Winter Guard - V
Varsity is the higher level of winter guard and is made up of experienced spinners from grades 9-12. This team is decided during tryouts in late November-December and competes in WGI regionals as well as the SFWGA circuit. Varsity requires the fullest effort and discipline with a more advanced skillset, while still allowing time for fun and team building! Currently, the team competes in class Scholastic AA, and may shift to compete in class Scholastic A. Practices run through 5-8:30 pm every Tuesday and Thursday under the direction of Clement Vassel, Erick Cisneros, and Luis Jaramillo. The 2024 season is complete! Stay tuned for 2025!

Winter Guard is a fun-filled and exciting part of Color Guard that takes place during the Winter and is focused entirely on Guard (acrobatics, dance, flag, rifle, sabre). This season is open to students in grades 7-12, and serves as a great introduction to Color Guard for first years while allowing them to establish long lasting relationships with fellow Winter Guard members. The Winter Guard season culminates with a performance at the University of Miami after multiple performances at various schools in South Florida.
