Colorguard Director of the Year

"From his positive attitude, to focusing on setting a strong foundation in flag, sabre, and rifle, and more than anything making sure each student feels successful, each student on our guard truly feels they are part of one unified team. On the back side of things, Joshua is always so incredibly prepared, looking forward, always willing to help, and truly an amazing director."

Percussion Director of the Year

"He is always giving it his all especially through the closures of the pandemic to make us successful and overall learn valuable life lessons, not just music. He puts in hours of his own time to create and impact a change in his music programs and lives of his students. He has helped us drastically improve our music skills by simply being patient with us. He understands that we are kids and makes it fun for us to learn music and makes us feel like family not just a student or a performer. He puts in his sweat and tears to see us succeed on and off the show floor and makes us feel important. He is a true example of a great director."

Volunteer of the Year

"He pushes equipment, carries flag bags, builds props, drives a van of teenagers, designs our t-shirts, loans his classroom for club meetings, videotapes performances, takes pictures, supports fundraisers, and so much more. He helps the Sossaman Guard because he teaches at our school and he loves all Spartans. He just wants to see our activity succeed. He also volunteers with the Higley High School Winter Guard and Oasis Winter Guard, doing anything and everything he can to support each group."
