Fall/Winter Guard Overview

Guard image This is a precision flag and weapons corp composed of grade levels 9-12.   Participants are selected through a rigorous audition process including the manipulation of equipment, dance, and performance skills.  

During marching band season, they perform as an integral part of the Marching Sabres.  

When the marching season comes to a close, they continue to train and hone their skills with a specially designed competition piece.   The Winter Guard training begins in the month of November and competitions begin at the end of January and continue through April.   The Winter Guard is a member of the Carolina Indoor Performance Association and the group goes to several competitions within this circuit.

The calendar has details on associated practice times, football games, mini-camps, fundraising events and more.
