Freshmen Taylor Sheridan and Madison Turnbeaugh have become closer friends this year, because of their sisters’, seniors Sidney Sheridan and Emily Turnbeaugh.

“We hang out a lot because of our sisters, we’re always together,” Madison said. “We can depend on each other and trust each other.”

During their freshmen year, Emily and Sidney worked together in color guard and winter guard, spending long practices and competition weekends together which allowed them to rekindle a friendship that had been around since second grade.

“We were in guard together, and our freshman year we didn’t really talk to anyone else so we became really close,” Emily said.

Since their families always come to the competitions which more often than not, last for most of the day, Taylor and Madison will have someone to occupy their time.

“They’re always with each other during guard competitions anyway so it just makes this less awkward,” Sidney said.

In addition to spending time together at competitions, Emily and Sidney encourage their sisters to spend more time together to help their friendship grow.

“I want to make them spend a lot of time together so I can make them become better friends,” Emily said.
