Welcome to the kilbourne guard homepage!

The Worthington Kilbourne Color Guard & Winter Guard is based in Worthington, Ohio.  The guard is comprised of students from Kilbourne High School, McCord Middle School, Perry Middle School, and Phoenix Middle School.  

The guard has received many accolades and awards over the years, most recently the varsity guard becoming a WGI Scholastic A Class Finalist in 2023, as well as all 3 winter guard teams placing 2nd at MEPA Circuit Championships in their class in 2023.

In the fall, the guard competes in BOA, MSBA, & OMEA alongside the Kilbourne Marching Band. Enrollment is open to any student from Kilbourne High School, McCord Middle School, Perry Middle School, and Phoenix Middle School in grades 8-12.  Clinics begin each spring in preparation for the fall marching season.

Our Winter guard program consists of a Varsity, JV, and Jr. Guard.  All groups compete in the OIPA circuit with occasional guest appearances in the MEPA circuit. Enrollment is open to any student from Kilbourne High School, McCord Middle School, Perry Middle School, and Phoenix Middle School in grades 7-12. Winter guard clinics and auditions are held in November of each year.
