Brentwood honors winter color guard and spring athletes; Green Machine to march in Washington
Summary
The board recognized the winter color guard’s championship and dozens of student-athletes, and announced the Green Machine band will participate in the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C., including televised coverage and a district livestream.
The Brentwood Union Free School District Board of Education used its May 20 meeting to recognize student achievements across performing arts and athletics and to publicize upcoming events.
Board members applauded the Brentwood High winter color guard, who on April 19 earned first place in the Scholastic A3 division at the Mid Atlantic Indoor Network Championships with a recorded score of 85.98. The board thanked coaches and alumni who returned to mentor students, naming Angel Perez, Alyssa Sidler, director Nick Ashley and coaches Sierra Gonzalez, Caitlin Dix, Cassandra Sanchez and David Chavez.
The board also presented certificates to dozens of spring-sport honorees and named Tyler Serra as Scholar‑Athlete of the Year and Chris Peralta as Outstanding Athlete of the Year.
Student liaison Jalene Guevara highlighted senior‑year plans for the Class of 2026, including a single combined graduation ceremony with a two‑ticket limit per student and a livestream for families. Guevara said the college office is completing senior surveys to track students’ post‑graduation plans.
Board members announced that the Green Machine band was selected to participate in the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C., and that the students’ trip will include visits to commemorative sites in the capital. A district staff member (Lisa) told the board the band was chosen as one of only two school bands slated for live television coverage; the district linked a livestream on ParentSquare and in districtwide email.
The board encouraged families to watch the live stream and congratulated the students and staff who will travel to Washington.
