Harrison HS Winter Guard to Compete March 20

Harrison High School Winter Guard will compete March 20 in the Southern Association for Performance Arts (SAPA) event at Alpharetta High School. The Harrison performance in the Scholastic A division is scheduled for 4:55 pm.

Tickets to the event are sold out.

Performing their show entitled “A Piece of the Crown,” Harrison’s Winter Guard hopes to continue building on a solid start to the 2021 season. In their first SAPA event at East Coweta High School, Harrison’s Guard finished fourth in the Scholastic A division. They followed the next week with a third-place finish at the SAPA event at River Ridge High School, demonstrating substantial overall scoring improvement and earning first place recognition for equipment analysis.

With a soundtrack arranged by Tommy Allen featuring music by Halsey and from Game of Thrones, “A Piece of the Crown” portrays an evil queen storming the castle for the keys to the kingdom. The 2021 program seeks to show that behind every king, there’s a powerful queen that shouldn’t be underestimated. Harrison Winter Guard is directed by Austin Price, in his first year at Harrison.
