JCS Meridian Winter Guard- Rollin' Old School

JCS Meridian Proudly presents its 2023 production: Rollin' Old School: The Argyle Race! Taking its idea from a famous bike race that originated in England, this year's show explores the nostalgia of this race as we recreate an old fashion bike race that would have taken place 100 years ago on the winterguard floor. Patterns of argyle, on the uniforms, prop pieces and within the patterns of the flags showcase this old look. Our floor design will be transformed into old cobblestone streets and old fashion banners similar to this period. We will be spinning and dancing and maybe even a little bike riding during the show. JCS- Meridian is thrilled to be a part of WGI’s virtual and in person season again this year. Meridian consists currently of members between 6th and 11th grades. Meridian was awarded as silver Medalists in 2022 season at the Tristate Marching Arts Circuit Championships as well as 2nd Place at the WGI Virtual Finals in 2022, both in Independent Regional A. This year, Meridian Winterguard had the opportunity to appear at its first WGI in person Regional competing at the Knoxville regional, making finals and being awarded class champion at this regional in Independent Regional A. JCS- Meridian is under the direction of Adam Miller and Angela Miller, who also co-direct the Red Oak Elementary winter guard. This video is from a contest earlier in the season at the Lafayette Show at a local tristate contest.

Couch to Corps Workout - Week 6 | Marching Health

Welcome to the Couch to Corps Workout Series on FloMarching! Congratulations on taking a big step towards marching your drum corps season. Drum corps is one of the most physically demanding activities a performer can pursue. This requires purposeful preparation to make sure you are healthy, fit, and at your best this summer. The Couch to Corps Workout is designed to prepare you to go from being a couch potato to looking like a drum corps veteran. Know that you may be sore after working out, and that's okay! The best uses of this workout are to prepare you for getting a contract at your next drum corps camp. We do not recommend, though, that you use this as a last-ditch effort to get in shape before spring training. This is a body-weight program and requires no equipment. We encourage you to begin some form of resistance training after completing this program and before spring training begins. The corps we work with begin this program in January, then transition to our "Ultimate Drum Corps Workout" for the remaining months before move-ins. The Couch to Corps Workout is designed to be completed three days a week with one or two days of rest between each workout. The workouts are considered "total body," meaning you will work most major muscle groups required for marching each time you work out. If there are muscle groups you feel you need to target more of (biceps, for example) by all means, add your favorite exercises to these workouts. Thank you for investing in yourself by doing these workouts. Health and fitness are a journey. Be patient with yourself, bring a friend to work out with you, and have fun!
