Meet Layla Galligan:
Color Guard Team Captain
by Colin King
You don't need patriotism to wave flags during football games. This November's Student Spotlight, senior, and color guard team captain, Layla Galligan, proves that right! Galligan and her co-captain, Grace Stevens, lead their team’s performance during the halftime show at the Homecoming Game.
Q: Do you enjoy color guard?
A: "I do enjoy color guard a lot, it's one of my favorite things to do."
Q: How long have you been on the color guard team?
A: "I've been on the color guard team since my sophomore year, and became captain this year with my other teammate, Grace Stevens."
Q: Why color guard?
A: "I chose color guard because its a way to push myself physically and mentally. I was skeptical of doing it at first, but was told by my captain that I had a natural talent. Doing color guard has given me so many new friends who I appreciate so much and always will."
Q: What is your craziest accomplishment on the color guard team?
A: "My craziest accomplishment is probably becoming captain for my senior year. I had a few doubts in my performance in my prior years, but with more practice I got better at what I was doing and eventually was told that they want me as one of the captains."
Q: Are you proud of the performance of your team at the homecoming game?
A: "I'm very proud of our performance! Adding the middle schoolers into color guard was a bit of a challenge keeping attention on a lot more teammates, but they really pulled through and learned quickly. I've met so many new and amazing people because of it. We've all come a long way and I'm so proud on how far everyone on the team has come."
