The program

About the Guardians

Two drill teams at Glenn High School in Leander, Texas. The Guardians are the varsity line, the Angels are the junior varsity line, and together they are the wing family.

The Guardians and Angels perform at home football games, compete through the winter and spring, and close the year with the spring show. The work behind those performances is most of the year, and most of it happens before school.

A drill team is not only a dance team. It is a line. Every dancer holds the same height, the same angle, and the same count as the dancer beside her. That is the discipline the program is built on, and it is why a routine that lasts two minutes takes months.
