for you and your own select friends.

At this point, I'm not involved with WGI but still love to go to shows and occasionally write online reviews. Been involved with the activity since 1980 and writing since 1997. My last WGI report was in 2006. Really enjoy the activity. And of course, really proud of my daughter.
