Winter guard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about indoor color guard. For the comic book characters, see Winter Guard.

Winter guard is an indoor color guard activity, derived from the outdoor summer activity that is commonly part of marching band or drum corps. Unlike colorguard, which performs outdoors on a football field (is part of a marching band), winterguard is performed indoors, usually in a gym or indoor arena. Also, there is no band involved. A winterguard team performs using dance, acrobatic features, and most of all, with various pieces of equipment. While guard equipment can vary from anything to everything, flags, rifles, and sabres are the main pieces of equipment. Guard members toss, spin, and do much more with their equipment, which can change throughout their show. Their show has a selection of music, classical to contemporary. Major competitions worldwide are sanctioned and managed by Winter Guard International.
