  • What is Winter Guard?

    Winter guard is the sport of indoor color guard. The modern color guard is a combination of the use of flags, sabers, mock rifles, and other equipment, as well as dance and other interpretive movement. Color guards can be found in high schools, middle schools, some universities, and also some independent organizations, some of which are related to drum corps. - wgi.org
