Miamisburg Scholastic World Guard
2008 marked Miamisburg High School's 25th appearance a the WGI World Championships. Few programs (in any class) can match Miamisburg for its continuous high level of success over so many years. For the 2008 season, this highly recognized, iconic WGI unit presented a program entitled "Tintinnabulation" which is defined as the sound of a bell ringing: the distinctive ring of the church bell. The guard returned to its classical roots and presented the music of Tchaikovsky's ever familiar 1812 Overture which premiered in 1882 at the consecration of a church in Moscow.
Miamisburg was pleased to have Ed Devlin and Fred Marier on the design front with Jim Olson and his technical staff. Ed and Fred are most recognizable with their work at Blessed Sacrament, which along with Miamisburg, is also on of WGI's oldest and most successful groups. Director Jim Olson had this to say, "The addition of Ed and Fred have been a true breath of fresh air for the Miamisburg program."
