On Sunday March 8, the Union H.S. varsity winter guard was named Class Champion of the Winter Guard International (WGI) Tulsa Regional Championship, an event hosting competing schools from a six-state area. Performing their program entitled “The Ascent”, the group tallied a score of 84.100 in the prelims and a score of 85.094 in the finals, ultimately winning both rounds of competition. 2026 marks Union’s first WGI Regional Championship in ten years. Congrats to the performing students and to Union Guard programs director Kylee Hubbard and her staff. The UHS varsity winter guard’s season continues with competitions during 4 of the next 5 weekends, including the state championship on April 4, and culminating at the WGI World Championship held in Dayton, Ohio, April 9-11.
