The Colorguard took first in the 1A division and outscored all 21 other Colorguards at the competition.
The Percussion section also took first in the 1A Division on the way to a Percussion Sweepstakes Award.
This year’s field show is titled “Once Upon a Star,” and is under the direction of Michael Kiyoi and conducted by Drum Major Niko Victoria.
The San Marcos members will be chasing their fifth SCSBOA Championship in eight years.
