Welcome to the MBHS Color Guard Site

Welcome to the new website for the McKinney Boyd Color Guard. We hope you like the new design. Please look around the site. You will see many new pages and updated information. Please remember that we are still building the site, so some pages are still being updated. Hope you enjoy it! Hopefully our new design will atract more vistors to our site! If you have any questions or comments, please email me at jmyers@mckinneyisd.net. Please note that our old site is still online and the address for this new site is only temporary. I am currently working on getting our name (boydguard.org) switched over to a new server. In the meantime, when you type in www.boydguard.org, you will be automatically directed to our new site.

Attached you will find the following four documents that you need for the ad sales fundraiser.  I tried to send these Saturday, but I discovered Monday that the documents had to be reformatted in order for Mr. Nunez to use his email database – sorry for the delay.  You may have previous copies of some of these, but here they all are in one place for everyone – in color!

Congratulations to the members of the McKinney Boyd Color Guard for an absolutely wonderful summer band and guard camp. For the past 4 weeks the members of the MBHS Color Guard have been working very hard to learn their 2010 contest show “Enchantment.” The ladies of the guard have learned the entire first half of the show and now are preparing for the first football game of the season. Our first performance will be on Friday, August 27, 2010 at Ron Poe stadium against McKinney North High School. Thank you ladies for such a great start of the season! We are so proud of all of your hard work!
