It is our deepest pleasure to announce the 2020 MCGC scholarship winners! Please see this list for all scholarship winners. While we wish we could celebrate the accomplishments of each of these winners in person, we hope you will reach out and congratulate them yourselves on this well-deserved achievement!
Sincerely,
The MCGC Board of Directors and MCGC Scholarship Committee
To the performing members, directors, staff, volunteers and fans of the Michigan Color Guard Circuit,
MCGC will suspend all remaining events for the 2020 competitive season. Following recommendations from the State of Michigan and realizing the fast changing and evolving concerns of the coronavirus, the Board of Directors voted for the health and safety of all who would attend or perform.
We appreciate and would prefer to celebrate every unit's accomplishments during our championships ceremonies and finish our competitive season. We are not only board members; we are directors, instructors, parents and fans who love the activity. This was not an easy decision to make and realize the impact it has on many. We grieve with you all.
Team Michigan, we want to wish you all health and comfort during this time. We look forward to seeing you again in 2021.
