Winter Guard

Youth Enrichment and Sports / 7- Art, Music, and Theater -
2025/2026 CE Catalog

Rian Mahoney

Grades 8-12

Winter Guard is a performing arts activity with elements of dance and theater combining to create a competitive show that will be performed throughout the Twin Cities. In Color Guard, you will get to learn skills in different traditional forms of dance consisting of a mix between Ballet and Contemporary, as well as equipment skills where you will learn skills in Flag, Rifle and Saber. All while learning new forms of theatrical performance with a strong focus on projection. 

Interested participants need to partake in Placement Day, in order to be on the team. Placements will take place on either October 29th, October 30th, and November 2nd from 5:00-8:00 pm, at Meadowview Elementary. Program tuition will be priced once a final roster of participants is put together after placements. Interested participants should go to all placement opportunities if possible. 

Participants will start the day of placements with some basics training in dance and flag, then you will learn a flag routine that will be similar to what we will be performing in the final show. Lastly you will get to perform the flag routine with others in front of the instructional staff!

Additional information regarding competitions, locations, and more will be provided by the instructor.
