Cathy Barnes-Miller
Hi, I am Cathy Barnes and I am the founder and co-director of the Miami Valley Adaptive Color Guard. I taught for Miamisburg City Schools for 38.5 years. I was the director of the Miamisburg High School World Guard for 26 years. During that time the World Guard achieved Gold medals 3 times and silver and bronze medals many times. I then went on to start the junior high program as well as the elementary program. I was a feature twirler at my school, Sycamore High School in Cincinnati and was Captain of the Miller Blackhawks Twirling Corp. I was a United States Twirling Association Judge for 15 years and have been judging colorguards in band competitions and winterguard competitions for the past 30 years.

Started with ACG in 2018
Hi, I’m Julie, and I’m thrilled to be part of the ACG family. I love these kids – they are AMAZING! I’m a past Miamisburg World guard alum (before tarps were a thing). I was the first alum to teach the Miamisburg Jr. Vikes, also taught FJM camps and am currently part of the Miamisburg Sweethearts elementary staff. My days are busy working from home as Marketing Director for an IT tech company, I enjoy sharing life with my husband Michael (yes Michael Bolton) and cat Patches.

Hi, I'm Bridget! I've been with the ACG since 2018. I was in the Centerville World Guard and also spun with Allegoria Winter Guard. I love spending time with my family: my husband, our twins, and our two mini schnauzers. We love to play board games, go on walks, and when we can, we love going to the beach!
