Friendswood High School brought home a second consecutive Texas Color Guard Circuit State Championship following an inspired performance at Texas State University on March 27, 2010.
More than 100 high school groups competed.
The Varsity team competed in the Open Class division, the highest competitive level for Color Guard in Texas. |

The Friendswood Junior High Guard took top honors as well placing first in the Cadet (Junior High Division). This is their second State Championship in the past three years.
The Junior High is FISD’s entry-level program, giving the students a preview of Color Guard, and a chance to compete at an entry-level position before joining the high school program.
The Friendswood JV Guard placed fourth at State as well. Competing against only High School Varsity units they moved up two spots from their seeding and missed medaling by one point.
“The Color Guard program at Friendswood High school is growing and succeeding by leaps and bounds. Many thanks to the Mustang Band Boosters for their continued support. Thanks also goes out for the support of FISD staff and administration, Bales Intermediate School for their continued support and allowing the Guards to use their facility for their home rehearsal site, and last, but not least, the many parents who have supported them through the years,” Band Director Greg Dick said.
