Discovering WGI Winds: A Family Affair with the Morrells!
The way a person discovers the marching arts is something that they will always remember. In Trenton Morrell’s case, his parents, Stephanie and Trent, raised him to love music and the marching arts from a very young age. So much so that they even spent their most recent winter season competing together in a WGI Winds group based out of Westerville, Ohio.
