What is Winterguard?

Winterguard is a co-ed indoor season of colorguard. Performers combine flag, rifle, and sabre work with dance to tell a story set to music, performed on a painted floor in gyms and arenas. Milton competes in SAPA (Southern Association for Performing Arts) and WGI (Winter Guard International) events.

 

All students interested in being a part of the Milton Winterguard should attend the Try It Out dates to be placed on the Varsity or Junior Varsity team. Practice begins in November and goes through mid-April.

 

No prior experience or band class registration is necessary.

Winterguard is open to all students in 6th through 12th grade.
