Upcoming - MVHS Indoor Home Show - AIA Color Guard/Percussion/Winds Competition - Thank you to everyone who has signed up!


We will be hosting our 10th AIA Indoor Guard & Percussion Competition on Saturday, February 17th @ Mount Vernon High School Field House. This is a wonderful opportunity for our own Winter Color Guard unit to show everyone their hard work. This event is also very important for our program and school, and with that comes the expectation that the better our show operates, the greater our profits.


We have 70 teams coming to compete, which means we need volunteers for almost 400 positions during 9 shifts and several work stations. We are inviting ALL students and 1 parent/guardian to volunteer and assist with this event.



Do you enjoy cooking and/or baking? Not able to volunteer the day of the competition? Volunteering with your talents can assist us greatly.

The MVHS Winter Color Guard Team thank you in advance for any amount of donations. All proceeds to benefit the team to attend Championship in April. With your help, we can make the Bake Sale a great success!
