Winter Guard in midst of 2015 season

The Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School Winter Guard is in the middle of its 2015 competition season.

Thanks to Lisa Dunlap, we have these photos from their performance on March 14 at Matawan High School.

There are 15 girls participating in the Guard this season, all of whom were also in the Marching Band Color Guard during the fall.

The show is called "Winter Is Coming," performed to music by Ding Wei. Upcoming competitions are on March 28 in Somerville and April 11 at Deptford, followed by the championships on April 25 at South Brunswick.

"We are incredibly excited about this season," Guard director Jackie Tumolo said last month. "After the successful marching band season, we were motivated to choose a show that would really challenge the members and bring the program to the next level. The designer, Aaron Palmer, has created a unique piece of art and we are looking forward to see where the kids take it!"

High school and middle school musicians from the Scotch Plains-Fanwood schools provided much of the entertainment at Fanwood's fifth annual St. Patrick's celebration on March 7.

The event raised money for the SPF Music Boosters to help promote excellence in the school district's music programs.

The student groups that performed were the Moonglowers, SPF Jazz and Sensations from the high school and the Terrill Jazz and Park Jazz bands from the middle schools.

Have a look at these photos from TAPintoScotchPlainsFanwood's coverage of the event.
