Winter Guard

The Agawam High School Winterguard is a performance-centered extracurricular high school music ensemble. Agawam High School first had a Winterguard in the 1980s, and it was a successful competitive group in the late 1990s. Winterguard was revitalized in 2012. Students include fall colorguard members, concert ensemble students, and others from outside the music program.

 In 2017 the Winterguard represented Agawam in competition for the first time since 2001. At the end of this very successful season, the Winterguard was named Scholastic Novice Class Champions at Salem High School by the New England Scholastic Band Association. They also participated at the UMass Color in the Cage show in April. This became a springboard for some members to audition for, and gain acceptance to, the UMass colorguard.

In 2018, the Winterguard moved up to the next class and had a successful season while representing Agawam and Western Massachusetts all over New England.
