winter guard
Indoor flag corps
Winter guard is an indoor color guard activity performed during winter months, when marching band season ends.
Teams perform choreographed routines with flags, sabers, rifles, and dance to recorded music, competing in gymnasiums and arenas rather than on football fields.
The activity emphasizes theatrical expression and precise equipment work: She joined winter guard after marching band ended.
Winter guard has developed into a competitive circuit with regional and national championships.
