What is the Greece Winterguard?

The Greece winterguard is a competitive indoor colorguard made up of students in grades 6-12 in the Greece Central School District.

The members represent all six of the middle and high schools in Greece.

A colorguard performs a choreographed routine combining interpretive dance and athleticism. Shows last about 3 minutes and are performed in an indoor gymnasium. Shows are usually one movement of music that tells a story or are centered on a theme.

A color guard works together by adding visual effects, dance, flag work, and rifle tosses to music. Students in drama, dance, gymnastics, band, orchestra or chorus typically join the “Guard”.

Who is eligible?

All Greece Central School District students in grades 6-12 can participate in the guard. We encourage chorus and orchestra students to join the winterguard. Since there is no colorguard class at school, this section is open to any student who wishes to participate.

Rehearsals

Rehearsals are usually on Tuesday and Thursday, 6:15 - 8:15 p.m at Long Ridge Elmentary. During our winter competition season, we will rehearse Saturday mornings on competition days.
