Colorguard Performs at the Masuk Expo (Video)

The Masuk Colorguard gave performances in the school gym during the Masuk Expo on Tuesday.

Led by team co-captains Lauren Balestrieri and Tess Howard, the Panthers took third place in the Musical Arts Conference Championships in March.

Coach Karyn Knapik said it was their first season after moving up from AA to the more competitive single-A conference.

"They're a great group of girls, very committed and dedicated to the team," Knapik said.

The 14-member team consists of students from grades 7 to 12. In addition to Balestrieri and Howard, Knapik said Masuk will be losing senior, Aviva Doery.

But Knapik said a talented crop of juniors and sophomores should keep the Panthers competitive next season.
