Gary Graves

Last Saturday Rhythm X had the distinct honor of performing our 2014 show for visual judge Gary Graves at the WGI Dayton Regional. Shortly following a day of adjudicating the competition Gary suffered a massive stroke. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family during this difficult time. We can only hope alongside the rest of this great community that he will make a speedy recovery.

We have been fortunate over the years to come to know Gary and have had the honor of hearing his commentary many times on tapes and in critique. He has been a valuable resource and friend to our company and we wish him the best. 

You can learn more about supporting Gary at this CaringBridge website set-up by his family.
