The Woodgrove Winter Guard is an indoor ensemble that prepares a competitive show each year during the winter and spring months. They use recorded music and perform on a tarp (or floor) which covers the gym floor. Through movement, equipment and character work, they help bring the music to life visually. The Winter Guard season begins in November and continues into April.
