Color Guard in Full Swing


Honor Guard is going great for SC-932's Flying Aces, as they keeping getting requested for more and more events. The Color Guard have performed at all the home games for the Byrnes Rebels football team, including the ones against Hilcrest and J.L. Mann. We also have the upcoming pleasure to perform at the Army Band's performance in the F.A.C. and are expecting even more exciting things like this to come.


Back From The Windy City!









October 6th, 2010 was an ordinary day for most BHS and BFA students, but for 48 select JROTC cadets it was the first day of an experience of a lifetime. They were heading out on a CIA trip to Chicago, Illinois.
With C/Col. Asheley Cross as the troop commander for the trip, everything was always in order and heads were always counted. Also, the 13 hour drive (including time change) was the perfect opportunity for upperclassmen and lowerclassmen to meet each other and make new friendships.

During this five day trip, the instructors planned several different activities for the cadets to enjoy. These activities included a tour of Depaul University, a personal tour of the Field Museum, a view from the Skydeck, a night on Navy Pier, a graduation ceremony at the Naval Base, an elegant dinner cruise, and finally a full day at Six Flags

Sunday we finally headed home from a fun, yet exhausting trip. Luckily everyone was able to sleep on the way home and those who didn't were very considerate of the ones who were. Also, even with exhaustion present every night the rooms were still kept tidy. Also, we had no problems with people breaking curfew. This was a very succesful trip, but we expect an even better one next semester.By C/Maj. Evalynn Barbare

Spartanburg International Festival





On October 2, 2010, SC-932 had the chance for 17 cadets, divided into morning and evening shifts to assist with the annual Spartanburg International Festival. This festival is a one day event celebrating all the different countries represented in the local area. Our cadets got the opportunity to help with the morning set-up and the evening clean-up as well helping with different booths throughout the day. Our cadets got to meet all kinds of people and learn about their culture through games, food, dance, crafts, clothing, and music. We even had some students who represented other countries/nationalities in the Parade of Nations. All the cadets had a blast and really loved learning so much about all the parts of the world that were represented in the Spartanburg area.
